Keeping track (This space intentionally left blank.)
Happy Thing(s): I saw a digger on the farm on the hill today. I love seeing the farm live. It's a sheep farm, so no local produce from them, really. I had a good evening last night, watching Jeeves and Wooster with Random, after a nice day shopping and having tea-and-scones with Sessifet. Finishing up with a cuddle with Pol was the icing on the cake, really. I have the fluffiest socks in the world, because Sessifet insisted we go back to the shop to get me a pair. I love them. I want more like them.
Did I tidy my room? YES! It could really use a hoover, which means really I have to dig it out and go and get the damned bags. Teeth-cleaning tomorrow, so I should be able to pootle down and get some more after that.
Did I go to bed early last night? YES! I went to bed on time and slept.
Did I take my nighttime anti-migraine pills? YES! I was so good.
Did I do night time relaxation? YES! Not for long because ZZzzZZzz
Did I do my dawn walk? NO! I was actually awake in time for dawn, but I felt crappy and didn't want to. The best I did was to open the blinds to let daylight in.
What's the weather like? Windy and bright. Lots of birds being blown about.
Did I wash and get dressed in nice clothes? YES! I am fragrant in the good way and wearing a Gophers In Black t-shirt.
Did I do relaxation after breakfast? YES! A little pause for breath and letting the muscles go.
Did I go out somewhere else too? NO! Today was a bad day, very much spent with my head between two pillows. Outside is just too bright and windy.
Did I cook? YES! Chicken thighs, some roast with honey and almonds, some with paprika. Yesterday I sliced fennels and used a veg-peeler to make carrot ribbons, added flaked almonds, put the mix onto foil, sprinkled it with black pepper (would use white next time) and a little honey, topped it with some zest from a lemon (no juice!) and put a fillet of trout on top, skin side up. I nearly but not quite covered the trout with foil, so some of the skin was exposed, then I baked it at about 200/gas mark 6 or so for not all that long - until it smelled cooked. It was delicious. Really, really, really nice.
Did I take my noon anti-migraine pills? NO! I overslept while sleeping off the migraine and missed my chance.
Did I do anything energetic? YES! I emptied the bin and cleaned the outside of it, cleaned the cat feeding area, the sides and the cooker and cupboard shelves, loaded and unloaded the dishwasher, put pots away, cleaned the sink.
HEALTH
Did I take painkillers? YES! Tramadol last night, cocodamol today and this morning.
Did I have a migraine? YES! A real eye-crushing head-thumper that laid me low all day long. Moving is still very painful now.
Do I feel MEish? YES! A bit. Armpits are sore.
How are my sinuses? Cruddy and swollen. I can't snort salt water easily, even.
Did I sleep well? YES! I did wake early though, and was glad to sleep off the migraine from 8:30am to 4pm, interrupted by a phone call from the dentist asking where I was.
PLANS
Dental appointment, hoover bags, library books.
