The Negatives
My burn is really hurting as it's healing.
The stopping smoking is taking all my focus.
My calf muscles hurt from running.
The Positives
My burn is healing.
I'm not smoking.
I've been running.
Saturday 21st February Woken at 2am with a sideways motion on the ferry on the Irish Sea. Went back to sleep and woken again at 5.30am with all the lights coming on and public announcement. I had some breakfast in the lounge, freshened up, filled my coffee flask and down to the car deck. Straight off the ferry. Random police stop about where I'd been, then a 2 and a half hour drive home and back by 9am. Unpacked the van, washing machine on, everything put away and I had a long soak in the bath. Peter and I went into town for coffee, I had my nails done and after lunch the afternoon was spent watching Birmingham on the TV and finishing the washing and tumble drying. Dinner and Winter Olympics in the evening and an early night. The cat hasn't left my side since I got home.
Sunday 22nd February In bed all day with a headache, feeling sick and an upset stomach, spent most of the day sleeping, felt so tired and every muscle ached. Forced myself up out of bed around 2pm and had a long hot soak in the bath, still feeling nauseous and headachy but stomach settled so decided to have some fruit and felt much better. Around 4.30pm I went out for a coffee, taking it slowly and felt so much better, came home for some toast and stayed downstairs, reading and blogging, watched some TV with Peter and went to bed after another bath at 9pm. Still headachy and feeling nauseous. Pink fluffy clouds.
Monday 23rd February Woke early and struggled into work and through the day, not helped by being told off by a colleague who had failed to do what was needed in order for me to do my job, just didn't like me pointing it out by asking for help for the rest of the week. Home via the retail park. Decided to ditch the coffee shop after getting some more plasters for my burn which is really throbbing, bought myself some flowers and an M&S meal in an attempt to start eating properly. I retired to the sofa with a banging headache, managed a bath and was in bed by 9.30pm. Peter went to visit his friend in Lyme Regis for the day getting home at 7.30pm in time for dinner and to watch Man Utd.
Tuesday 24th February A few issues in work, but otherwise all ok. Home via the coffee shop so I can sit in peace and complete some job applications. Still not feeling 100% A light dinner, bath and an early night. A light dinner, bath and an early night. Pushkins is enjoying the drier and warmer weather.
Wednesday 25th February A day covering Spanish, all year groups and in different classrooms and all good lessons, no hiccups. I just wish every day could be like this. Home and straight out for a walk up the Malvern Hills, well more of a route march. Peter met me in town for a coffee. We decided to get my burn checked up at the local A&E as my arm was swelling and the area was red and getting bigger. 3 hours later I was told it was healing nicely, it was part of the healing process and not an infection, a proper dressing was applied which I can change myself in 48 hours and if any further problems to go to the nurse at my GP surgery. That ties in nicely with B12 jabs and blood tests next week. Home for a late dinner, bath, finish watching Millwall v Birmingham on the TV instead of my phone and bed.
Thursday 26th February My stress levels are through the roof, my arm is killing me, the stopping smoking is driving me mad, I only took the tablets for 4 days as the side effects were awful so I've been going cold turkey, it's the habit that's the hard part, not the nicotine. The addiction is the going outside in the morning with the cup of tea, after work/dinner, before bed. Work...fights, sworn at, things thrown at me, daily occurrence. Stressed with EE, went to the gym, had a coffee. Home, dinner, read and bed. Some TLC needed in the garden also.
Friday 27th February I'd like to say work was reasonable but it wasn't. It's not acceptable to feel unsafe in the work place, sadly I'm not the only one who feels this way. Picked Peter up on the way home and we went for coffee, home for dinner, watch TV, bath and an early night.
