Somewhere in California a man has been spotted running down the street so fast that it looks like a new world speed record has been set.

Kind of feeling sorry for myself and wondering where this "poor me" mentality is coming from. It's like I'm upset that my husband didn't even bother to ask me how I am feeling this morning. What does it matter? He rarely does that when I am sick. Anyway, hoping it's a low key day with my father in law - a movie perhaps? That would be a great escape from my head.
No gym for me, going to take it easy.
Here for 24 beautiful more hours of freedom...

I hope you and your father-in-law have a nice day today....a movie would be a good treat.
So many good ones to choose from at the moment too. I so hope you feel better and better as the day goes on.
That sounds like a bug with a fever....your body is probably fighting a virus. Take it easy. We care very much how you are feeling.

Hope you are on the mend Suze?
I'm in for 24..

People here are polite....they don't say: Holy crap, what happened to your face? Now, if I was in Australia....
So I have told quite a few interested acquaintances that yes, my jaw was dislocated and the swelling will take time to go down. Of course everyone wants to know HOW I did it....sigh.....pure talent? I am that good at stressing myself out that I accidentally dislocated my own jaw?
Yes, I did.
And some changes need to happen.
Big time.
I need to look after myself MUCH better.
I know you are doing your best to look after your parents now love and yes, lots of us here are dealing with this or have been through it.
Many of you know that I was my parents' carer for years, and my mum had Alzheimer's as well as many other things. I know exactly how hard it is.
And I offer my experience and strength to all of you.....we can always help each other.

The advice seems to be to pick my battles (they don't see mess apparently), let her know I love her and try not to do anything embarrassing. Ever. Thank heavens I'm sober.... I'm going to have 4 teenagers in this house in a few years.... it's going to be a hormonal mine field. ... at least life should never be dull.
I'm so glad you stood your ground with the care home Delilah. I had to go into battle on behalf of my dad on a number of occasions when he was in the pysch ward and then the hospice. It can be so difficult being assertive in such an emotional set of circumstances but standing up for the ones we love when they're vulnerable and need our help the most.... well, that's the true definition of love. I just hope that one day when I'm vulnerable, someone will go into battle for me. Although from the look my 12 year old daughter gave me this morning, I don't fancy my chances!!!
Congrats milestoners. 24 more for me please xxxx

You made me laugh, almost cry and become filled with so much love and gratitude for what I was able to do for my parents.
It was 3 very hard years that I do not regret for a single second.
And may I say very quietly that I think your 12-year-old kind of rocks. I love that age for one reason only....(Cos I know what monsters girls turn into around then), but the part I love is watching that little girl turn into someone with her own opinions and view of the world. A lot of that door-slamming is hormones for sure, but some of it, for me anyway as I remember, was about being disconcerted....
You go from seeing adults and the world in a certain way to all of a sudden feeling that hey, these people don't really know everything, or possibly anything at all. Adults are stupid. And annoying.
I remember feeling that way as I struggled to find out who I was becoming.
Just my 2 (OK 200 000) cents.
You are amazing. Just saying.

Thank you all for always being supportive and my special thanks to an extremely special lady, you know who you are. Last time for self pity and self indulgence. I will be checking in just to let you know I am around. Keep on doing what you are all doing, it works. Much Love 24'ers, you mean a lot to me. SP

♥May I suggest something love?
Fight through the tiredness for one day and don't let yourself sleep during the day.....just for one day. And try not to eat for a few hours before you go to sleep at night.
It really may help.
And mental chiropractors is brilliant!

Neoo, I have a funny....I bought us Halva....do any of you know it?
It is a beautiful sweet treat made from sesame seeds.
I wanted to look at the wrapper to see the ingredients.
Check this out....
I thought it said THREE nuts may be present....hysterical.
I was wondering who here besides me is secretly working for a halva manufacturer.
