WAFFLE ALERT - Feel free to skip

Ooh, it's a weird, weird day today.:(

Mr LW went to the fruit'n'veg market as usual, and we got Sid all organised - walked, insulined, fed etc - all ok.

Felt a tad rough, but did my yoga as usual.

Mr LW suggested we go out for a while; bit limited, as I can't get into pubs with steps anymore, and where we usually go there's a canalside gala this weekend, which would be too much for Sidney, and prob too much for me too.

Luckily it was sunny, so put on layers (been shivering cold all day) and sat in garden of different (dog-friendly) pub.

Got home, took Sid for a trundle as he didn't want to "go" in the pub garden, got him to finish this morning's grub.... and I nearly passed out.

Mr LW suggested I go to bed for an hour or two - at which (gods know why) I burst into tears!

Since then I've been trying to stay conscious; am currently huddled in a blanket on the sofa, with Sid lying next to me, and I feel really woozy.

I'm scared, as I think it's to do with the lupus, and there's nowt I can do about it.

Sorry - needed to get it out of my system; can't talk to Mr LW about it, he just sits there looking bemused because he can't "fix" it.:(

*pathetic attempt at a grin* Hopefully normal service will be resumed... at some point.

Get well soon vibes sent to LW. Hope you're on the mend soon.

Take care 1step - hope to see you back soon.

You be careful LW - you take meds that can affect your immune system, feelings and painkillers, so it could be anything from a bug to needing your prescriptions tweaked, never mind a lupus flare. If you still feel grotty after a cuppa and a sandwich, get yourself the first available doctor's appointment!

Managed to drag myself out, but only got as far as dinner tonight (salmon and salad) and buying a pot of dill to stick in the garden. I think I might pop it in the back of one of the flower borders, so there is some shape and movement there after the flowers have gone.


And my white foxglove is looking spectacular - but it's salmony-peach, not the white that was specifically bought for the white border!!!!!!!! Arggghhh! It clashes so against the pale mauve wildflowers that the bees are clambering over!



ETA: why are the splats all sleeping underneath the furniture? Instead of on it? [looks up to the skies suspiciously]

....


[takes in washing just in case that funny feeling is a thunderstorm/cloudburst on the way]

Have to say they're worth it, I spent a good few years in air cadets and camps were the absolute highlight. If you're lucky he'll learn some discipline

Oh, and you get a week of slightly more peace
