Morning All!
It's Monday - 2024 Week 41
Yesterday: Managed chuch but spasms during the service put me lying on the floor out the back :-( Made it out to lunch with friend, which was fab, but came home and slept three hours. Evening was a challenge: tired, broke a new toy and struggled with seeing how much is still to go in the loft vs how little space is left. Discovering the screen on my netbook had got broken at 11pm was not a good moment :-(
Today: Leading 8am and 10am. L has friend visiting. Hopefully a parcel due with some old Zoids in.
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.

We have the builders in today and tomorrow so I am off work so they can get on with things. I work from home but need phone access so couldn't do that.
Dismantled office and hobby room to give them space to work.
Head is not coping.

I have to go away everytime we have builders in and the disruption with things moving at the moment... So yeah. Can you take yourself out? |

Builders finished by mid-day for part 1 of the work. A Yodel delivery did not turn up so taking advantage of an unexpected free afternoon by popping out for a wander.
As the builders say they will also be done by tomorrow afternoon, booked for Return of the Jedi at the cinema afterwards.
A better use of the days off.

Get the office back in order, which helps my head a lot. Restoring the hobby room will be a longer term project. Boxes and tubs all over the place.

We had eight months of builders. They finished in February but we still have boxes of stuff everywhere and are still trying to finish decorating and fitting. We only got the kitchen done a couple of weeks ago.

Morning All!
It's Thursday
Yesterday: Exceptional, given just four hours sleep. Really good Prayer Meeting at 8am. Had a spark of energy after bath so got J to load the bits I needed into the van, drove down myself to the garage, got the shelves unloaded and installed and then loaded them with boxes from the garage. As a result the garage is much tidier and I have a VERY good idea of remaining capacity - four of the 32L storage tubs I've been using. I have at least one, possibly two, of those in the loft with DW figures and Daleks in. I also used a spare shelf to single stack my Wisdens, been on the To Do list for a while, which then gace me display space for my small wind up Zoids. Came back knackered but didn't sleep hugely on: Woke to find that the Epic & Omnibus I'd been after had gone up on Books Etc whie I was sleeping. Homegroup was disrupted a bit by Internet problems for several people and tryin to recall a password for someone who texted me.
Today: Food order due. L teaching: My netbook, which she uses to teach off cos it's the most powerful small computer with a webcam in the house, with it's broken screen is now wired to my spare monitor. L & I taking two friends out to lunch. J out tonight.
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.

Spoke to over 100 teenagers today across three workshops and a Q and A panel. Best question "Why did evolution make us ticklish?" I gave a short answer to that "To make us smile."

Trying to put the hobby room back together. Previously it was tidy with room to move. Now I can't get in the door. This makes no sense. It's the same stuff!!!

Morning All!
It's FRIDAY!!!!
Yesterday: Quieter day, bit of physical and mental struggle thanks to the pain. Nice trip out for lunch but wasn't anywhere near top form. Lots of toy packaging recycled.
Today: Really not good today: trouble standing, walking and coordinating. In a lot of pain, especially hips downward. No concentration, very short tempered and noise intolerance way up. Head is, somewhat understandably, struggling cos I have things I'd like to be doing. Internet playing sill BLEEPS first thng has not helped. L out this morning, J at college.
Pray Day improves, 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.

Covid booster and winter flu vaccines accessed after work. Surprisingly, I feel absolutely fine so far. No side effects this time!

Morning All!
It's SATURDAY!!!!
Yesterday: Ugh. Wiped out all day. Slept 2 hours in the morning, another two in the afternoon. Very tired, achy and poor balance all day, difficulty thinking straight and concentrating. Think I must have picked something up. Was at best in evening but still nowhere close to good.
Today: See how we feel. Meant to be seeing Builder with Liz but I think that's unlikely. TMUK Zoom tonight, not sure I'll be on long.
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.

They did, and I went straight to bed.
I'll take a day or of feeling awful rather than hospital or death so complaints from me re: vaccines.
