But, my mobility is getting worse and I am finding myself sitting way too much so I am trying to make a point to get up and move around and I am not beating myself up for resting either. I don’t walk outside but I am trying to walk more inside and climb those dreadful stairs of mine. I am trying to be kinder to myself.Melissahttps://boyett-brinkley.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355939382949051714.post-70797998728653057342024-01-27T12:25:45.988+00:002024-01-27T12:25:45.988+00:00I am so glad you don’t have the winter blues!

I give in to the chair way too much even though I know that, as hard as it is, moving around makes me feel better all around. Right now it isn’t as cold, no ice/snow, but we are having so much rain and that is almost as bad. Keep it up! I am sure you are not as unfit as you think you are — sounds like you are doing pretty good to me.Melissahttps://boyett-brinkley.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355939382949051714.post-12370836536537974872024-01-24T05:34:27.037+00:002024-01-24T05:34:27.037+00:00I think the cold affects many of us and wet weathe...I think the cold affects many of us and wet weather out doesn't encourage us to walk either, so round the house is good, Don't put yourself down, you're doing good.

I couldn't resist the smell of them and always ate at least one before I reached home. Goodness knows what the other passengers thought! As long as my Mum had 6 faggots for our dinner, she was happy for me to have 'my' faggot as payment for going. Since moving from Leicesterhire to Cornwall in 1986 I've never been able to buy a decent faggot, nor indeed pig's liver or haslet.
