Work


It's rained for a month so I thought I'd just post a nice, sunny holiday picture to cheer you all up.

I don't want to bore you but I'm sure you'd like a quick update on my insomnia. It came to a head on Friday when that feeling off wanting to weep made me actually cry. I spoke to my GP who prescribed me some pills as a temporary patch, he suggested I try the app Sleepio which is a 6 week sleep programme and he sign-posted me to psychology. The meds do help me sleep but also make me feel pretty groggy and 'drugged'. The app, I think will be helpful, at the moment I'm just logging my sleep daily (though this figure is artificial due to the meds). I've contacted psychology but nothing happened with that yet. Obviously a waiting list and I'm not convinced it will help, only because I don't believe anxiety is my problem here. Fingers crossed things improve. 

At work things have been difficult. Having to concentrate when feeling so thick-headed is tricky. My boss has been great, giving me time to get to a quieter place and doing jobs that need less brain function. I'm blessed. 

Now, I feel it's also my job to tell you how annoying my husband can be. (Don't worry, if he wrote a blog it would be full of how annoying I am - but he doesn't and I do.) I don't generally share annoyances about other people (I'm not that rude... Usually). And think about it, everyone in your life annoys you sometimes, don't they? I love my family, including my big sister. Now this annoyance really made me laugh, and if you know my big sister I'm sure you'll agree too (can you tell I'm nervous? Lol). She's a diabetic nurse and therefore an encyclopedia about sugar and carbs. And she lives by her word. The other day I was shopping for Ribena (love it hot) and asked her whether full sugar or sugar free was best. She came back with "fizzy water with berries?" No! No! And No! Ha ha I mean she's absolutely right, but no! 

Mark might annoy me but I've really missed him this last 2 weeks and I can't wait for him to come home tomorrow. It was his birthday Wednesday (he's always away snowboarding on his birthday) so we're having a nice night away to celebrate. I won't be having my sleeping pill that night as they are taken sans alcohol, and a glass or two of something will be had. Whoop whoop. 

Have a great week and I'll see you next Friday.

It's not about making right decisions. It's about making decisions right.
