At last - internet is back working again and another piece of good news that I have passed my resit assignment. Pleased to get some good news at last after this week!

Washing line snapped this afternoon so thats something else to sort out at the weekend

I feel a tiny bit better today. Started the antibiotics after feeling so bad yesterday. Have a bit more energy today, definately no where near normal but an improvement compared to how I've felt for the last 5 days. Appetite is returning too and I've tried hard to stick to plenty of fresh fruit and veg which has been hard work at times. But as I bought it all last weekend I thought I'd better use it up and not throw it out (oh no!)

Did a little bit of reading this afternoon for the assignment which made some sense at this very early stage

Thought it best to take all week off to get over this thing and not rush back too soon as I need to make sure I am ok with all the work I have on now, over the next 4 weeks and the half marathon.

Felt really fed up the last few days for not exercising. Funny how not exercising has had a big impact on how I feel, especially when feeling very run down and under the weather and any other description you want to insert here! Guess the exercising has kicked into a regular routine, well of course it has and the thought that kept going through my mind was 'What if I'm not better for the half? All that running through winter going to waste' Good job I feel better today and not so feeling sorry for myself. Of course it won't be a waste even if I'm not well enough to run it which I'm sure I will be and if not, I'll run another one!

To celebrate passing my assignment and doing reading for the other ones some sale items fell into my basket and checked out

Will see how they fit and then decide and then declare off the budget. Whoops so much for a NSD clothes month! Oh well, needed something to cheer me up after the rubbish week I've had this week

Woke up at normal time today. Maybe I'm on the mend at last. Hope so.

Today I need to nip out for some food shopping and hopefully feel up to taking Mr Dog for a longer walk this afternoon. Hope I do. To do so I need to do a lot of work on the assignment.

Time for some lovely toast and honey then onwards with the day ahead. Time to start writing now!

Forgot to mention earlier, my treat pot is adding up nicely and now stands at £51 all gained from the 100 day challenge

Also bought 2 more savings stamps for christmas and this is now at £12 after a few weeks on not buying any

Well so far i have written a quarter of the assignment. Hoping to do at least another 200 words this afternoon and take Mr Dog for a nice long walk. Pleased to say I do feel better today at long last.

Assignment wise I have written an introduction, first major section and later on will have drafted the section section and expanded on some justification points at the beginning.

Think I might have a break and go out with the dog before it gets greyer and coldet out there. Then its time to knuckle down again with it for an hour or so. Then again for another hour after tea

Did write another 200 words! Yeah! 1/4 done now and referenced. Tomorrow is tacking the next section as I only did the beginning bit and some tweaking of the rest. might an hour on the methods bit if I can be bothered. Maybe tackle the easier book at this point!

Ok, didn't do any more last night. Nevermind, have been up and about early today and taken my dog on a nice long walk for this first time this week so MUST be feeling better now at long last.

Washing is all out drying on the line and next for me is starting a 2 hour study session to write the next section, reference it and make sense of it in my head.

If I feel up to it and can allow myself the time to I'll take the dog on another nice long walk as it looks bright and breezy all day here

Off I go then with coffee in hand - only 2 days left to go before deadline - eek!

Well I'm not making much progress on the assignment and have very bogged down in an extremely academically abstract book. Eventually I had to give up and put it down in a huff before my head exploded.

Off I went to change the bedding and so on and got destracted by a huge pile of papers on the desk that needed sorting. I was looking for something which of course I found at the bottom.

That was a job I had put off for a very long time and many months and what a surprise I do it on the weekend of high pressure studying!

Not much else to report apart from I really need to write something good today otherwise I'll be in a bit of a high anxiety state later on and tomorrow.

Off I go then to make myself either read a chapter or study for 45mins then its a very easy tea thankfully.

Happily though its been a NSD today. Infact so far in May I've got 3 now and probably another one tomorrow as I reckon I'm going to have a pretty full on day.

fedupandskint

Feel a little better now. Have tweaked some more the first half and written some of the dreaded methods section. Upto 1240 words now so a maximum of 1000 words left to go tomorrow.

I'll be up early to get up and ready, clean the bathroom and then make a start with a cup of coffee to make sense of what is left to do.

Right then what's happened so far? Was up a little later today than yesterday then after got ready and had breakfast took Mr Dog on the lovely long walk again in the warm sun. Mobbed by swifts and swallows on the way round!

Back to clean the bathroom and sweep the floors, washing out on the line drying and all ready to start the day's study and writing. Hoping to finish by the end of the day so here I go!
