Slow Monday

Today, I have spent most of the day in bed due to fibro and got myself out about 5pm to get milk and something for dinner.

I had a ready made salad, a smoothie and a packet of crisps (today’s Blip) and it was delicious.

I managed under 5,000 steps which I am pleased with given my higher pain and fatigue and the heat today. 

I’m glad it’s not raining but sometimes my fibromyalgia and joint hypermobility syndrome dislike warmer weather. I enjoyed getting some fresh air and not needing a coat or hood!

This evening, I caught up with messages from friends and completes some Duolingo music and Ukrainian practice and caught up with life admin.

One of my best friends and former colleagues is currently fighting breast cancer and is undergoing radiotherapy at present. 

She’s looking and feeling well, she has been such a wonderful friend to me over the past fourteen years.

I need to catch up with journals tomorrow!

Today’s steps are in the extras. If you would like to support my paced walking fundraiser in aid of breast cancer, here is the link:

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Giving Page. Due to having fibromyalgia and joint hypermobility syndrome, I will undertake this challenge by doing paced walking (with mobility aids as necessary). I am a chronic asthma warrior too.

I plan to undertake a paced walking challenge throughout July 2024 for breast cancer research for all those living with the disease. This is for you and for all those no longer with us.

I have lost many friends and family to different cancers (oesophageal cancer, stomach cancer, bowel cancer and breast cancer) and my Mum is a Stage 2 breast cancer survivor thanks to advances in screening, treatments and research.
