Dopiness

I'm having a dopey day. I need to shower, wash my hair, have a good scrub in general, but this morning I was far too dopey to risk a shower. I barely managed to turn the cooker off before I left the house. So in this state I decided to tackle the last part of the final assignment for an OU course I'm doing. I'm not sure how well I did, but it's done now and it's one more thing off the to-do list.

 

I still feel really tired though. Or not tired, more like sleepy. Maybe I don't have enough air in here. I have drunk a litre of water already today, but maybe I need more. Last night I had an extremely bad attack of diarrhoea which really exhausted me. Of course, the banoffee pie I had for dinner didn't help matters, but I suspect the diarrhoea was prompted more by something else. I'm not sure what yet, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

 

It still leaves me with the problem of the tiredness. I want to get the place good and tidy tonight. I won't be back in the house after tomorrow morning so tonight is the best time to get things ready for arriving back on Monday. So I've written out a to-do list and I'm working my way through as much as possible in work – I've a fair bit of paperwork to get through and I'm motoring through it really. I've got the assignment handed in as I said above. I'm going to start researching some publications for the next creative writing assignment cos that is going to be handed in around the time I'm moving house.

 

That reminds me – if anyone lives near Haverhill and has any advice for me moving there – shout up J I've been fantasy house shopping this morning as well. There're some really nice houses in that area. Still, I've got a month yet. It will be ok. And Al and I are going to drive around the area this weekend to see what sort of place it is and all the rest. I'm looking forward this weekend really. I want to spend some time with Al and it will be fun driving around looking at places. I may try and arrange some viewings but I doubt it will be possible with the bank holidays going on. Still four days I'm not in work will be good.

 

3hrs 16mins left in work. I have become a clock watcher in the last few months. Maybe in the next place I can be happy and enjoy my work again. It's weird that my boss is being so sad to let me go – he's never shown this much appreciation for me before……of course he's also told me not to ask for a reference for six months or so………we'll see……

 

I've spent a lot of the day trying to sit in a position that allows my neck to be held properly to help this nerve that is being pinched. I've had pain in my shoulder for more than a month now so it is something, but the physio yesterday seemed to think I was fine and I am very strong, (Woohoo!! All those weight paying off!!) so she's not worried, just wants to see me again. Also she wants me to let people touch my neck and shoulders so I get used to it – apparently I'm flinching with the weight of her hand on my shoulder blades and I shouldn't be doing that.

 

It feels weird sitting this far back from the pc, but if this is what it takes to maintain strength in my neck, then that's what it takes. I can get used to it. My shoulder doesn't feel any worse today, so whatever I'm trying isn't causing more pain. I think I need to look at strengthening my back as well – I'm getting a few aches and pains there as well.

 

Maybe I'm falling apart at the age of 31…..now that is a depressing thought!!!
