Re: Carers under 30...

Hello @H3art

Lovely to 'meet' you.  I am an old girl. Having to deal with secret women's business old.  What are your hobbies?

 

@outlander  are your gums still giving you grief?  Good news from the secret women's specialist today, I don't need surgery in that department. Next stop will be getting my skin scrutinized - have a couple of spots that need checking out.

 

@H3art As carers we often neglect ourselves and I am getting a thorough once over after not looking after myself properly.

Day went ok pet. Met a friend for lunch and had a good natter, after that had specialist visit. Have just put a chook in the oven as we are having visitors out for tea. How about you @outlander?

Re: Carers under 30...

the days been a little rough. have been doing abit of crochetting and studying as well as quite abit of physical work, organising things for sunday- requested a day off for bday but thats not happening- have a day of volunteering to do. plus my car isnt happy and i dont think its going to just be a service like we thought as i dont have reverse and struggles to change gears and gets stuck in park as well so look like an expensice fix 😕

sounds like an easy going day for you but peraphs a little worrying to awaiting for results. speaking of which i have to go do myself soon.
i hope you enjoy the time with your visitors too

geepers no! that would be too easy now wouldnt it! @Former-Member

Re: Carers under 30...

HI @Former-Member I am a performer.  Struggling with that at the moment because my partner (who I care for) is also an actress and I get a little stuck because she really struggles when I go to auditions, while she's sick she's been comparing us more and more.

 

I have been trying to make sure I maintain some of my things like going to dance classes, which I used to love as a kid and now use as my exercise and just chilling out a bit on days where she has work and I don't.

 

I definitely need to enforce looking after myself a bit more because I have been struggling a lot recently.  I actually just quit a job and this all hit in the middle of my transition period so I don't really have that much work which is good because I can have more time to myself but bad because of the financial stress of it all.
