I swear that I have sleeping sickness as I have felt so drowsy and lethargic all day, well for the last few days actually.
When the alarm went off at 8.30am I just kept resetting it as I had real problems keeping my eyes open and kept drifting back off to sleep. I thought a bath would help wake me up, but I fell asleep in that too!
My throat is still scratchy, but that's probably my fault because as soon as it stops feeling so scratchy, I stop putting the gel on my tongue. But that gel really unsettles my stomach when I swallow it and if it goes on your tongue, you're going to swallow it aren't you.
I don't think I've done very well on my diet this week either. Not because I've been cheating, but just because I've felt nauseous and bloated all week.
Ann thinks there is something going around at the moment, as we've both felt yucky and you can't really put your finger on why you feel so yuck either.
This week I've got to get down to making sure all my affairs are in order before Friday in case I go active.
I have letters to update in case things go horribly wrong and that I'll fall into the category of the 45% who don't reach the five year mark or worse in the 15% to snuff it in the first year.
I also really need to sort out getting a will made up, although I've got sod all to leave, mind you Julie has requested my silver Turkish lamps!
But I hate form filling and I already have a pile sitting on my dining room table to do for my mother for the benefit people whom I meeting on Thursday and I have to take mother to get a photo taken for her blue badge renewal form.
I have a habit of delaying jobs that I don't want to do and official paperwork is top of the hate list for me. I need a PA!
Even another beautiful day down at Maldon didn't help distract me as much today. I did think about taking it all with me to do in the car, but it's hard to concentrate when mother is battling with a prawn mayo baguette next to you.
I had a walk along the prom to blow away the cobwebs and it was lovely, but between wanting to fall asleep every five minutes and feeling a failure because I really knew I should be doing some constructive form filling, I needed a very strong gale to deal with that lot of cobwebs!
It didn't get much better when I got home. I did get the paperwork out ready and read through it all again, but then I fell asleep and I kind of lost the incentive to do it.
I know that I will lay in bed awake for hours tonight, because I'll be worrying about it and cursing my stupidity for putting it off, plus I have a busy week ahead with hospital etc.
I'm talking a load of rubbish today aren't I? I must try better will be my motto of the week.
Lots of love Debbie x
About Me
- Me...Debbie Burden... or known as Burders
- I'll be 55 this August... I've had bronchiectasis for ten years plus this year... End stage lung disease for the past year...been on oxygen for three years... and have I got used to it yet?... nah! I am now waiting for the biggie; a double lung and maybe a heart transplant. I love my life weirdly enough, because I have some wonderful family and friends who are with me every step of the way on my adventures, even though I embarrass them on a daily basis with my unorthodox way of looking at life. Not for the faint hearted!
