Keeping track (Grovelled in the dust, clawed at his pampered skin,)

[supermouse]

Did I tidy my room? YES! I emptied the bin. I am trying to get rid of paper clutter. I thought my 'box of important papers' was organised, so I was surprised to open it and find it full, and that actually I haven't sorted any of it for months. So now I have, and I can start going through the pile on the desk. I even stopped *before* it triggered a migraine; thanks to all that morning studying I know when to stop doing brainwork. Going through my paperwork has been added to my weekly routine.

Did I go to bed early last night? NO! I stayed up late on the computer. I am going to set my alarm again, I think. I get good about going to bed on time and then end up slipping after a while. The annoying thing is that I actually *want* to go to bed early, at the time even, I just get distracted or can't make myself do it. Anyway, when I did go to bed, I couldn't sleep and stayed up very late reading.

Did I take my nighttime anti-migraine pills? NO! I forgot.

Did I do my dawn walk? NO! I wasn't awake on time.

What's the weather like? A misty moisty morning and oddly warm. I quite enjoyed the damp greyness of it all.

Did I wash and get dressed in nice clothes? YES! Pol admired my new white blouse. I wore the jingly necklace. I've just washed all my red jumpers, so I'll be wearing the spoons necklace instead.

Did I do relaxation after breakfast? NO! I don't remember doing so.

Did I go out somewhere else too? YES! I had two errands on my list and I did them both before lunch.

Did I cook? YES! Porridge with tropical fruit and nut mix and cinnamon. No added sugar other than what is in the fruit, and it really didn't need it either. I reheated Sessifet's Turban Squash Soup for lunch and I have oxtail soup I made yesterday heating right now, and I've just eaten a fresh avacado, cut it in half and ate it with a spoon.

Did I take my post-breakfast anti-migraine pills? YES! Very late, but yes.

Did I do anything energetic? YES! I loaded the dishwasher and set it running, I wiped the kitchen sides and I emptied the kitchen bin and my own bathroom bin.

Did I use my brain? YES! I did my OU course and had spoons to spare, so I sorted some paperwork.

Happy things: Paperwork mountain now looks surmountable. Nummy soup was nummy and people were nice to me when I did a distressed post about my brain distorting perceived reality. I keep going through 'these are *really* cool people and they like me!' wibbles. I have worked out some ways to be less snappy and judgemental, which will help with feeling like a horrible person if I know I am not *acting* like a horrible person. Moth is, as ever, adorable. Pol was huggy.

HEALTH

Did I take painkillers? YES! I had a dose of cocodamol last night. Tramadol tonight, even though I feel fine. (Also, I am writing my doses on the calendar from now on because it's supposed to be one every three days atm and I lose track)

Did I have a migraine? YES! However, at the moment what I mostly have is a hunger-and-tension headache which is threatening to become a migraine, so I shall finish eating and do some relaxation. And then take drugs anyway.

Do I feel MEish? NO! I seem to be keeping to the right side of the 70%.

How are my sinuses? Cruddy, blocked and awful. I haven't washed them out for days and I can tell. There's definitely something chronic going on there.

Did I sleep well? YES! Once I did get to sleep, I had no dreams and was woken up by the radio alarm.

PLANS

Religious studies.

Catch up with any Gmail I have.

If I am awake in time, make an appointment with the doctor.

If I have the energy, go to the vet and get Moth her drugs after lunch.

Horwich Art Society at 7pm-9pm just down the road, and if I can drag anyone from the house along, I will do.
