Feeling a bit down at the moment ... maybe just a combination of things - one of the 'to do' things I actually DID was get my skin checked out.  I had about 15 cancers burnt off my hands and arms which blistered up nicely, had to go back to have two cut off my neck and one from my nose which needed a stitch and I have to see the doc about again when the biopsy results come in.  He thinks it may need more work (?!)  so.....I look like something from a leper colony (no offence to lepers intended) at the moment. 

My daughter also has a friend and her dog staying for a week.  She's a great kid but with children, it's a case of 1 + 1 = 10 when you are used to only having one around.  The NOISE level, the MESS and the frantic activity ... not to mention getting the dogs to socialise - one with depression, a puppy that just wants to chew the others up (in play) and one very small ..now anxious...visiting dog that doesn't want to be chewed up by the new puppy and doesn't understand why the dog he used to play with sits around with a sad look on his dial all day.

I am finding it too hard to 'just do' the things I feel I really need to do.  Just can't get through the 'STOP! DON'T GO THERE ... FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO' sign firmly planted in my consciousness.   Also feeling physically rundown at the moment and can't sleep.  Am seeing the doc on Friday and have resisted the temptation to ask for sleeping pills but might do it then.  Finding it harder and harder to stay positive.  Ups and downs of life.. hey...
