The Saga of the Repeat Test
I have coffee, I am calm… Two weeks ago, after work, in the evening, I toddled along to the doctor to get the blood test results, and he told me a repeat of part of the test was needed, and to book an appointment for a months time. The lovely lady at reception asked me to call [...]
‘s not fair!!
Mental and emotional energy have returned, along with motivation, and enthusiasm… Physical energy has plummeted to rock bottom, however, and I am horribly suspicious that by morning I will have a ricochetting temperature, and achy all over symptoms. I’ve hints of both now. Alas, this occasionally happens after a period of emotional stress – that [...]
Battening down the Hatches
Temperature was messing about, body aching, sheer bone-deep tiredness not shaken off for days, so what did I do all day yesterday? That’s right, I was foolish and worked. Physically hard, all day. Today, I have paid the penalty, been off work, and have cancelled tomorrow’s activities, just to be on the safe side. I [...]
The Stats Game
Those dear people who’ve landed up here as a result of the search engines, looking for answers to the phase they, or others, are going through, I can only sympathise. I have no advice on whether or not you should go barefoot when visiting a sock wearing boyfriend. It’s one of those things you are [...]
Most Bizarre Christmas for quite a number of years
Midnight Mass was not, as predicted, graced with my presence… it was a mistake to go on Christmas Morning. “Peace be with you” I muttered incoherently to the priest, as I was aiming to get back to the organ, from the pulpit where I’d just done the intercessions I’d completely forgotten I’d said I’d do, [...]
Apologies if you think your statistics have gone haywire
but as I’m confined to my room, and mostly to the horizontal, with no new books to read, various Wiblogs are the reading matter of choice! It’s fascinating reading a whole blog from start to finish. In stages between the frequent naps…. Am not going to Midnight Mass, which will be the first time in [...]
Fifty Three
Yesterday’s significant number. I played, or sang Fifty Three Carols. Several of them several times. I’m not even attempting to add up the weeks quota. It was Too Many. Today I have a return of the nasty all-over achy and hot ears and sore throat and lethargic lurgy. I have sat still, or laid down [...]
Conceding defeat
It would appear, after proper investigation, I have been indulging in the ‘flu. It confused me, because I’ve not had obvious cold-type symptoms but I will continue to feel grotty for a while to come… Not, as I was beginning to suspect to myself, some kind of self-induced illness to avoid the excessive Advent/Christmas activities [...]
This is all very well, but…
I’m getting bored now. Whatever bug this is that is lingering in my system can pack it’s bags and go away. You have overstayed your welcome by about five days. I’ve had several attempts at doing some work, but have been so woolly headed, I’m only going to have to re-do it. Reading is restricted [...]
Don’t do early…
except when I’ve flaked at at the unreasonably early evening hour of 8.30 p.m.. Not that I’m really awake, but I’m all over achy enough at a lowish level not to want to add back ache from being in bed for more than ten hours. I think I just have to accept this whatever it [...]
