Day Thirty-four

Have decided to up the dosage and took 2x18mg just after 9am, plus 1x18mg at about 11am.
Got up feeling fine and rearing to go, but a phone call threw me off balance. Procrastination kicked in big time.

After a fairly chilly hour from about 11 to about 12noon, it was a wonderfully sunny, mild day.
Just before midday I went out to pick a few brambles. Started chatting to one of my neighbours, went to pick some berries for her husband, handed them over, chatted some more... – and ended up spending five hours completely hyper-focused on weeding part of the garden. No matter how often I told myself to stop and go back into the house, I just kept on pulling out those pesky weeds that have irritated me for weeks.

I came in feeling completely exhausted, totally hyper, "fizzing" with fatigue and adrenalin (?), and headachy from not drinking at all for such a long time. It took me a while to re-focus on this evening's Gaelic phone tutorial, for which I still had to do some prepping.

I managed, just, to be ready, leaving a few questions unanswered and to be presented to the tutor during the tutorial. That's perfectly ok.

Things went ok. Afterwards, though, I felt despair and hopelessness. Not nice. I felt cold, as well. Got myself some food and a mug of instant soup.

And went back to dealing with the Gaelic stuff for this coming week. Good, but challenging. There's so much to remember, not enough time to review and practice.
