You are doing very well going to work @Meowmy
Might sound horrible, but saying 'Life is Hard' is an affirmation ??
maybe change to something else , like 'I'm Batgirl and they can't tell' jk lol
how bout 'I'm something positive?
I got this from AI. My gift to You.
Healing from childhood abuse is a deeply courageous journey.
You are not defined by what happened to you, and your healing matters at every stage of life.
Reclaiming Safety and PowerI am safe in my body and my life today.
The past no longer has control over my present.
I am the protector of my own peace.
I hold the power to change my story now.Honouring Your Worth and Worthiness
I am worthy of love, respect, and deep kindness.
My inner child is safe, loved, and heard.
I deserve to take up space in this world.
My value is inherent, not based on my past.
Embracing Healing and Time It is never too late to heal and thrive.
I am allowed to heal at my own pace.
My fifties are a time of rebirth and strength.
Every step forward is a victory for my soul.
Releasing Self-BlameThe abuse was never my fault; I was innocent.
I forgive myself for any coping mechanisms I needed.
I release the shame that belongs to my abusers.

actually sunny outside now, just cool @GezzaP might stick my head out later.
Got to ring people about holter monitor bookings, the gift that never stops giving. The person whose job is to make appts stuffs them up in many different ways then walks away as too hard , or just fix it next time you are here. Im too an@l I know. love worrying, but things got to be in order. go figure.

ok its finally sorted @GezzaP took a while over the phone. Not easy for these people as they just set dates as requested, this was all messed up
Says15 deg here , feels like 12, going for 16 lol
may split some wood gratuitously later , ok to get blood pumping after cancelling gym. have enough for next couple nights now, but rain can be a factor as woodpile not undercover. had $10 plastic tarp last year that self-destructed in the wind. it worked tho.
might have a shower and find a movie. I'm so hungover. not sure what the thought process re gym was , if any.Now thinking about doing it again. luckily not much to choose from in house. local bottlo charges 40% over the odds and normal price 30ks away. not doing special trip so can get drunk which really should be doing anyway.

@TAB thanks for that i will be more diligent. Ive been drinking lots of water and watching salt in foods and on tins. Chinese doctor told me to drink hibiscus tea. The remedial massage was vigorous. It was nice its a lovely relaxing clinic. My back played up a bit afterwards i hope it will be ok. Getting my refurbished apple keyboard today have been without my desktop for several days because the keys on the old one were on the blink. Have been using my phone instead
