January
15 Monday I woke during the night with a migraine. Meds resolved it, but I spent the rest of the night on the sofa, sleeping on and off. Home from work at 4pm, absolutley shattered, had tea, watched TV, video call with grandson, did some blogging, bath and bed by 10pm.
16 Tuesday Into work for 8am as per norm, then down the retail park for coffee and GP appointment at 5pm. Another blood test ordered, a chest X-ray ordered and a dermatology referral made. My stress levels with all the medical appointments and tests are causing me a lot of stress, which is impacting on my physical health. So dark at 7.40am going to work. 
17 Wednesday Home from work at 4pm to do the washing, then back in for 5.30pm till 7pm for GCSE options to support a couple of students and their parents. Home again to watch TV and an early night to read.
18 Thursday Into work then back out for a blood test, rest of the day was quiet, late leaving and met Peter for a coffee, did a food shop and home to watch TV and blog. Video call with grandchildren and long chat with my mate from uni days.
19 Friday Left for work at 8.10am, can't believe the difference in the light with 30 minutes. Cooked a roast dinner after work instead of chips with my friend for the evening.
20 Saturday Met mum in Gloucester, collected child 1 and went for coffee and a wander around the Range and B&M. Took mum to hospital for her 2nd cataract operation, dropped child 1 home then brought mum home with us for a couple of days while she recovers. Evening spent in front of the TV and reading.
21 Sunday Peter took mum home and on to visit grandchild and I spent the day making cards, writing letters, wrapping and packing gifts to post, catching up with the shops and reading my book. I went for a walk in the afternoon. Evening spent watching TV, having a bath, reading and blogging.

On the blog this week: Me and my migraines
Definitely looking forward to lighter mornings. Its already improving. Leave home for the bus stop in the dark at 7.20, return home 10 mins later and its so much lighter.
ReplyDeleteAll your tests would make anyone feel rough. Hopefully you'll get some answers and support from them rather than them feeling pointless. Hope your mum's recovering well.
thanks, mum made a full and quick recovery
DeleteGoodness, what a week you have had. I hope the test results give you the answers you need. I am finding that the mornings are still pretty dark but the evenings seem to be lighter. Looking forward to leaving the house in daylight soon.
ReplyDeletethank you, it is getting easier leaving for work when it's light
DeleteI am glad the meds helped with the migraine. All of your medical appointments seems never ending, no wonder you are stressed!
ReplyDeleteWe noticed this morning that it's so much lighter which I am so glad about. x
I never realised how debilitating stress could be
DeleteOh my, what a busy week you have had with all your appointments, hope the results give you answers. I love the slow increase in the lighter mornings and the longer evenings, can't wait for the season to change.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the longer lighter mornings, but I'm not a fan of evenings where it's still daylight at 9pm, I find it harder to sleep
DeleteSorry to hear you had a migraine but glad the meds resolved it. I can imagine that all the medical appointments and tests must be very stressful. Hope your mum is recovering well from her cataract operation. It is nice that the days are starting to get a little lighter - I've noticed the difference in the morning over the last week or so. #project365
ReplyDeleteMum is fully recovered from her eye op. I am enjoying the lighter mornings
DeleteSorry to hear you’re going through so many health things at the moment - I hope they settle soon. Hopefully the lighter mornings will be here soon and I’m sure we’ll all feel better for it!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteSorry to hear you are still getting migraines. Sounds like to have had a busy week. I am impressed you are continuing with the selfies
ReplyDeleteI think the selfies may have been a challenge too far
DeleteI get the same with medical appointments I feel like they are never ending atm hope your ok
ReplyDeleteThank you, I hope all is ok with you also
DeleteOh gosh you do seem to have a fair few medical appointments. Glad the meds helped with the migraine. Am so looking forward to the longer days!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteAwww bless you sounds tricky with all the appointments, take plenty of time to relax and unwind to take care of yourself. I love the clothes bought bit on the end, nice to have a nosey at purchases lol! Maybe I should do the same. And your writing a book?, well done you! I think I must have missed a lot being out of the weekly updates for so long.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping a track of what I buy to keep control of my spending. All the appointments are stressing me out
