Son phoned me at 11.30pm with “exciting” news (I was up reading so it was fine lol) and has only just ended the call. Damn good job I got up late and I’ve been having trouble getting to sleep lately 😂 I should really take my meds & go to bed though 😂😂😂😂

It’s not that I got distracted today, but I opened my laptop around noon when I was having breakfast & only just come off it. I got engrossed in genealogy on my dad’s side (sending him an email asking for help & this is what I know) so I’m only just putting the TV on for a change & it’s weird 😂

I’m not running late today at all, I’m choosing to have breakfast as my lunch 😂😂 Just received good news in the post which set off a chain of thoughts in my head and now my brain spoons are used up again 🙄 along with an injured knee I think I’m calling it a rest day.

And it’s just taken me over an hour to write it up. Not only do I have weird dreams, they’re also pretty vivid at times, lots of little details stay with me. I have an A5 notepad & pen in my room to write dreams down. 11 pages later and I’m done writing it up, now to get up & start the day 🙃

I have some fucking weird dreams 🥴 Time to get this one written down before I forget.

I was going to go to bed but someone has just started letting off fireworks 🙄🤬🤬

I was just thinking this morning I’ve not heard from my son for a while (I’ve seen him on insta & he’s working nights so I know he’s fine) & maybe I might text him to see how the house hunting is going. Just got a text from him asking me to pick something up 😂😂 Mother KNOWS!! 😂

I am so cold today! Heating is on & if I put my cap on I get too hot, but without it I’m cold 🤷🏼‍♀️ My internal thermostat is even more fucked than it used to be!

RecoveringNicki @recoveringnicki.bsky.social · 2d

Well that’s the brain spoons used up for the day! Over 2hrs on the computer clearing up my email as my junk mail was at 1200+ & I’d spotted one that shouldn’t have been there last night via my phone so had to find it. Then I had 500 in my inbox including junk 🫣

Every autumn I get “apple & black current” cordial to make hot drinks which I’ve been having since I was small but I have to check the ingredients as I can’t have hibiscus. I used to buy Robinsons branded & just accepted I had to pay more. Just checked today & they now use hibiscus as well 😭

Late to the party but I’ve put The Handmaids Tale on to see if I can stand to watch it. I studied it for A-levels so know it very well, I’ve also listened to the audiobook so the series has a lot to live up to. Just started episode 2 & I’m still in 2 minds…

Me this morning: I’m going to make those phonecalls today!

Brain: I don’t think so. I can’t even ….

Me: Fine, I’ll paint my window!

Body: You can try, but it’s going to hurt, your legs are going to give way, it’s too bright for your eyes & your shoulders will start hurting.

Me: …

Okay my reading slump may be over. Currently reading a YA series called “Wicca”, there’s 15 books in the series, I started book 1 late Thursday, I’m about to start book 3 😂 They’re only about 200 pages until the last one so that’s helping. Obviously my brain wants to read so 🥳

RecoveringNicki @recoveringnicki.bsky.social · 3d

Yep. I have to submit mine to my GP online or they’ll call me in for it to be taken there. Problem is my blood pressure goes up with walking there, then when I try to relax to calm it my heart rate drops but the blood pressure doesn’t drop enough 😂 Now I get to have that investigated 🙄

Yarden work done & 3 binbags in the bin, front of house cleaned, now to start reading sprints again. I have 15 books in this series & I’m hoping since they are YA so easier reading I’ll get them read by Halloween 🤞🏻

Wandered back to watching Booktube this week. Decided to partake in a reading sprint. I’ve read 70% of my book, washed 2 lots of dishes, done laundry & hung it to dry, remade my bed, watched 2 tarot videos & made/ate my tea while updating my bujo all since 4.45pm when it started. Same tomorrow? 🤞🏻😂

Got out the shower to a notification on the NHS app. I guess I’m ringing the doctors to say I don’t need these any more 😂😂 I have photo evidence I don’t have a cervix any more after my hysterectomy 😂😂😂

What the fuck is going on with time?!?! Yesterday dragged by for so long it felt like a week, today is flying by so fast I’m still in my pjs & nowhere closer to going for the shower I’m supposed to be having 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

RecoveringNicki @recoveringnicki.bsky.social · 6d

Didn’t get up until 9.30, took meds including painkillers and I still feel like crap. Resorting to “immune” tea in the hope it helps. I have bills I need to pay today & a laptop not happy, I really need to function properly to level that playing field and all I want to do is sleep. 😔

RecoveringNicki @recoveringnicki.bsky.social · 7d

I feel like shit. Fibro flare, yearly “freshers flu” from the students being back, something else…I have no idea but this is day 2 of being on the sofa unable to do anything and I hate it. Usually on rest days I can play minecraft or follow films/TV but not this time so I’m definitely sick. 😔

RecoveringNicki @recoveringnicki.bsky.social · 7d

Well it’s been a while but I’ve just stayed up late to finish a book. It’s not made any room on my shelf as it was on my currently reading pile, now I’m only 24 books behind my goal for the year 😂😂 Thankfully I have some quick reads & audiobooks to listen to so I’ll catch up hopefully 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I knew this program would annoy me so I didn’t even bother trying to watch it. Reading this thread tells me I was right to avoid it.

Grocery run done. I bought English mustard, lemons, paste, yoghurts & hot chocolate as my sick foods. Then grabbed salad & some toiletries I’m running low on. Now into leggings, fluffy socks & T-shirt and on the sofa under a blanket to rest for the remainder of the day while sweating this out 😴😴
