July Army Manoeuvres

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

Morning all.
Big decisions to be made chez Satz re. mother.

HSE funding is there , Nursing Home ( where I work) is there , but I don't want to move her again.
I want to ask the doctor at the place she's in - (a temporary stop-gap between hospital & home) - if she can stay there long term as she is settled, popular with staff and has made a pal or two.
I hate moving her ...............

Starty how are you finding the CBD oil ?

Oh I do hope they can keep your mum. So much better than upheaval if poss. Fingers crossed.

The CBD is amazing. I would not be able to do all the walking I do and feel comfortable all day without it. That continuous ache interspersed with shooting pain is gone. I now only get the odd day when it can be a bit sore but nothing like it was. I really do swear by it.

Well done Arsey - such a relief I'm sure - my genius daughter didn't bother turning up for enough hours in the Gaeltacht so now has to go back down to do 3 shagging days.. FFS - 30 years of age and no sense!!! Guess who'll be babysitting!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrggghhhh!!
that oil sounds great Starty - is it like smoking a joint?

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

So, having completed the dissertation, some might say "you well deserve a wee libation".

Instead, cos i'm odd in that way that perhaps only people here can understand, I somehow get through the day without an alcoholic drink. Not one. Which, for me of late, has been kinda hard. I'm not declaring Day 1 or anything. I'm just quietly thankful i got through today. It makes tomorrow, theoretically, a little easier. But that's another challenge, for then, not now.

I'm going to bump you and young Satz heads together :bumpit:
He's on the dry as well. I took an order for 2 bottles of CBD oil and gave him one.
He swears it helps him sleep - which to me was half the battle.

Molls it's not like smoking a joint - is doesn't have the bit that makes you high - so it's legal.
It's a different part of the hemp plant but still has medicinal qualities.
Get some before 'Big Pharma' jump on the bleedin' bandwagon & they make it prescription only - even though it contains no drug.

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

Oh and my arrogant brother - I've told him to shag off - get down off his high horse
He's a bully and I suspect there is drinking going on ...... just a hunch.
Said HE would decide when HE met doctors and not rely on second hand information. Meaning me & my other brother's report on meetings on her long term requirements.

Accused us, also in that shitty passive aggressive way, of sidelining him and pushing for Nursing Home with the doctors. Not inviting (FFS) him to the meetings.
I told him if he's that interested why hasn't he met doctor himself and said now just feck off with yourself and do that this week and follow through yourself with whatever it is you want to do. I removed myself from the WhatApp group.
He is a SAP

Scottish lady on the till who booms at you to search your bag and gets right in there with her arm up to the elbow and pulls all your stuff out of your handbag. .

I'm afraid to ask but I have to Bridge :egad: why again has she her hand in your bag ?

Totally understand - for some reason we have to behave differently to others. Maybe it's the rebel in us ? I've always been a brat.
But ..... it's great to be different & your own person when it comes to most things but I've learned not when it comes to alcohol.
This is the mantra I preach to young Satz.
Not letting alcohol rule our lives is one area where we have to conform to survive.

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

Just quick check in to say good night and well done RC. Have 6 of them staying with me, like a guest house but little ones are lovely. Night everyone.

:haha: bump away.

What's CBD oil? To be honest getting to sleep isn't so much of an issue - unless it's the hot weather. My problem is more walking up 2 hours later and lying there WIDE awake for eons. BUT... That tends to happen a LOT more often if I've been drinking in the evening - even just 2 beers can have me have 2 ro 3 shorter sleeps rather than one decent long one (including 2minute toilet visit at about 2am - it's like clockwork :haha. If I wanted to sleep and not wake up then I'd need to hit and have half a bottle of whisky. But then I'd not want to wake up after doing that...

Procrastinating an early morning run...

Hope yer all sleeping sound!

Not much point then!! Great the new hours suit better - any chance the brother just feels a bit hurt and left out?

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

That's it done.

The dissertation.

It's gone. Posted off to uni, emailed to my supervisor...

And now, now I've got to fill my days with something. I might not like it, but think i might need structure.

For now, some daytime TV.

YAY! That's unreal. Text your Dad and tell him.

[MENTION=11158]stirly-girly[/MENTION]...........check in will you, love. I seem to remember that the fires over in Greece are very near where you used to live. How are you?

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

[MENTION=18049]RunningCourage[/MENTION]..........well done that man. Send your Dad a text full of smilies and memes.
Apparently, you have to go way back to when you were a teeny tiny person to work out your sleep patterns. Worth asking your mum and dad. Of course, the alcohol will have fecked them up slightly but those eary days remain.......I'm not a doctor but I had an awfully good psychiatrist who spoke a lot of sense.

Now tell me, Arsey. What exactly is stopping you going completely AF........is it you don't want to admit you're an alcoholic? Still want to be seen as one of the boys? Think people will think less of you if you don't drink? You haven't hit your rock bottom?..............not all of us do. How many times have you taken an 'Am I an Alcohol' test and cheated until you got the right answer? I've done that.

Sorry there was more but I've forgotten as there's a pong of what I can only describe as stale cabbage in the living room, its distracting and I can't fecking find it.
