Hi @oceangirl .... how are you travelling ?
It's been a messy day for me today. Internet woes .... trying to muster an unwilling tribe to meet a lunch commitment, and WH has come down with a bad cold, and as much as he might protest ... he is not taking the proper care of himself to get well .... :face_with_rolling_eyes: .... it has stopped all his exercise ... so guess what ?? Barely eating .... grrr !! All part of our road ....
I hope you have had an okay day. You have been on my mind .... ❤️💕
Sorry @Ffm48 .... late reply for "messy day" reasons above. I am sure Rory to hear you are struggling ....
I have a "shower menu" for when I am feeling low and a shower-shower is just too much to consider -
1. Shower-shower - as in putting self under warm running water with soap
2. Hand-basin-shower - wash cloth, warm water, soap .... **
3. Wet-wipes-shower - cold, but "soap" is already in the cloth .... **
4. Deodorant-and-underwear-change shower - bandaid solution only lasts 24 hours or so ....
** can be partial .... hit and miss over days is okay.
With 5 kids under 10 ... the first of whom were 3 kids under 2 (one with major health issues) ... I learned to run raids on the housekeeping before collapsing back into bed .... my bedroom being set up as a day-care centre full of play pens, TV, toy boxes, a kettle and tea and coffee, snacks, and wet-wipes for "showering" everybody.
Would muster the strength to go thrown on a wash-load, then return to my room, or soak dishes in hot sudsy water and pull them out on another raid when the water had gone cold .... it's amazing what you can get done while spending most of the day horizontal.
Hope this helps .... thinking if you too ....
❤️
