Morning All!
It's MONDAY 2024 Week 31
Yesterday: At maximum I got 3 1/2 hours sleep. How I made it through church as functionally as I did was a miracle.
SEVEN AND A HALF HOURS SLEEP! Thank you Lord and all who prayed.
Today: J off to Newday for the week with the church. I'm leading 8am and 10am and then disapearing to Chiseldon to dog sit with Liz for a few days.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT, tummy and Head cope OK. Pray I sleep well tonight, getting off to sleep promptly. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Sleep is good! I slept pretty well last night as well - went to bed fairly late because it was rather warm in the flat. But as I'm working from home today I didn't have to get up quite so early. Woke up at 6:20 ish, before the alarm that was set for 06:30. Haven't done that in a while.
Feel much cheerier this morning than I did at the weekend. I'd like to say it was all due to the extra sleep, but an afternoon of watching Kamen Rider and Super Sentai has probably done wonders to lift my mood too.
Enjoy Chiseldon and the dog-sitting Phil!

A new week dawns! This one's shaping up to be a busy one, but the week before a holiday always seems the busiest.

Morning All!
It's Tuesday
Yesterday: Morning went well, and got safely to where I'm staying for a few days. Interesting trying to function in someone else's house without adaptions and tweaks we have at home - how can you have a bath tub that inaccessible? Step up into it, walled off down the side half way down and far too narrow at the non tap end! J safely at Newday.
Today: I have no idea! Think there's some of the weekend reveals going up for order this evening
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT, tummy and Head cope OK. Pray I sleep well tonight, getting off to sleep promptly. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Morning All!
It's Thursday
Yesterday: Nice quiet day, two walks out with the dog we're sitting with me in the chair....
... then at 10:30 the world went radio rental with a load of new book releases going up on PRH inc unnanounced Epics and Omnibuses. I was up till 1 dealing with the epic side of that nd when don got up out the chair, keel over and smashed the back of my head against a wall. That, and the heat, kept me awake till 3 and I overslept this morning.
Today: Written off. L has gone to Marlborough by herself, I didn't feel up to going. Sensible choice but :-(

Overslept myself this morning. Well, technically I woke up early, on time, and late. 3am, 5:55am and 08:06am respectively. Unfortunately that 08:06 was 6 minutes after I intended to be on campus... Then when I got there I realised that the COVID tests I had ordered for pre and post TFN were indeed being delivered to Boots, but not the Boots in the centre of town where I could pick them up on my way back from work, but to the other Boots nearer to home - which I could not get to from Campus before closing time (Late night shopping is only done by the one in the town centre, not the two on the outskirts).
This was the sequel to Tuesday's ordering of facemasks, where I forgot that what I was ordering was 2 packs of 20 and ordered "quantity 2" and thus received 2 sets of 2 packs of 20...for 80 instead of 40, and at twice the price.
Apparently this week I R Smart, S.M.R.T as Homer Simpson put it...
Ah well. I can get to the nearer Boots by about 4:30 tomorrow once I finish work, so I can pick up the tests then.

Today was extremely warm... But I managed to not only get out to Boots to pick up my tests, but also got myself some much needed new luggage from the Air Ambulance charity shop, and a new hat to protect my head from the unblinking wrath of Helios... And I managed to get back alive before slumping down in the heat.
Rather hoping that next week will be a little less warm than this week though. It would be nice...

We have all arrived down south for a few days of holiday. N's current run of 6am wake ups upgraded to 5.30am this morning... She did not nap in the car on the long, roadworks, traffic accident plagued seven hour journey down yesterday. Mrs M and I are frazzled. N is in full bouncing mode.
A workshop and a talk to give at a youth event this afternoon and then I will be free to enjoy the holiday. Nothing big in the diary for a few of weeks after that too. Then N starts school, another talk and I'll be back in hospital for a small op. That'll be a week.
