I slept most of yesterday & it's always the same sunny days go in a haze...

HOWEVER rather than dwell on feeling quite rubbish I was wondering if people would share ideas of what they do to take there minds off "things".

Sorry you are feeling low.

I usually make cards or do a scrap book page, just sorting through photos helps as well. And then there is reading, if I have a book I am involved in that can take my mind off feeling down or poorly.

And then I come on here where there is always somebody worse off than me to make me feel better.

I talk to the dog and then take him for a walk. Or dig out an old CD or DVD, or watch something really corny or silly on TV :-D

Hi Ann I develope a bizarre OCD with hobbies like that...I can't stop till it's finished. Some years ago I bought a jigsaw of the night sky with all the star constellations in luminous paint, most of it was black so I went missing for three weeks locked in a room from whence loads of swearing could be heard quite often. It did look good when it was finished though...so I gave it to my friend who also went missing for several weeks!!

Stray...I do that :-D trouble is most of them work but now the evenings are longer things should get livelier ;-)

Oh gawd I was thinking about you in this heat :-( Whatever you do move slowly (I know that wont be a problem) :-D

If your brain fog isn't too bad you could go back up your tree, if it is go online shoppiing, in your head, and don't buy anymore knick knacks :-P

Love me and him xx

Have felt a bit rubbish myself last couple of days.

Monthly hormonal headache has meant limited use of computer and inability to wind down with a book like I usually do to take my mind off things. Mind you I'm feeling a tad better today so sat in the garden most of the morning watching the animals enjoy the sunshine.

As a rule I try where possible to deal with things through laughter with a smattering of sarcasm peppered in for good measure. x

@ Muffy...I've been enjoying watching Saff running around with OH's tools, apparently it's not funny (it is). Be much happier when it's cooler & I'm not keeping Wall's in business!

@Puss I'm due for a SWT on my Achillies next week & I'll be going nowhere for a while but thanks for the invite...maybe in a month or so?
