Morning. Just 4 degrees this morning and a bit of frost on roofs and car windscreens.

A chilly, hilly, willy walk done.

The hills around us were looking lovely in the early sun.

I have just been "told" that my family are coming later and that my son is cooking a full roast for us.
I am torn as a) I appreciate that they want to look after me but b) I don't want my life taken over.
Very difficult.

"Under Pressure"......... :sad:

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

It is difficult. You don't want them taking over. It's nice to have your own space and time to do what you want, even if it is doing nothing.

Best to have a heart to heart explaining this now rather than letting it fester. I am sure they will totally understand that you still need to run your life the way you are used to and need your own space at times. :hugs:
 
Not walking today, a while back I started to get upper back pain on the left side while walking I googled and it said “bad posture”, but how I'm walking with a straight back, well I think I am.
Google also stated it may be muscle strain, yesterday after my walk I had to take two paracetamols as it was so bad. Today it is back again and I've only walked up to church this morning, but that it only up the road, I'll have to give it a rest for a while to see how I go.
I had homemade lasagna for lunch it was all ready made and all I had to do was bung it in the micowave for a few mintues and I like a cheese sauce with mine and that is easy to make and then put it in the oven to brown off.
Must make some more as that was the last one and it is so easy to do.

You have my sympathy as someone who also has to be mega careful with my back. It’s so incapacitating when it hits :sad:
