I’ve not felt well today with both chest pain and tiredness. The chest pain is quite frightening, really.
Despite this, I managed to get down to Debenhams and buy a pair of cream-coloured jeans in my favourite style - Levi 514s. They seem to have been pushing their 511 jeans for the past couple of years but those really are tight. These ones are not tight like a lot of jeans but fit very well around the bottom and thighs and taper nicely. They weren’t cheap at £70 but I really wanted a light-coloured pair of jeans to go along with my grey, black, blue, navy, green and taupe coloured ones. I also have treated myself to new jumpers in the past few weeks so don’t need any more clothes this winter. I have a few nice outfits and can look quite smart but casual. I’ve started wearing my big brown leather jacket as the temperatures have begun to dip quite a bit.
I was up early, and got back home at 11am - I got a taxi back as I was knackered and went back to bed at noon. I then awoke at 4 and had some of the food I got from M & S for my tea.
It’s been a relatively busy week for me; I hope I can get a relaxing weekend free of chest pain and other worries.
It turns out that the organisation which offers the kind of support I need don’t offer it in North East Edinburgh which I am on the fringe of. I really live in Central Edinburgh. That’s kind of disappointing to me as I was looking forward to it.
I just need help with getting out more; I’m a bit isolated despite having 2 or 3 friends who have been most supportive. I’m OK in their houses and they will go to the chemist to pick up my meds or buy food for me.
What doesn’t help is the encroaching darkness at around 5pm. It’ll be even earlier next week as the clocks go back.
I heard a talk by an AA member once who was in his late 70s. His biggest regret, he said, was that he had worried too much in his life.
It’s hard not to at times but I think it’s good advice. Also good is to try something new if not every day then from time to time. It could be as simple as trying a new food for the first time or putting the time aside to listen to some music you’ve never heard or trying a new book. I think we tend to get stuck in our ways as we get older.
I got complimented on my orange and yellow trim phone today by the Tesco delivery man which made me happy as others have said they hate it lol. Straight out of 1975.
Simple pleasures Dreamy, they are the best.
I tried a Bulgarian breakfast, it was really French toast with cherry jam:shock: Trouble was, I broke part of a tooth as one of the cherries had a stone in it!
Ffosse based on some of the pics you have posted you have impeccably cool taste in such things. The beautiful lamp, the watches. You should set up a site and sell similar objects or at the least instagram it to inspire others.
It was Annie. It was a shame about the black cherry jam, but in all honesty, they went well together, something I would not have thought of. Sweet and sour - it works.
I’m fine. Yesterday I went to bed at 6pm as I was knackered. I awoke at 10pm and spent the rest of the night listening to podcasts. I must have drifted off again at around 5 as I woke up at 9.
I’m eating well but still not getting out much due to the panic attacks/laziness. I next see the Consultant in December and I hope that my condition has improved by then. I’ll only have to give a blood test and meanwhile I’ll continue with the injections every 2 months.
I’m not unhappy…just a little gloomy as the evenings are darker now. It’s only 3:35 but soon I will have to put the lights on.
I might give instagram a go as I like photos and will be interested to see what others have posted. I don’t really do social media beyond forums, though.
