Travelling

[creativesarah]

Yesterday I went into town on the bus to sort out my new glasses as a trial run for my impending trip to stay with a friend in Charmouth.

The travelling went ok but I got in a bit of a state and it was a good job I was wearing my "Tena's" which has undermined my confidence a bit

I'm sure it was just a blip but I now feel unsure about going away and think I may postpone it

Aw Sarah don't let it spoil your going away, as you say it will probably be just a blip and you will be fine,



Hugs from Jeany xx

Sorry you feel a bit 'unsure' Sarah, I'm sure it's just a blip and you'll be OK and it will do you the world of good to be with your friend. But, maybe you'll feel better if you postpone til you feel a bit stronger. Take it easy on yourself

I have cancelled the trip to Charmouth I just dont feel right at the moment and felt a sense of peace once I'd rung my friend and explained

I'm really disappointed as I was so looking forward to going but I will try and arrange something with her for next month.

yesterday I felt very depressed but today I feel a bit better but I hardly slept at all last night.
I know this sounds silly but I couldnt remember what position I normally go to sleep in and at 4.30a.m. I was still trying out different positions trying to remember how I normally sleep

I'm sure you are disappointed but if you don't feel up it, you would only put yourself under too much pressure.

Love and hugs Helen x x

I agree with Helen Sarah.

It`s sad you`ve missed your trip but far better than to be anxious and unsure when travelling alone. The fact you felt peace once you`d made the decision speaks for itself.

There will be other opportunities to visit your friend.

Thinking of you Sarah. xx

Is the weather nice enough with you to have a doze in the garden Sarah? Not sleeping is not nice, but glad you feel a bit better.

 

[creativesarah]

Sue I have been weeding in the garden in the hope that I sleep better tonight!

 

[Sue J]

Good for you Sarah, I bet it was nice outside. Hope you do sleep better. I'm watching Chelsea Flower Show so virtual gardening

 

[CollegeGirl]

Sounds to me like you've done exactly the right thing, Sarah. Your trip was supposed to be a pleasure, so if it was causing you such anxiety I think you were right to cancel. I agree with Sylvia, your sense of peace once you'd made the decision means it was the right one.

Could your friend come to see you, instead, maybe?

As for trying to find your comfy sleeping position, I understand completely. I suffer from the torture that is restless legs, and no matter how tired I am, if my legs start bothering me, that's it, I'm tossing and turning, trying to get comfortable, for hours.

Hope you have a better night tonight.

 

[creativesarah]

Thanks everyone I am hoping to try again in a couple of weeks or a month I need the break and it does me good to stretch myself but on this occassion I knew it would be a stretch too far!

 

[garnuft]

Good thinking Sarah, it'll be good when you're ready for it and not before.

If it's any comfort, I hate going away and I hate being at home... XXX

Hi Sarah, hope you get to sleep in the right position tonight. You could set up a reminder taped voice telling you which way you sleep in case you forget again.Take care.

Hi Sarah , Sorry your neck hurts but for you that you found your *LIST * for your Holiday Have a lovely , lovely time & safe travel


** HANDY TRAVEL ADVICE ** ( it helped me remember the Bus Times etc when I was NOT in my Town / Area )


On some Note Paper I wrote down the names of all the Towns was travelling through & next to each Town wrote down the Bus Times for each Bus that I had to get on & the Departure Time etc ( It was a BIG Help as knew what time the Bus went )


Hope this helps & was thinking it might help you ? Just write down all your Train Times etc & if you have to change Train the name of the Town / Station & what time Train you have too get ( sorry if its all a bit ing for you & please ignore if you want too ! )

The Note Paper I had with all the Bus Times on put in my small bag so could look at it quickly


Take Care & have a good Holiday


Love Grove x x

Plus, of course, that you have a fabulous time when you actually get there. All us TPers will be waiting to see what photos you have to delight us with.
