Keeping track (They saw the beaten, blood-stained flesh but kept)
I'm staying at my mother's and I don't have access to my book, so no depressing poetry for a while. :0)
Did I tidy my room? YES! I am sleeping in the living room, on a camp bed and I tidied it all away. I also cleared up after the gardening I did.
Did I go to bed early last night? NO! I had a nap at 6pm and then wanted to go to bed, but Children in Need was on and my sister's working late, so everyone was up until midnight watching television.
Did I take my nighttime anti-migraine pills? YES! I've been very good about these of late.
Did I do my dawn walk? NO! I woke up at full light.
What's the weather like? Cold, windy and wet.
Did I wash and get dressed in nice clothes? NO! I got dressed in gardening clothes, since I was going to be gardening all day. I am still wearing them, but I plan to have a bath soon.
Did I do relaxation after breakfast? YES! My mum is not impressed with my favourite relaxation video.
Did I go out somewhere else too? YES! I've decided that the garden counts as 'out' when I am out in it for hours. I've been out a lot this week, first coming to Nottingham, then going around town shopping, and visiting my middle sister and niece.
Did I cook? NO! I've been waited on hand and foot! Apparently they *really wanted* this garden makeover I am doing. Oh, wait, I did porridge for breakfast, that counts, yes?
Did I take my post-breakfast anti-migraine pills? YES!
Did I do anything energetic? YES! Indeedy. I cleared more nettles and overgrowth. I collapsed a chest of drawers FULL OF GREAT BIG SPIDERS THAT WERE LARGE and bagged it (after suitable pauses and attacking it with a brush). I made a cane fence to put up tomorrow, all tied with string. I picked up litter.
Did I use my brain? YES! I learned about the history of Senegal because it was on my mind.
Happy things: I love my family and they love me; they've apparently been saying how nice it was to have me down. I am sure not all of it is down to the gardening I am doing. I also helped my mum with some job-search related stuff that was bothering her. The garden looks markedly different to this morning. I am going to have a bath.
HEALTH
Did I take painkillers? YES! Cocodamol last night and this morning.
Did I have a migraine? YES! It was bothering me very much this morning and making the gardening absolutely miserable. Hence, drugs.
Do I feel MEish? YES! I got slightly wobbly legged. I've been crashing utterly at 6pm, sleeping until 8pm and then sleeping from 10pm-7am most nights, and I seem to be fine. Most of my pain is actually stiff muscles (not ME) rather than fluey aches (ME).
How are my sinuses? Cruddy but not too bad.
Did I sleep well? YES! Once I got off to sleep, I was dead to the world.
PLANS
More gardening:
Clear the chipboard along the back fence.
Fasten the fence I made in place and add more to it.
Clear a bit more litter and undergrowth.
Dig a trench and start transplanting the hedge.
Help my mum with job-related matters.
