Mondayitis

I find myself really struggling in work this morning. The weekend was ok – not fantastic, but ok. Al was down and we had a really slow lazy weekend – lots of drinking and sleeping. OK something we both probably needed but it just leaves me with that much more work to do. I'm looking at ways I can cut down on anything I use for the next few weeks. Thinking of things like how few clothes can I actually survive on for two weeks and how little food can I get away with, that sort of malarkey. I'm even look at something like Jenny Craig for two weeks to see if that would work better either. They've an offer on at the minute……

 

But I don't have a microwave. On the other hand, it might be an idea to get a microwave and have done with it. I've been living without one for almost a year now and it's fine but it would be handy to have one.

 

I'm also looking at getting a freeview box. I don't want to take out another contract for tv when Al has one and it will only be for two months. Plus buying a freeview box means I will have telly straight away in the new house rather than having to wait for several weeks. It will make things a bit easier with Mam and Dad for the weekend as well.

 

Today? Healthwise? I'm not well. A weekend of being an idiot with drink and sleep and food means I'm sluggish and miserable today. I've got an earache I'm almost certain is connected to hayfever, a headache that appears to be tension related and a tummy that is generally not happy. I need more water and I need to get some now, but it's a walk to the water bottle and I'm not in a moving mood. Could do with a few days off really, but it's not going to happen. So plan for today – get through the day. Just get through it. I bought lunch earlier – chicken salad - and I can fairly guarantee there will be chocolate at some point. I'm ignoring emails from certain people cos I can't be dealing with their issues today. I need some time to focus on my own issues. OK I'm not dying or anything but I am going through yet another period of change and I need to look at that.

 

So the aim for tonight is to get home, get the flat tidied up. Use the boxes I got at the weekend to pack up the last of the books. Stack in the spare room. Sorted. After that it will be the knick-knacks around the place, carefully packed away in small boxes and stacked neatly. After that, well we'll see. I'll be impressed if things get that far to be honest.

 

And I've just filled my water bottle again, so hopefully this headache will sort itself out now.
