I've just been to the dentist. I haven't been for 10 years 🤦🏼♀️. Not sure exactly how that happened 🤷🏼♀️. Oh yeah, I'm not in pain, so I don't need to go, right? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
But, I have absolutely nothing wrong with my teeth 🤣 the guys face when I said it had been 10 years 🤣. He said this could go either way!!! Tbh I knew which way it would go. I am very intune with my body, I knew all was fine.
Tomorrow my horses have the dentist. I have a feeling they will not escape so easily. I think my youngster has caps that are moving about and causing him some discomfort. I noticed last week so got him booked in straight away. No waiting for the horses.
My dentist tried to get me to book another appointment in a years time and I was like ... Yeah I don't know what I am doing this time next year. I'll give you a call 😬
Why do we do this? Why do we back burner ourselves but when it's the animals or our family we are lightening fast to get an appointment and a solution 🤔.
We really shouldn't put our own self care at the bottom of the pile. Ok, mine wasn't exactly exciting - the dentist , but a nurse told me that dentists actually pick up the majority of mouth and throat cancers. She told me I should go!!!!
Looking after our families and animals takes a lot out of us. We need to be on top of our game to keep providing that service and level of care to everyone else around us and becoming ill because we just didn't value ourselves highly enough, is not good.
It's been a long, wet winter and everyone I speak to is sick of it. They are sick of mucking out, filling and soaking haynets, wrestling with wet ,heavy rugs. Sick to death of their wellies leaking - it appears nobody can make wellies that don't leak anymore. They are fed up of permanently having dirt in the creases of the skin of their hands. They are sick to death of wet dogs that shake in their houses spraying mud everywhere.
Seriously guys if you feel that you need to do something that benefits you and your state of mind, jolly well do it. Have that massage. Have that facial. Have that night away. You deserve it. Stop putting yourself on the back burner.
