Keeping track (He cried: 'Dear heart and soul, your shameful death')

[supermouse]

Did I tidy my room? YES! I made enough noise tidying before bed last night, trying to heave my aching and reluctant body about that Sessifet got alarmed and came to see if I was alright. I was fine, just very, very stiff from everything I did.

Did I go to bed early last night? YES! I had been going to read but I was tired and zedded at about ten-thirty.

Did I take my nighttime anti-migraine pills? YES!

Did I do my dawn walk? YES! I woke up at 4am for no reason I can tell and went out at 6:33. I don't think I caught the blue light I really need, so I will have to have another go soon. Still, my mood is quite chipper.

What's the weather like? Cool and damp, cloudy, almost dark.

Did I wash and get dressed in nice clothes? YES! My *second* pair of new-trousers-that-fit!

Did I do relaxation after breakfast? YES! At least, after my first breakfast I did, and ended up sleeping another five hours.

Did I go out somewhere else too? YES! Ramdno took me to see Julia and it was a nice visit. Ruth was there too. We had homemade chelsea buns but did not stay to watch a film. I picked up a lot of Professionals novels, with all the smouldering looks that Bodie gives Doyle (I am not exaggerating, the subtext is only barely sub at points. Ah, more innocent times...)

Did I cook? YES! I had frikadellen bought from Aldi, and fried sliced russet apple with brown sugar, and had them both with carrots julienne. Quite nice, but the apples needed longer and the frikadellen would actually have been nicer cold.

Did I take my noon anti-migraine pills? NO! I forgot. This is just as well, as I didn't go to the pharmacy like I was meant to, so I now have one dose of propranolol for tomorrow and will have to get drugs before Monday lunchtime.

Did I do anything energetic? YES! I did *no* housework at all, unless switching on the dishwasher counts. I walked quite a lot on my dawn walk though, being out for a good twenty minutes or so, pottering about the field and the nascent woodland.

Did I use my brain? NO! I did sit down to read A Broken Flute with my second breakfast at 4pm (the frikadellen and apple), but I couldn't focus enough to write down cogent thoughts about what I was reading. Since my 'intelligent attention' time is so very limited, the next time I sit down with the book is likely to be next Saturday morning. Still, slowly or not, it will be read, absorbed and inwardly digested. It's a heartbreaking read, but really worth it IMHRO.

HEALTH

Did I take painkillers? YES! Cocodamol last night, in cherry cordial (which makes it taste pleasant, so I don't do that often) and tramadol last night, which is why I can move at all today.

Did I have a migraine? YES! It was bothering me a lot during tonight's visit, but I don't think it showed.

Do I feel MEish? YES! Everything hurts, especially under my neck, and my glands are all up and palpable.

How are my sinuses? Cruddy and bleeding, and either I have a fullblown sinus infection or they're in M.E. hyperdrive fighting phantoms. I suspect the latter, even though Ramdno and Pol both have colds.

Did I sleep well? YES! Albeit in two chunks, which is not ideal. Six hours, then five.

PLANS

Back into my routine, since a day off seems to lead to me feeling at a loose end.

I have to find a taxi company that will take me to the vets and back on Tuesday at 9am.

I will try to do some embroidery after breakfast.

I still have to address my sister's parcel!

I have a grass stem that Moth will want to kill thoroughly.
