[chronic illness] Is it only Wednesday?
Jul. 5th, 2006 09:14 pmBecause two more days might kill me.
The work-sleep holding pattern is really pissing me off. It's summer, this shouldn't be happening. I can't even blame not sleeping because of the heat, as it hasn't got above 28 degrees in the bedroom, which, while not ideal, doesn't mess me about too much.
Being barely functional is annoying enough at the best of times, but when I'm in sole charge of the house & zoo it's worrying. You don't want to know how many times I checked that I shut the patio door last night. I'm dropping stuff all over the place but don't think I've broken anything. Animals are all fed, cleaned and watered (I think), but bunnies have not had adequate exercise and hate me. (Granted, Florence hates me anyway, but Jerry is deeply disappointed in me and makes me feel guilty). Hamsters have been less enthusiastic than usual about being released in their balls, so I don't need to feel guilty about letting them out for 1/4 of the time I usually do. Probably.
[you'd never believe I lived alone for several years, would you?]
There was an accident & the main road was closed so I had to walk most of the way to work this morning. I don't feel any worse tonight than I did yesterday so I guess it hasn't done any damage, and I did have some sort of resolution about walking more over the summer.
splat. No, hamsters in balls, then splat.
