Well, last night was a write-off in the sleeping stakes. I have had a flare up of my Diverticulitis in the wake of having had the steroids/antibiotics combo. I had had niggles since the weekend, but put it down to having had some wine with Tam. Then last night I was in enough discomfort to keep me awake a couple of hours, until I came downstairs for Panadol. I crawled back into bed, and Dr Pippi, bless her, knew exactly the spot to settle down on and snuggled into my back, purring, and I was soon asleep. Cat therapy does work . . . I am feeling very tired now though, and will go through once I've finished my cup of Earl Grey and have a nap.
I thought to check with the Endoscopy dept. at the Hospital, as I had a feeling that a flare-up might prevent the procedure, and I was right, so it has been put back 6 weeks, to early March. Sword of Damocles moved a bit further away then . . . Eating very carefully now - soup for lunch, and it will be some of the chicken casserole with rice for tea tonight.
I managed to get the car down to the garage this morning, getting Pam to pick me up and bring me home, and then we had a natter which cheered me up. Always nice to have someone to talk to and catch up on news and gossip!!
Last night I finished the Pippi picture, and am pleased with it. Just need to add another grey stitch to cover the drawn design on the back front leg. (Being a perfectionist). I need to look for a little frame for it now.
So I have started on this one, which won't take long to sew up.
I was in the mood for a chocolate apple cake, so have one cooking in the oven right now.
Still blowy and rainy here. I have been watching Rewilding Jude on You Tube and he has been busy with his garden, and my fingers are fairly twitching to get out and about in mine. D also mentioned getting a new Hellebore and so next month I will go to the little garden centre near Crossgates, and get one. They are a fraction of the price of the Old Railway Line Garden Centre, where they sell around £19.99! I want to get lots of Lupins too and have big drifts of them to remind me of NZ.
Its blowing a gale here and the rain is coming down sideways. I've only ventured as far as the bin but OH went to fetch his paper (Daily Mail). Having glanced through it, its full of Trump, Beckhams, Prince Harry and various other 'stars'. When did a newsreader become a star! Lots of drawer and cupboard sorting ready for new drawers as I want to move stuff round. 2 bags to go to charity shop. Mince and veg for tea. Bet you're glad your oscopy has been put off. Hugs Xx
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have what we had yesterday. It calmed down a bit here today - still not gardening weather though!! BUT I am making a list . . . We take the same paper but I only get the Tuesday one now (for the health pages) and occasionally the Saturday one. I see I didn't miss much in today's edition.
DeleteNether regions have calmed down a bit and I am making sure I drink lots of water. I have time to get my brain around the oscopy now.
Poor you, always another illness. But then a reprieve re endoscopy... The flower planning sounds delightful. Are you stocked up for the big storm, plenty of food etc? Does your heat work if the power fails? I'm sure youre a pro at this sort of thing.
