Today was my last day of real freedom as it’s back to school on Monday. I’m so cheesed off, my shoulder has been so bad today, it’s rendered my left arm useless from when I got up at 6am until 9pm when it suddenly ‘released’ . It’s the longest yet. It’s so debilitating.
I’m a real whiney mare tonight because of it. So will sign out.
Lots of love for now
