Success with an ouch

I woke this morning to the thought that there was little to do today. Then I read my twitter messages and life got busy.

First of all there was a trip to the church as it was the final coffee morning of our centenary and we were lucky enough to have a person from MERU join us. All year we had been fund raising for the charity and today we passed them a cheque from our efforts. It was nice to here what our money would be put to use to from small aids to help teens dress themselves to the basic bugzy for a child to have free mobility as a youngest. We also had the prize giving for a poetry competition and that was emotional listening to the winning poem of living through the blitz locally.

Plenty of people came to see how I was doing and were surprised to hear how complex the form filling and medical process was that I was battling through. To be frank it did become a little repetitive for me, but it was a shock for them to hear how difficult the whole situation is for my family and I. I lasted nearly two hours before I needed to go home which was pretty good, especially as when we got there I found I had left all my painkillers at home.

Once fed and watered I decided to make the most of the Open House event in the London area. As we have a lot of local historic sites I thought I would drag husband dearest to the two closest to home. Am I mad? Not only did that involve steep hill hopping both ways I forgot the narrow step stair cases in both places. Never mind with whining and bored husband I went round the local museum and the historic water tower with sunken bath.and enjoyed every minute of it.

That said I didn't enjoy the hop up the steep hill called my road to return home and now everything from waist down is throbbing. Do I regret any of it? nope except next time I will take my pain killers with me. It was the chance to get round places free of charge and with limited opening hours. Am I now tired out? Well yes but don't let on to my husband or I will never hear the end of it.
