Naturally, as soon as I complain about the weather being horrid, it turns around and becomes utterly glorious out there.

Yesterday, even though I was still very sore, I went out into my garden and made the best of it. I spent the first couple of hours on my couch, eating breakfast, waiting for painkillers to kick in, but after that my tablet, snack supplies and I went out, spread a blanket on the grass and basked in glorious sunshine. Douglas spent the whole day sprawled out either next to me, or curled up on my lap because no-one enjoys a nap in the sun quite as much as an 11 year old kitty.

Then, yesterday evening, my boyfriend came round with a takeout curry and a bottle of wine which we enjoyed in the garden before he went home and I went to bed. Should I have drunk wine having taken some heavy-duty painkillers? Probably not but as a wise man once said: fuck it, I did it anyway. (And, randomly, I'm hearing that in David Tennant's Crowley's voice) I have missed him like crazy (the boyfriend, not David Tennant LOL), we don't live together and he works in a supermarket so even now we're allowed to see each other, we're still being very careful. It was absolutely lovely to see him though, just sit and talk and be together ♥

I think my plan for today, once the painkillers have kicked in (although I'm a little more 'stiff and achy' than 'utter agony' which is a relief), is going to be pretty much the same: sunshine, garden, book, youtube, good music.

You know it's not going to be a great day when you wake up in pain.

I've been pretty sore and achy for the last week which has been annoying but I've been taking painkillers and pushing thorugh it. I have some joint issues (and mental health ones) so it's nothing unusual for me to have pain and fatigue. I think the current flare has probably been caused by all the rain and storms we've had recently. I wasn't planning on writing about it though because honestly who wants to read about me whining I'm in pain? I know I don't want to write about it but sometimes it's what comes out when I put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard, I guess the equivalent is?)

Today, though, I woke up in pain. I could barely roll over and getting from laying to sitting to standing was excruciating. I grabbed a crutch, hobbled to the bathroom, got some water, hobbled back to bed, took some pain medication and lay back down. I woke up again a few hours later in a little less agony but was able to move.

I pretty much got as far as my couch, laid in supplies for the day, and got comfy. I spent the day reading (Veronica Roth - Divergent), watching TV and Youtube. I've now watched the first two First Doctor Serials - An Unearthly Child & The Daleks - and am pleased to report Daleks still terrify me as much now as they did when I was a child. I also completely adore Susan.

In other, completely unrelated news, I don't think I'm loving this layout. When I have more functioning brain capacity, I will be exploring and hopefully finding a new one.
