Germany 2017

Here we are in Germany 🇩🇪 at my mom’s for two weeks. A couple of days from now the time is over and we’ll go home again. Had a hectic but great time. Especially Mama’s 90th Birthday Party went really well. We met so many lovely people again and many contacts were renewed.

I am quite proud of the fact that this dress still fits and collected many compliments *blush* 

Home made decorations were great fun

Overwhelmed

Sometimes you can get overwhelmed by things that others seem to manage without trying. I am in that situation and have no idea what to do about it.
So what is going on?
I am trying to catch up with two years of dreadful house work or rather none existent house work. Since my hip operation I have been in a bad state and not just because of the pain in my shoulders, but also because my mind seems to be somehow incapable to function.
Somehow all initiative is gone and motivation isn't there at all.
So now I have to find a way of getting over that. I guess I just have to throw my heart over the fence and jump after it.
Can I ??

What happens now?

well so ... a new start ... but what does that mean?
For me in no particular order

• I have to learn to live with the fact that there are some very unpredictable things in. My life and I can't do anything about that. (Brexit at the moment gives me the most sleepless nights)
• My arthritis is not getting better. So I need to work out if there is a pain medication regime that will work for me better than the ne I am on.
• And I have t get better at managing my work load. I am slowly learning about "pacing" but I also need to learn about self compassion.

I have made a start. But I just wish I could explain the concept of pacing to my husband. Hey ho ... Rome wasn't built in a day
