Fuzziness

I wake up with a headache most days and even though I wish I could go for a run in the park sometimes I just walk around in a haze of fuzziness.

I live day by day not knowing if today will be a clear headed day or not. Sometimes I wish I knew what it would be like to have a clear head.

I definitely know there are worse things out there, I have lived it and I know I am not the only one suffering but it makes it hard to function.


For those that don't know, they just don't understand why I seem so vague at times, I call it being hung over, that's what it feels like.

I have kids and sometimes they don't understand why I need some quiet time.

Sorry I haven't been around much, haven't blogged about things I should have. Thank you for understanding.


For now I need a teeny bit of a break and just as a show of empathy, my third baby (ms canon) has decided not to turn on, she needs a service. 
It's painful not to have her handy, but I know she needs a break as well.


I am still reading your news through google reader and will pop by when I can...♥

Wishing you a great end of October lovely friends ♥

    Put your feet up a while and soak up all that is positive in your life at the moment. Chill out, rest and you'll feel up to it all again before you know it. Change is as good as a holiday! Look forward to reading from a rested YOU again soon. xo

    Oh Cathie, my heart aches to read your words.
    Bren and I were talking about this exact issue yesterday and how much more difficult it can be now we are grown up and have kids to look after. I would like to recommend pilates. It certainly has improved some things around here. Sending you so much love and clear head vibes. XX

    Cathie,
    So sorry to hear you are suffering. I empathise completely with you, as I am often thrown to the wall with migraines, and know when I wake up with one it's going to be a doosy of a day. I do hope you manage to get some sort of respite and are able to find a bit of quiet time to yourself somehow. Acknowledging that you can take a break from the not urgent things is a good start. I will miss you, but I wish you well.
    Carmel

    Cathy - just wanted to stop past and say how wonderful it was to meet you at the market in Thornbury! your baked goodies were a hit as they were just divine. I'm so sad to hear that your not well, it's so tough with little kids that i get it when you say that just don't understand all the time. mothers have a tendency to put themselves last, but please, look after yourself. All my love and best wishes to you xxx

    Take good care of yourself. Love your photos as always, my friend. xo Gigi

    hope you can find time to take it easy Cathie and let the world flow past for a while so you can just sit back and recover your equilibrium.

    it's a shame mum's don't get some more time on the sidelines, or a little "off season", or even annual leave - go go go is a pretty hard path to always be on.

    beautiful piccies as always - such lovely floating feeling coming from them.

    I'm with Kate - pilates - and if you can find a Bowen Therapist - ooooh they are gooood !

    Oh Cathie, poor love, poor you. I feel for you, I really do. Wish I could recommend some really good cure all? all I could suggest which you may have already tried is a check up by an oesteopath? make sure your all in alignment?
    I know you have tried tea and cake too. Poor love. Huuugs. xxx

    hi Cathie so sorry to hear of your suffering and hope you have a restful bloggy break. I know of the fuzzy head I call it foggy brain. I suffer from very badly from headache and migraine as part of my Lupus, but have had them all my adult life too. One of the first symptoms I had before really getting a diagnosis was a foggy head/headache usually in the mornings as well as chronic fatigue most days, the only thing that would help was panadiene forte it took away the pain but cleared the fog like nothing else could. If this sounds like you and you want to ask anything else PLEASE feel free to email me I am happy to "chat" xx

    You poor girl! And to top it off your camera needing to be serviced.

    I'm so sorry about your headaches. I have allergies to products made with chemicals (ie: perfume, scented lotions, cleaning products, etc.) that puts me into a fog and gives me a horrible headache. Not fun!

    I wish for you health and happiness Cathie!

    Migraines are just awful Cathie. I hate that haze - used to suffer a bit myself, but not on a daily level.

    How long have these been going on?

Honey Jumbles

I just realised that I have been using honey and spices in alot of things lately, I guess it's because it's winter and the smells and tastes make you feel warm and sweet. Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish. Honey Jumbles ingredients 90g butter 3/4 cup honey 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons mixed spice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons milk   icing 1 egg white 1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted vanilla extract  strawberry paste Method Place butter and honey in a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil over a low heat. Simmer for a few minutes, then allow to cool for about 15 minutes Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices and add to butter mixture, gently stir in milk.  A...

Berrylicious ice cream recipe and a giveaway for you

As the weather warms up the kids tend to ask for something cold and yummy to enjoy after school. Reading the ingredients labels on ice cream I feel at a loss trying to figure out what all those numbers mean, I mean really, it’s just ice cream, how many ingredients need to be in there after all. I love to try and make everything from scratch so why not ice cream, well I had a go and using an ice cream maker made it really quick and easy. Here’s a basic recipe I made using a Cusinart ice cream maker Berrylicious ice cream Makes 1 litre Ingredients     ¾ cup whole milk   ½ cup sugar or honey if you prefer 1½ cups cream 150grams mixed berries, thawed and slightly mashed with a fork Method U sing a mixer or hand whisk, mix milk and sugar in a bowl for a few minutes until sugar has dissolved   Add cream and mix until combined Turn the machine on and pour the mixture into freezer bowl, and let it mix until thickened, about 25 minut...
