Well, I am truly gobsmacked, for the first time in months I have slept in!! I didn't surface till 1p.m.!! Can't believe that I managed to sleep for so long! Yesterday I think was the 'Brick Wall' syndrome, the one where you know you are so exhausted you cannot do anything but sleep! So off to bed I went about midnight (ish) and took an Amitriptyline, and I slept really well! Feel so much better for it today, although my hands are extremely painful, and I have put cream on them and massaged them this afternoon to get them moving! My back is also painful, but that is probably from lying in bed so long! Have just spoken to my eldest son Aaron on Facebook, and he is still full of cold! He is back to work (school) on Tuesday and I just hope he will be better, because there are concerns that when the youngsters all return to school the flu virus will spread even more! I just hope he will be ok!
Well I am going to get off here for now, will probably be back later, as I have to do some tidying up today! Didn't do a thing yesterday, so must do it today!! While I have this kind of energy, I have to make the most of it!!! Every day is different and tomorrow might not be as good!!!
Well, it is now 1.30 a.m. Monday 3rd January and I have had a really good day! We decided to go out and eat last night, tried the Harvester but they had run out of more food than they had left so moved on to Frankie and Bennys. Had a nice meal and then came home about 9.30! Watched the Expendables again.
Since then have caught up with a few things on Sky +, in particular the Diversity show which was brilliant!
The only downside of today has been the pain in my hands, they have hurt so much I couldn't even pick up my glass of wine - now that really is worrying!!!!! But on a more serious note, my fingers were so swollen that the dress ring I always wear (bought for me by my wonderful, fabulous, gorgeous mum) did not fit me, which always is the sign to me that things are bad! I had a few tears when I couldn't get it past my knuckle, because when I go out I always like to wear something my mum bought for me, because then she is always with me! She passed away in February 2008, very suddenly, from pneumonia! Although she was nearly 82, she was a very healthy lady, until she got what we thought was just a cold!! Sadly it was more than that, and there are so many 'what ifs' about her death that I have to put them out of my mind, otherwise I would never live with her death, and that is something I have struggled with since then! I looked after her for 17 years, since my dad passed, and although we had our ups and downs, she was my rock, and I miss her dearly!
Anyway, she is here with me always, and I am very like her, so she lives in on in many ways!!!!
Well, I am going to go now and take myself off to bed, hope I can sleep well again tonight, last day off for the chaps tomorrow, back to the grind for them on Tuesday, and time for us to start taking down the decorations, takes us about 3 days, we have so many!!! But I love them being up, just seems to make everything much more cheerful!!! Will put some pictures of our decs on here for you to see, then you will understand why it takes so long!!! But that will be another time, as now I am ready for sleep! Take care all, think that brick wall is about to hit again!!!!
