Update on lots of things

Feel like have got way behind with this so for a bit of catch up will write what have worked on and what will work on this month in one long post. Hope it is not too long.

Will be able to carry on with swimming as have found warm pool to join only in Wimbledon and reasonable membership so will be able to carry on with swimming the channel. Was very glad to find that it is not 380,000 yards wide!!!
Couldn't go to the flower show as had very painful feet tired and hip pain but hope to be up for it next year unless I can find one on between now and then.
Tried reiki and pain machine for a month, think pain machine has been more successful but still use Reiki for facial pain when it is bad and it seems to help.

Have sent a video of Catrina doing pressups to you've been framed although it was taken with a camera phone and may not be good enough quality. Will try to have camera at ready to video her doing other funny things.

Have started taking some pictures to have enlarged taking some on my spoon theme and also will take some good family ones to have framed to use in Turkey.

My friend Kym takes some lovely phots so will try to have good look at hers to give ideas and techniques to use for future.

Have been listening to songs on ipod while swimming but the ipod crashed so now I don't know where I am and have lost about 1000 songs so will have to update it from whoevers itunes library I used before.

Dye Hair Blue

Have been trying to do this for a long time so Geri put the colour on me today when I was visiting her at Dan's house. Catrina has had a little bit too.

Will post a picture here soon not sure if I feel brave enough to go out with it but will take a picture in pub if I do.

Have a lot of posts to catch up on have not been too goood since returning from Turkey but will try and catch up with both blogs soon

What Are YOU Working on

Hi Loves
Have failed miserably at beating David on the Wii but am demanding a rematch.
Not managing to lose any weight but have had extenuating circumstances so am excusing myself on this one.
Have found that drinking water and eating fruit definately makes me feel better so will carry on with this as long as can really.

Received new talking book and put it onto to itunes but still needed little bit of help from Pierce- still trying to do it alone

Have been using pain machine regularily and also giving myself Reiki.

Think I am getting a lot of benefit out of using pain machine not so sure about Reiki mostly because I have badly needed pain relief.

Added new target to my list as am swapping become a reiki master for throw out 50 things as J pointed out that if I become a Reiki master I would have to teach it and cannot see myself doing this.
So how are you all doing? Let me know its lonesome here

Monthly Check-In-April Linda

I can't believe its only been a month and I have already managed to complete 8 things from my list. It must be all those years of target setting for pain relief and pacing that have helped me.

1 We had a lovely spa day together here and may repeat it, it was very relaxed hope to do another one maybe at my Mum's.
2 I really enjoyed getting rid of the work papers and if I find any more bits around I just rip them up and throw them away-freedom.
3 I liked wearing the dresses every day and got a few compliments off hubby so may wear them more often.
4 The blog has been very interesting to do ad I can't wait to see Sues one about geneology I'm sure it will be very good, so although I have complted my month and as you know am doing two blogs I will carry on at least until the 1001 days are up.
5 Following on from the blog was writing an article about the 101 list for the fibro group so one target helped complete another one- how great was that.
6 Putting more plants in garden was really lovely and I can't wait to see all the flowers caome up. 7 Sharing skills has gone really well and I am hoping to learn card making with a friend or sister Liz?
8 What a week it was in Turkey went way out of my energy envelope but my house is beautiful and I can't wait to go back there in five weeks time.

Things I am still working on are donating rice to freerice which makes you feel goos as well as keeping the old brain ticking over. Have started a website but not done anything to it other than link it to this blog. Still trying to wear all clothes in my wardbobe which should be easier now have tidyed up and ordered it. Cupboard tidying is ongoing helped by my little mousey visitor.

My only problem was not buying clothes for a month only lasted 25 days then "needed" new pajamas for Turkey. Soooo have to start again on that one although I think I certainly saved some money. Will have to try and look at my wardrobe as my new "shop".

hope to see a few more people adding their posts but I can always do it for you and even their lists.
