Group 7-day waking average?

Today has gone well ...

Untill...

My wife decided to put yet another lock on the house side gate.

ANOTHER !!!

I stood my ground in not allowing it. Instant anger from her illness. My was she horrible.

I am beginning to think that I am an abused husband. Yes, we do exist.

She is no longer speaking to me.

Another day ruined by her illness.

I hate everything locked up and covered over to protect from unseen intruders.

I have to now stand my ground even if I lose everything. Enough is enough.

It must be very difficult not knowing which behaviour you are going to encounter. Is there no one that can help you ? You shouldn’t have to go through this on your own . My thoughts are with you x
 
GoodMorning 6.9 Today
 
Good morning. Nervous about how today will pan out. I will throw the new lock away before my wife gets up. Then its a long walk just to get some peace.

Unless my wife becomes a danger to herself or others there is no help for her or me. And so it goes on relentlessly. The sad thing is that she has absolutely no awareness of her illness even though she has sat in front of several consultants who have spelt out her illness to her. Because she does not believe that she is ill, she cannot tackle it or recover from it.

4.8 this morning. Quite surprising since all the stress of yesterday.

Tears today 12.6 . I walked the farthest I have done for a long time last evening too. This does not make zany sense to me whatsoever.

Morning from frosty Cumbria. AGAIN!! A nice round 6. Up with the larks as going to Arran. Woohoo! Showered and lateral tested, ready for my toasted crust! Nothing goes to waste in the eggy household when we’re going away! Will Hoover myself out the door at 8.30am. Ferry at 12.30, I expect it’ll be a tad busy. See you all soon. Have a fab day. 🙂

I hope your Saturday is a calmer one.
 
Morning all. :D 6.9 here.

Another person dashing out the door, whooosh emoji. Sadwrn Siarad (Saturday Chat Club) starts at 10 - this one is FREE (usually £8) so there’ll be pages and pages of us from all corners of the world, all chatting in Welsh. Got to walk the dogs first…I’m excited for you @eggyg - enjoy!!!:D😛🙂
 
Joining @Lanny and @Michael12421 in a HS sandwich with a 5.1 this morning.

Another cold and sunny day.
Plans to do a bit of gardening rain permitting.
Our Wisteria is like clockwork with the flowers just coming out.


Have a great break @eggyg.
I hope your walk gave you some peace @Gwynn
i hope your symptoms have eased @Clifton

Enjoy the start of May.
 
5.3 for me this morning. 🙂

Morning all...

After the Moderna vaccine creating havoc with a slew of side effects last night - all minor - headache, tingly mouth, pins and needles in my fingers and toes, slight nausea and a thumper of a sore arm, I slept like the proverbial log.

Arose from my slumber later than normal and had a very pleasant finger jab result of 5.5, which given its volatility yesterday all the way to 9 and back at one point is I think not a bad mmol . Side effects apart from an achy arm have entirely subsided.

I have shaved, with the door shut and phone in the study for the absence of doubt and sitting in late autumn type clothes in the garden with a steaming mug of Java, Lawrence the lab and Gwen the cat judging by the action 50m away tormenting a hapless rodent.

Kids are off to Saturday tennis and swimming, I am making a breakfast of omelette and smoked salmon for Madame upon her return then it's a drive to the north of Bristol to wave adieu to our trusty people carrier thinggy to welcome its replacement. Another new machine (end of its lease, new one begins, all very tax efficient too via Madame's business).

This afternoon, if it's dry, family walk on the Downs with everyone except Gwen the cat (that'd be a disaster) and there we have it!

I hope everyone had a pleasant Friday evening and Saturday shapes up to be just spectacular for all!

7 on the dot this morning. Rubbed down my wooden bistro set yesterday as going to paint it for the balcony of the caravan. Have woken with back ache so had to get up. Also have some chest pain again, think I may need to run this past the doctor as have had a few episodes of this over the last couple of months and have a history of heart disease, not overly concerned but wasn’t a number of years ago when they found plaque in one of my arteries!!
@eggyg wishing you very happy holidays, hope you have great weather and look forward to some photos x
@Gwynn am out of ideas but my thoughts are definitely with you, I hope today is a good day for you xx
Have a lovely start to May everyone x
