Tarts’ knickers


This week has been somewhat strange. 
Emotionally I’ve been up and down like a tart’s knickers.
I’m not stressing over the diabetes. 
It’s just been a very long week.  
Today I’ve driven a ninety mile round trip for a study day
Tomorrow I’m on a night shift again. 
Thank goodness my blood sugars have stabilised somewhat given my diet
To feel so fatigued on top of things , I would have been a basket case

And so I’m sat on the Promenade near home
I’m being mindful, helped by Max Richter.
The Welsh are noisily sharing some Swedish meatballs on the passenger seat 
And I’ve opened the window wide to let in the icy air.

    Sorry you're feeling so worn out so hope you'll eat a good dinner, have a restful, pleasant evening, sleep well tonight, go back to bed after the Saturday morning walk with Mary and Roger, have a good meal before driving northward for your night shift plus take good food for your late night meal, and have a safe journey there and home again Sunday morning. Okay?

    Hugs!

      The perfect antidote to a very strange week. Go to bed, sleep well, defray and refresh your mind. And start afresh tomorrow!

  3. Having the recent health diagnosis despite being kept in check is tiring in itself. Months of uncertainty and fractured sleep don't diminish once you know what is wrong; you are smart to follow a specific diet appertaining to your condition; and I think from memory tiredness can be/is a symptom. Apart from all of that you lead a very full life constantly on the go... it is no wonder you are feeling it. I think I see the need to be constantly busy, filling your life with things you like is not to be sniffed at, being a singleton comes with it's own challenges I believe not a the very least a leaning towards loneliness so keeping busy makes sense. But your business is not only social, you have your counselling, your coursework and of course your night shifts all thrown into the mix; I think you may need to slow down a tad whilst you get back on an even keel.

    Changing routine is tiring on top of being busy. Be kind to yourself xx

    H John
    Why not get an exercise bike and cycle at home every day . It will get your blood moving
    I have been doing 10 k every morning before breakfast since whenever I am 78 so you are only a spring chicken. I am writing this comment as I write this comment so you can multitask as well.
