@Faith-and-Hope @Snowie @Former-Member @Shaz51
Had my gp appointment - blood pressure is a little high but we are going to keep monitoring it over the next couple of weeks and if it goes any higher then we will start the medication again.
I made the decision before I left home to not go to work today - it was going to be too much of a rush and I knew it would make me feel anxious with a limited time frame to get things done so I am going to aim for tomorrow morning so I can still go to hydrotherapy at midday. That is a much better plan that is achievable without any extra pressure on me. It will mean I can see some of the kids as well so that will be nice
I talked with my GP about the difficulties I had at DBT last week so that was good to talk about - I left her room today laughing and that is something I haven't done for some time so worth the visit for that alone

haha @Snowie I did comment about us laighing as I was leaving and that just made me laugh more
This little flutterby doesn't laugh much so it was a nice departure from my normal state!
How has your day been Hon?

It is so wonderful hearing how much you are into the different mediums from your course @Faith-and-Hope - the craft shops must be doing a roaring trade with you around That is something I miss doing with the kids and I don't have the room with everything stored at my place to do much myself - when the roof of the garage is finally done I can store some things in there and make some room.
@Snowie a low key day is just what you needed after your busier days over Friday and the weekend. I was going to get some washing done but it is raining again so it will have to wait until I get home tomorrow. So tonight I am going to have a very chilled out night - maybe watch House Rules and then early to bed if I can. The reduction in my meds has meant I am waking up super early so they may have to be adjusted up again - it doesn't seem to affect how tired I am in the morning - maybe we need to give them a little more time on the reduced amount but I will talk to my pdoc on Wednesday.
