Tomorrow is mine and Dizzy’s birthday! I would love to say we’re doing exciting things for it but we’re having another MS relapse (second one in a year…). 🙁 So our exciting adventure tomorrow will be visiting the doctors for steroids!
As it’s our birthday week and we’re feeling abit sorry for ourselves, we have made a list of our top 7 happy things to do at home!
- Films – Watching really good films that you can get completely get lost in. Our favourite is Lord of the Rings, especially the ending of the Fellowship. It’s not really happy but it always leaves us feeling hopeful about things. Dizzy does moan about the lack of donkeys though. She’s convinced a donkey could have taken the ring to Mordor. 🙂

Even if we’re feeling too sleepy for a long film, short films are also perfect! We love Lava. Even though the song is then stuck in our head for the rest of the day. 🙂
2. Food – We love our food! (This is Dizzy’s favourite one!) If we’re feeling rubbish stuffing ourselves on yummy food always manages to help.
3. Photography – Me and Dizzy love pottering around and taking our photos. Even though we’re not well enough to go far we enjoy venturing round the house and garden. 🙂
4. Cute animal photos – They just make us feel happy. 🙂
5. People – Having a chat with someone is always lovely. Whether it’s actually getting to see them, just have a quick chat on the phone, or chatting with our online friends. 🙂
6. Cuddles – We love our cuddles! Either from my boyfriend, or if he’s not here from Brock. 🙂
7. Sleep – Because sleep is just amazing! 🙂 And the only thing that manages to help make us feel abit better.
What are your happy things to do when you’re at home not feeling well? Are any of yours the same as ours? 🙂 xxx
Happy almost birthday!!🎉🎈 Mine was last Tuesday and I celebrated from my bed. I’m sorry you’re in a flare…hopefully you can celebrate out a bit when things are on the upswing.
Nice list!! I love watching cute animal videos for a heartwarming smile. And animal rescue stories, although those make me teary😬 Hoping you two have a heartwarming day tomorrow!!
Thank you! I think my birthday will be the same (except the trip to the doctors of course 🙂 ) I hope you’re feeling abit better than you were.
The videos are so wonderful to watch too. But I’m the same. I don’t want any sad stories when not feeling well. Just the happy animal ones or animals doing cute things! 🙂 xxx
Aww loved this!! Those brownies Dizzy ate looked so tasty – I’m jealous! Lol. I love to watch movies too when I’m relapsing, especially in bed! X
The brownies are good! Dizzy got that batch but I made some more without her knowing the next day! That’s what I’ve been doing. Recently got Netflix aswell which is perfect for watching in bed. 🙂 xxx
Talking to you! xxxx
🙂 xxxx
Just William books. Plenty of sunshine and sleep. Xx
Sunshine and sleep are definitely the best medicine. The suns been out today too. 🙂 Hope you’re having a good week. xxx
Happy Birthday
Thank you Bob! xxx
Love this list! The same things would be on mine, along with cups of tea and a good book (something really easy when I’m not feeling well and can’t concentrate!) Hope you start to feel a bit better soon x
I love easy reading too! It’s abit tricky at the moment with the dizziness but once it’s subsided abit I’ll be getting out the books again. 🙂 Hope your weeks going ok. 🙂 xxx
How’s the dizziness today? Hope the steroids are helping? xx
Still very dizzy but on day 2 of the steroids! Hopefully will notice a difference soon. 😊xxx
Oh no! I hope you and Dizzy feel better soon. Btw, I love that gif of Dizzy eating all the fudge 🙂
Thank you Angela! 🙂 xxx
Love your animals and dunkies . Soooo darn cute
Aww, thank you. 🙂 xxx
Happy Birthday you two beautiful little things 🙂 Hope your both doing ok xxxx
When i’m home alone and poorly i drink copious amounts of tea! Oh and a hot water bottle, can’t beat them 🙂 xxx
Thank you so much! We are just resting lots and looking after ourselves. Dizzy’s using the time to eat lots! 🙂
Hot water bottles are so comforting. I’ve just got a wheat bag that came today too. It has scotty dogs on it. 🙂 xxx
A wheat bag? I’m not sure what that is….
Hope you guys get back on track soon, there’s nothing worse than feeling poorly! xxx
Its just a little bag that you put round your shoulders that you can heat up in the microwave or pop in the freezer to turn into a cool bag. I used it for the first time today and it was quite nice!
And thank you. I’m sure we will start feeling abit better soon. 🙂 xxx
Oh I do know them! They are super handy to have!! My mom now has ones she can put in the microwave!! Instant pick me ups for sure!! With winter around the corner i’ll have to keep an eye out for these!!
Also…. Did you see how dark it got this evening… before 8 o’clock!! Winter is defiantly coming 🙁 xxx
It is rather nice and cosy! Mine was only £7 so not to pricey either. 🙂
I was thinking that too. Winter is coming. It’s not as warm now either. How was your weekend? xxx
Bargin!!!! I do love a bargin I do 🙂 It defo is not!! I have a head cold! In AUGUST!!! How that happened i’ll never know 🙂
Great weekend, spent it in Hull with my little sister and brother, was fab! How are you getting on my sweet? xx
Lol, I love a bargain too! 🙂 You’re the third person this week I’ve spoken to that has a cold. It’s mad but then it does look like Autumn outside!
