Update: It turned out that the kid’s rebelled when I wrote this post and asked me to carry on writing my diary, so I changed the way I did it instead, as described in this blog post When I started this diary 181 days ago it was in a desperate...
Another good nights sleep, down to 40mg of Pregabalin and still sleeping through. Woke up at 6:30, immediately fell back to sleep and only just made it to Caffe Nero before opening time. Tess walked into town with me which was nice. Stayed there for just over an hour and...
Today was meant to be a recovery day, an essential complement to the previous day’s hiking and cycling. I’ve found that although I’m able to do a lot more now on a particular day than I used to be able to while working, on average I’m not able to do...
The weather was absolutely superb today in Windermere, so I couldn’t resist a trip up there. I modified my usual routine and parked my car at Ambleside and cycled to Bowness for breakfast, it was much better that way round as the hard hilly bike ride was out of the...
Finally after a couple of weeks work the house has been returned to normal, Debbie has a lovely office and Jennie has a great bedsit, a lot of clutter has been sorted through and donated to charity shops, or found it’s way to the tip. I switched the alarm off...
Absolutely exhausted after days of intense physical effort, so this will be a very short diary entry. Slept well, woke up at 7am spent 45 minutes on my exercise bike watching Madame Secretary and then dropped into Caffe Nero for an hour, walked home by a long winding route to...
The focus for today has been preparing the floor in Jennie’s bedsit ready to lay laminate flooring tomorrow. Before I started that though I slept well, woke up at 7:30 and headed to Lytham, had a quick walk and camped out in Caffe Nero for a couple of hours, then...
I’ve taken a rest from working on the house today but I’ve not stopped moving and that’s certainly eased my sore legs and back. I woke up before Debbie today which is very rare, I’d slept well on 60mg of Pregabalin and I’m still feeling good, I’m trying 50mg tonight. ...
For the first time in as long as I can remember I stayed in the house almost the whole day today, no shopping, no walking, no cooking, just pure focus on finishing Debbie’s office and readying Jennie’s bedsit for re-flooring on Monday. It’s been immensely satisfying to get stuck into...
I spent most of the day working on Debbie’s Office and it’s 80% complete now, nearly there! I slept through the night for the first time in probably a month, and I was exhausted so I really needed it, but I only managed it with a low dose of Lycria. ...
