I got this t-shirt from my mom. 100% Me!
Even looks a bit like Squeek, who I caught mid-yawn last night!
I realized this morning that it's been a while since I paid attention to what's going on in my head. There's just been so much going on outside, that I haven't really had time for inside... and the truth is, even if life gets hectic, you have to schedule that time in.
Look how I'm managing to claw my way back to 1000 HP despite powering down every week. Things have been tough... and exhausting.
Were halfway/ almost 3/4 of the way to my mom's visit from the UK, and honestly, she's become a lot easier to be around. Look, she still frustrates me, but it's wonderful to just spend time with her. You know she is so far away, and I worry so much about her health. The Mobey/ Pape Ladies have been known to outlive everyone around them, either through good genes or sheer stubbornness, lol :p but I still worry.
We have decided to have a little Halloween party after all. So, I'm busy baking Halloween cupcakes. I started with the carrot cake ones last night and then I will move on to the vanilla cupcakes on Friday. On Saturday, I'm going to ice them in orange or white as ghosts or evil pumpkins. I'm going to try to paint the faces on using a paint brush! Wish me luck.
My mom stayed over for dinner last night and things seemed so much less pressured. I made us the most amazing carbonara - I will share my recipe in my food blog, but it was just what the doctor ordered after all that shopping!
I eventually plonked myself into a wheelchair in the shop when I realized my back and knees were not going to make it any further.
I do push myself to hard and yesterday, my mom helped me realize I dont have to be invincible and it's ok to ask for help.
Today, I have an appointment with my GP to speak about going to Ozempic or something similar. This will help my healthy eating efforts and swimming and will hopefully help me to lose all the weight I need to for the doctors at Grooteschuur to take me seriously. Wish me luck!
This is the most positive update I've seen you post in ages. I've got to say it... you're doing awesomely ! Yes, there are still plenty of challenges, and there'll always be good days and bad days (that's just life).

Shirt is looking nice but the cat is giving expressions like she is not ready for the click. you are enjoying meal and Halloween party is looking great.
Absolutely!!! Just like me, not ready for the day! At least I work from home now so I can swear and wear my pajamas as much as I like!
