I’m not ‘boring’. I’m English.
Too Tired To Relax
Today I made it into work for a whole 2 and a half hours before the waves of nausea sent me home. And at home rest was very far away. Mum went into hospital a couple of days ago for exploratory surgery and came back to complete bed rest. It’s tiring keeping someone as active as my Mum in bed.
But at least it is now the weekend and I get to spend all my time doing the things I need to do… and all the things Mum usually does.
Which is a lot.
Almost too much…
Actually, it’s a lot ‘too much’ and probably the reason she is tired all the time.
So, making her relax – although tiring for me – is deeply rewarding.
Now, if I could just get her to sleep so I can spend some time doing the things I need to do!

Not sure if I have mentioned this before but I have started a new temp position. It is only part time, which in every way (except finanacially) is perfect for me. I start at 1 in the afternoon and finish 4 hours later. In that time I do a little typing, answer the phones and

Today was a proud moment in this house. Today was the day my Mum, my dear wonderful ‘so to forward an email I click reply?’ Mum, learned to use iTunes. There was a brief moment where I nearly brained her with a mouse but she can now drag and drop tracks to her iPod, and

I finished the book. I finished Twilight, and I don’t have book 2 and 3. I need to have them. I need to have them now. And instead I have to wait until the book shop opens in the morning. Why isn’t there 24 hour bookshops? There needs to be one! Dammit. I loved that

Today was a bad day. I had a whole breathing issue and a whole sweating like a whore in church affair and the tiredness! God damn! I spent pretty much the entire day trying to catch my… it was bad. I got a look of concern from my mother… which made me panic a little.

I have just woken up and the world has gone dark and nothing has happened except I watched a few movies and rubbed my aching back and wondered why my kidneys hurt so bloody much and couldn’t breathe earlier and Mum scared me by talking about taking me to hospital and I swear to God

What a night, huh? Congratulations America! President Obama – its got a good ring to it. Anyway, surprisingly that’s not what I’m blathering about today. I spent a second day in bed. I went to the doctor and got me some CLASSIC advise. Me: I’m feeling wiped out, massively tired, knackered – you know, not