That sounds a lovely weekend. Still just resting but last day of steroids today! Hoping to start abit better soon! 🙂 xxx
Yuck, I’m not ready to hang up my summer clothes yet!!!! Getting over it slowly but it still mega sucks!
So happy to hear your feeling better!! It’s so important to look after yourself… even if its sometimes the last thing you think off!! Any plans for the long weekend?? xxx
Just resting plans. I’m suppose to be starting a new job at the end of next week so hoping if I keep resting I’ll be able to start when I should! 🙂
How about you? Have you got any plans for the bank holiday weekend? xxx
Hope you and Dizzy feel better soon ☹️
Thank you! Hopefully the steroids will help shift it abit quicker. 🙂 xxx
Those reasons sound amazing to me!
I can watch LOTR back-to-back-to-back…on repeat! Sometimes I’ll add a couple of showings of Phantom of the Opera! 😀😀😀
So sorry about thr relapse – I can relate.
Sending you and Dizzy gentle hugs and mega-good wishes for you to feel better sooner than later.
Enjoy your day, tomorrow – Happy Birthday! 💜💜💜
I can do that with LOTR’s aswell. I just love it so much. 🙂 The music in Phantom of the Opera is amazing too!
Thank you, we shall just be resting and watching nice stuff today. 🙂 xxx
Happy Birthday to both of you!! I hope you have a wonderful day despite the relapse. Take good care of the both of you. ❤️🎂
Weather permitting, I like to sit on my patio with my camera, and photograph the birds, animals and sky surrounding me. It’s so relaxing.
That’s a wonderful thing to do. I love watching and taking photos of the animals outside. 🙂 We might do that later. 🙂 xxx
Have fun! Enjoy the outdoors 🙂
Happy Birthday Dizzy. Wishing you health and joy.
I read, watch movies, and inhale CHOCOLATE!
If I’m working, retail therapy!
Suze
Thank you!! 🙂 Chocolate and retail therapy are definitely good ones too. I’m wondering whether to do abit of both of them today. 🙂 xxx
Happy, happy, happy birthday to both of you. I’m glad to see you and Dizzy have so many friends to cuddle and keep you company.
Thank you! We do. And after the doctors will just have a nice restful day. 🙂 xxx
Happy Birthday to you and to Dizzy! I hope the relapse will pass on it’s way soon. I loved seeing Dizzy with his friends.
Thank you Anne! They all took over the camera yesterday. 🙂 xxx
I hope you both have a very Happy Birthday!!!!!!
Thank you. 🙂 xxx
Happy Birthday to you both!! I hope the relapse does not last long. When I don’t feel good, I either curl up and watch movies or read a good book 🙂
Thank you. Curling up with a good film or book is always a brilliant one. I’m going to be doing that most of the day! 🙂 xxx
don’t blame you…enjoy
🙂 xxx
Pictures are cute. I like all the donkeys especially. Happy Birthday and feel better! ; )
Thank you! 🙂 xxx
Happy birthday to both of you and I warmly wish you good health, happiness and blessings for the year! May you have a fantastic celebration with family and friends! Give Dizzy a hug from my inanimate furball Garfield and I ha ha! From one inanimate furball to another!
Thank you so much! 🙂 I have given Dizzy a hug from Garfield! 🙂 xxx
Thank you😊
Definitely watching LOTR, and then reading or crafting. 🙂
LOTR’s is just amazing! 🙂 xxx
I hope you are both feeling a lot better soon- happy birthday hugs!! I love the pictures- espeically the donkey with the boot hehe 😉 Lava is the best short film!! <3 xx
That was taken at the donkey sanctuary! 🙂 You might have met the same donkey. 🙂 I love Lava. I remember seeing it at the beginning of Inside Out, I liked it but Lava I loved! xxx
Cuddles with Brock, snuggling in bed and watching films sounds like a good not-well day. As I sadly don’t have a dog or partner for cuddles, and a cat who decides when he wants them (not often!) I tend to settle for a cuppa tea and a book! Sending hugs your way, wishing you all the best with the injections and, of course, Birthday wishes for you and Dizzy! ♥
Caz xx
A nice cozy blanket can work well too. 🙂
Thank you and hope you’re having a good day. 🙂 xxx
I hope you and Dizzy have a good birthday and that your flare up goes away really fast! I really enjoy my time at home with my sweet cats that do love to cuddle especially when they know I do not feel well! Animals are amazing and have a good sense of what is going on:)! i also enjoy reading and writing!!! You and Dizzy take care and enjoy your birthday as much as you can!!
Thank you. Me too but we are getting lots of rest. 🙂 Animals really are. They always manage to cheer you up just by being there. I hope your pain is abit better now. xxx
Happy birthday to you both! I hope you’re able to enjoy your day despite the relapse.
Thank you Terri. 🙂 xxx
You’re very welcome!
Happy birthday! 🎂🎂🎂🎉🎉🎉😘😘😘. I agree with movies, food and sleep! I really like to read as well! And do jigzaw puzzles!
Thank you. 🙂 I love puzzles! Am half way through one at the moment. xxx
I’m so sorry I missed your birthdays! And I’m sorry about your relapse. But you’re definitely right about movies, food, and cuddles! Brock looks like he’s an excellent cuddle pal!
Brock is. He also keeps me company when I’m stuck in bed too which is so nice! Hope you’ve had a good weekend. 🙂 xxx
It was very nice. I hope you improve soon.
Thank you. 🙂 xxx
