Monday was a good day, woke up feeling quite good and ready for a day in work. I was quite busy and got loads done, which made me feel good too.Went to see a friend after work which was nice, had my nap, got up, had some pasta with pesto and cheese, a meal which my daughter Katie introduced me to a couple of months ago when I stayed at hers for a few days. I played a few turns at scrabble on facebook and then went to bed because I had a busy day planned for Tuesday.
Tuesday I got up at 7.00am as I had a hair appointment at 9.00am and it takes me roughly two hours to be ready to go out. I love being pampered, my hairdresser is brilliant, when she conditions my hair she gives me a head massage at the same time, its so relaxing and makes me feel better too.
Afterwards I went to Aberystwyth on the bus, taking my trolley as food was needed for the body shop party I was having Wednesday evening. First though I went for a coffee, to wake me up as I had virtually been asleep for most of the bus journey!. From the cafe I watched the people rushing about in and out of the shops, old people nearly getting knocked over as the ones rushing pushed in front of them.Eventually I felt ready to go and join in the race, at my own pace! I usually buy my clothes online because its easier for me now to do that, but I went into Matalan and bought some black ribbed tights, a skirt and a white blouse. Then I went to get the nibbles for the party... I love to nibble, I can graze for ages on dips, cheese straws, Doritos, nuts etc so I bought quite a bit.
On the bus back to Machynlleth I fell asleep again lol, it seemed a long walk from the bus stop to the flat. Once I got in I just put away what needed to go in the fridge, then got into bed, I really needed sleep. I slept for a couple of hours, woke with sore muscles in my legs and back. Just as I had put everything away Jon called in, he made me laugh, Sarah had given him her bodyshop order and the money but he had forgotten it, then he couldn't remember if he should be picking her up from work or not! He is lovely but his memory is awful, and he hasn't got M.E, but I do think he has brain fog!
I rubbed this supposedly wonder gel on my leg muscles, took my tablets and painkillers and went to bed, the wonder gel didn't work, I couldn't get comfortable. I got angry and upset, just trying to do something most people take for granted I end up in agony. I got up and tried rubbing my legs to see if that would ease it, had cups of tea, smoked cigarette's and cried.
By 2.00am the pain had eased so I went back to bed and slept till 7.00am.
Wednesday morning my legs were a lot better and I was excited about the party, I went to work, it was a quiet day, not many clients, some friends who couldn't make the party gave me orders,
so after I finished work I went and had a nap for two hours, I set my alarm to make sure I woke.
I put the nibbles out in the kitchen with the wine, pottered about tidying and then friends arrived.
We had a great time, food was eaten, wine drank, lots of stories were told and we all bought lots of pampering products. I did really well, when all the orders were in I had £125 worth of products for £30, so I treated myself and got some Christmas presents.
It finished about 10.45pm I just the left over food in the fridge and went to bed. It had been great, but I was shattered. Thankfully Thursday is a day off work for me.
Thursday I woke a 7.00am I hadn't been up in the night at all, actually I think I was in the same position as I had been when I went to bed! So I was stiff and so thirsty. After two cups of tea tablets and a cigarette it was back to bed. I went out like a light, it was 3.00pm when I woke again, another cup of tea and back to bed. I got up at 6.00pm, did some of the washing up from the party had some nibbles. By 9.00pm I was in bed for the night, I didn't wake at all till 7.00am, althougth I was really stiff and dripping with sweat, my brain woke up with out no brain fog! It felt great to wake up and feel awake!
Friday was very quiet in work, a colleague came back with me as we had to go back to work at 7.00pm for a meeting, we got to the flat had a cup of tea and both went to sleep! We had some nibbles and a glass of wine before we went to the meeting, think these nibbles will come in handy for me over the weekend. I got in about 9.00pm and felt like my brain had been frazzled, two hours of trying to concentrate on a Friday night is not good for me.
I want to wake early in the morning as I want to watch Wales in the Rugby World Cup.
" Come on Wales you can do it"
