    Hope you are feeling a bit better tomorrow.
  • Thanks @Blackcats. I do try to at least struggle on with some bits most of the time, but when too many things hurt or aren't working at one time sometimes you just have to let yourself lie down and be steamrollered!

  • Thank you @beanielou. What is this 'be kind to yourself' you speak of?! 😁 No, I am trying but as you know it is very, very wearing on one's physical and mental resources to feel dire, to not be able to do anything about feeling dire, and to live in dread of when the next time to feel even more dire than usual quickly rolls around. But at least there are books and wine under blankets and side lamps, so all is not lost

    Can't beat a Beanie-supplied pusscat piccy when you're feeling a bit grot, eh! They are a pair of beauties! 

    Hopefully you're feeling at least a bit more up to speed today anyway - and echoing the fact that yes, sometimes, you just need to accept that sitting and resting is the fastest way to create at least some sort of an improvement.
