I have absolutely no appetite at the moment. Given I feel like Sumo Liz right now, that really can’t be a bad thing.
Life started opening up this morning partially in the U.K. Shops and hairdressers and gyms.
There is still a social distancing code and life is not due to be fully open until June.
Let’s hope this time around people behave like humans instead of feral idiots when we talk about social distancing and being safe.
I’ve already heard a few people assuming that because they haven’t felt any affects other than their freedom of movement they feel today is back as usual. Well let’s see.
Personally I’m taking the slow and steady road because I have plans in life and I’d like to see them through in the way I want. No rush.
It’s 10 pm here U.K. time and unlikely I’ll get much sleep tonight.
I’m exhausted to be honest but I also don’t feel I can go to bed. I’ve had a really rubbish few days. Like really rubbish. I could have said days ago, Sunday, yesterday but I didn’t.
I try and just crack on as nothing worse than a whiner.
So I had the vaccine on the 12 March and ached a few days like an old woman. Job done all over.
Wednesday last week a headache started. Got bad Thursday night/Friday morning into Saturday. Apart from headaches felt ok if not more tired .
I put it all down to side effects.
Sunday started getting an odd nausea moment now and then. Monday comes and I’m literally buzzing and more awake and alert I’ve felt in a long time. On top of that I’ve been peeing like a ridiculous constant and can’t stop drinking.
Then the nausea gets worse and keeps coming. Then the sweating. In the meanwhile I’m starting to test my sugars to make sure I’m ok. They’re reading 23 then 21 and basically been that way a few days.
Today I tried to get a call back from a doctor at the GP surgery and instead I got a call back from a nurse. I describe what I’m feeling and that I’m constantly peeing and can’t satiate my thirst.
So the first thing she says in her why you wasting my time voice was to say in a gruff voice “why are you testing your sugars” errr I’m a diabetic!! Then proceeds to tell me I shouldn’t have to. Well gosh tell the doctor then as it’s the doctor that prescribed me the stuff to record my readings.
Nurse then proceeds to tell me I either have menopause or I may need a check as she thinks I have a prolapse!!! So yes what can I say at this point? What part of diabetic did she not hear.
But let’s make things worse. I said I need to be seen. So an appointment is made for me today at 3pm. Nope not see a doctor but the paramedic!! He who doesn’t know about diabetes at all.
It gets worse. So he takes my blood pressure. It’s high but he says he isn’t worried by it, takes a blood test to read the sugar, it’s high and he says I shouldn’t worry about it as it’s normal. So again my mouth was agape. ( in my masks). Anyone with a brain cell knows a diabetic should go above 12 at the worst but 21 that’s serious.
I hand him a bottle of pee and he asks me what for. Err to check my ketones as I’m a diabetic. so he dips the stick and says yes they’re a bit high but he isn’t worried.
Then he is about to dismiss me and I say ummm I’m feeling sick, I have a constant headache, I’m sweating, peeing and can’t get enough water and my stomach pain.
Apparently I need Gaviscon and to get my eyes tested as its maybe my vision causing me to feel this way.
Glad I was wearing a mask because under it I was looking at him mouthing the C U next Tuesday word.
No I really was.
I’ve got blood test on Thursday but here I am at home in pain, feeling sick and still got high sugars. It’s 10:30 pm and I can’t go sleep like this.
Moral of the story ? Right now the NHS is questionable.
But if you want to see how incompetent today was. Don’t take my word. The phot below the credits is a text message sent to me after my consultation on the phone with the nurse.
Apparently I’m a candidate to consider being checked for diabetes!!!! Oh an apparently referring to blood tests? I don’t need to say more!
I’ve become a real believer that when making dance videos you really need to see the dance.
I love a story in my videos but I’ve learnt those are for my own self indulgence and the most important thing is to show people what a dance looks like.
Well you won’t miss this one as it’s pretty sassy and check out the technique!!!
Anyhow I’m asleep by the time this is seen (scheduled) so let me know tomorrow what you think.
I love Sunday’s, I just wish they lasted longer than they do.
It’s probably the only day in the week I feel relaxed for even a brief moment. Then comes Sunday evening and I start to start winding up ready for another week.
Is anyone else like this?
If I think about it, is it because of current lives we are living now or the fact that I’m a miserable soul?
I’m a miserable soul if I’m alone in this feeling. But I doubt it.
All of us normal average working souls share this because we are not living our best lives.
My best life is certainly far from here back in Australia, being creative and feeling the sun each day.
My children and close friends all nearby and never a worry about work and it’s politics.
But then there is reality and I’m not rich and can’t just whisk everyone to where I want to be.
So Sunday evening comes and I start that heavy feeling of monotony again waiting for Friday.
In the meanwhile I think in my virtual life I’m looking rather savvy here and really ready for a spring encounter.
What you think? An afternoon tea maybe with scones and cream? P

Honestly I am due a rant. I’m trying hard not to but it’s just too hard.
The word Tillia!
Someone explain to me why me a non merchant in Second Life has had to give my documents to Tillia to prove who I am. Yet at the same time Second Life tell me they don’t know and it is Tillia I need to speak to. But then Tillia emails me and they say it’s Second Life!!!
Now I’m really not being funny. But, aren’t they owned by the same person or peoples???
Left hand, right hand springs to mind.
That’s been my 24 hour stress. Let’s hope when I wake up tomorrow both hands know what they are doing.
Now to the Access Event!

What a complete waste of time in my life that was. Seriously I can’t imagine it did much at the box office!
I love a good Armageddon / Mother Nature disaster film but sadly this was just a little so so.
Made me think more how much despite me dreaming of snow, I’m starting to yearn for lazy sunshine days by the beach now.
It’s something to look forward to and frankly if I can’t get to the beach I have a lake I can relax by and enjoy the warmer weather when it comes. Let’s hope it hurries along so I can languish like my avatar.
Though cannot say the sight of me in the same outfit as my avatar would be the same. To be fair I can guarantee it won’t.

Good morning and Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums out there and those who have left us and those who are still to come.
Each Mother’s Day I’m reminded that my mum is not here and I cannot say those words ever again. But I can say them to everyone else.
So Happy Mother’s Day.
It’s a bit weird this year as no one can see each other properly. I received my gifts of flowers and specially made cookies from my daughter and grandson on my doorstep earlier.
Not long till we can spend better time together.
My son will drop by later today and I’m looking forward to that as I miss him so.
Anyhow enough of the mush, let’s visit Stars by Cica Ghost. Purple is my clothing choice for today.
