Blegh day

I'm having one of those days where everything just aches. From joints and old injuries to a reminder that I really need to go by a dentist sometime soon-ish.. Blegh.. That said .. I'm currently watching little sparrows squabble over the bird feeder.. they actually line up on the railing of my porch and await their turn.. little borbs floofed out, or cleaning their feathers.. though some are a bit less patient than others.. they'll be next and try to hurry the birds at the feeder up.. It reminds me of theme park bathrooms when there's a school trip, and the parents doubling as group leaders try to corral a group of kids.. Meanwhile my Boston Terrier snores, curled up beside me. How can any day be both so crappy and so wonderful at the same time? I'm arguing with myself about getting up to get some tea, because it would mean leaving the spot I'm finally warm and comfortable-ish in.. but TEA! (And ibuprofen...) Can we make something that gives us all the feelings of "bed" while actually out of bed, so we can do stuff? Because I'm really quite sore, but I guess I'm in a pretty good mood as well? Figures.. xD

Hey guys.. seriously, thanks! I didn't really expect anyone to reply.. I just hoped it might be relatable and make someone smile :) And yeah.. bad days are just that. Tomorrow will be better.. I'm actually finding I'm pretty creative today..

Glad and happy to hear! And hope it gets better ❤️Dealing with PMDD atm and your description of the bird and dog stuff warmed my heart. Ty for sharing that :)

BTW I loved how you described your day. It's beautiful. And dogs snoring is one of my favorite sounds. Have you tried Arnica Gel or the OTC roll on lidocaine? homeopathic Arnica works for me as do Turmeric capsules.

No, but I'm certainly tempted to try it. I'm really flexible, so in my late 40s it means I dislocate joints pretty often and it really gets very sore. As for Tumeric, ironically my husband uses that as a support (he has late stage cancer, and tumeric for some reason settles his stomach and makes taking iron easier.. (some research has also suggested tumeric works against certain forms of cancer, but the fact that it works for his stomach for us is the main thing..) Thanks for the suggestions!!

There's this chair, footrest, and cradle thing combo called Moonpod. Holy crap, it's like a bed but you can do work from it. If it's on the floor and you're not 17yo, you have to roll out of it, but I just put the chair component on the couch. It's seriously the most comfortable thing in which I've sat in like forever. https://www.moonpod.co

Hey. Sorry you’re sore today. I am on a lot of days too and when we then have to add a bad adhd day on top, well, no-one can blame us for wanting to stay in our beds. I could clearly picture those little birbs at your feeder - like school kids hurrying each other at the water fountain as their break time is ending 😂. And yes, It certainly would be good if we could somehow wear our duvet and pillow around the house all day…. but not very practical - so might aswell just stay in bed haha! Anyways, Hope you feel better for tomorrow 😊 🤞

♥️ yeah.. the birds and the sound of my little dog under the blanket.. they help :) I ended up drawing for a bit.. I'm not sure how to share it on here but I guess that made a blegh day a better day :) As for kids and water fountains.. that reminds me so much of the better parts of childhood and summer.. thank you for that.. ♥️😊
