    I really feel for people who have energy issues, like yourself KC:kisses3:. It must be awful to not be able to do what you want to do. I'm very fortunate (and I can't think it's anything but luck) that I have very few problems that way. Yes, I sometimes feel weary but it's usually when I've badly overdone things. I tend to get a bit carried away sometimes:o, forgetting that I'm no longer a spring chicken;).


    I'm feeling pretty lethargic at the moment actually as I've thoroughly enjoyed an Olympics TV-fest. Luckily I don't need much sleep and it's a good thing because I've been burning the candle at both ends every night for weeks. Because of the time-zone differences all the best action has tended to be between midnight and 3 a.m. I've been there until the end every night:eek:


    Things will be back to normal (if anything ever is where I'm concerned:rotfl:) from tomorrow.


    What an exciting few days are in store for you, KC. Don't overdo things, we all want you to really enjoy your momentous milestone:beer:

    Aw, thank you CBC :) the whole fatigue thing is a complete pain - and really boring too, but its a major part of my life, and the diary would sound very odd if I ignored it - I'd sound really lazy! I wish I knew why some people get it and others don't, even when they're under the same stresses. What predisposes people?

    Well, at the moment, I want a predisposition to wellness :j that's what I'm aiming for. Did 30 mins in the garden - there's enough jobs out there to choose from :D and actually shallow fried some onions and peppers that were YS in a local Tesco Express - oh, and inspecting *my* sweet chestnut trees, there's a good crop coming on :p

    Pleasant dreams all :)

    My momentous milestone will be safeguarded, I promise :)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    You're a star, Gally :kisses3:

    In other breaking news :p this is my busiest day of this week - 3 hours, plus another hour preparing and tidying up afterwards :eek:

    Never mind ... the Amazon sale has been posted, the washing machine has been on, I've done most of the cleaning necessary for a midday start, I'm just going to take it easy - I feel quite "gland-y", tbh, and I don't want to fall at the last hurdle. It was nice being outside, even to post a letter - one ambition is to have breakfast, or even my morning coffee, outside, before I go to Norfolk.

    :j:j:j the home straight, folks :j

    It really is :j:j:j

    No more Mondays ... omigod, I can't believe it. I love believing it! Today was tough. I ambled off afterwards to my blackberry patch, but didn't get many: actually, I didn't care today, ambling along was enough.

    And Ginger Cat has decided to lurve me, desperate to get in the house by the front door. I sound very stern :D

    I managed to tidy up by maybe 8pm, and thats me done. No client work tomorrow, so I shall plan at my leisure :)

    Thanks both :j I wake up very happy this week :j

    I made sure to leave a gap today, no sessions, so its:
    - paper shredding
    - tidying - a long, slow haul cos of the fatigue thingy :cool:
    - popping into town to buy some veg, after
    - washing machine finished - getting my own stuff done now so that I can do the fabrics from the therapy room as soon as poss, and get them to the charity shop rag banks.
    - while the w/m is doing its thing, mooch on here, and finish off the cat blog.
    - invent cold fusion.

    See :D I'm expanding my interests.
