morning post

Well. so far, so good: woke up relatively clearheaded, with almost no Fibro fog. That's great. And after yesterday, too.

Also, the edema in my leg is down, and I can walk,which means being able to return to normal function. Thar's very good because my house resembles an Ant's hill presently; Things thrown all over the living room, (thanks to my cat and to me being unable to organize yesterday); hairs, dust,sand, etc' all over the floor (thanks to me shedding my hair enough to fill whole pillows. not to mention my cat. ), and thanks to antnongarou preferred mode of cleaning which is rough at best. I mean, he might as well not waste his time on it at all if those are the results. I will just do it again anyway.

Anyhow, I decided to do my Holiday Shopping before work instead of after. That proved to be an inspired decision; Arrived at Azriely around 10 AM just as things were opening , and was able to go in an out with two gifts by 10:20. By than, the place started to resemble the horribly disturbed ants hill it would become; By 17 today you will not be able to insert a pin in there, it will be so crowed. No doubt I would have left the place a Zombie and screwed all the improvement achieved so far.

Now, I will attempt to work with some energy today and get some things done. Those last few weeks were very, very slow.

Piano music

Since my brain was inching from sheer nerves,and I was on the verge of breaking windows here, I searched Youtube for soothing music and found:

This

Works like charm, only now I want to sleep very badly and can hardly keep my eyes open...

I might try to fall asleep to this music tonight. Should be doable - keep the cellphone charged so it will not die on you; put on Audio; and find the link in youtube. It's worse a try, I think.

day post

Well. Today we had a major fuck up with the gift-plan for my middle nephew. And both of us are quite, quite pissed off, to say it mildly

It's like this: Tal has fallen in love with Role Playing Games - it's antongarou influence. So he begged from his parents one of the two books needed (in order to learn how to play well),and begged from us the other one. since those books are well over 150 NIS, it had become a birthday project. Well and good.

Now, I was nagging antongarou for the last two weeks to buy the damn thing. (as the RPG expert, the job fell on him). He kept postponing on the grounds that it's a basic book, and we can get it at Frick or something.

Around last Thursday he finally got to it. Only to discover that the book has ran out in all stores but one. Don’t know why, a new version coming or something. And it's in KS, not exactly in our area.

The girl on the store on Sunday talked with antongarou and promised she will see to a swift delivery. With Post Office delivery service. We paid an extra 50 NIS for the service, and it was supposed to land in CP (Checkpoint) yesterday morning.

As Kitten is fond of saying (and G will probably agree...) Suppose is the name of a fish.

The bottom line of our long,extremely infuriating dialogue with the store and with Post Office is nil. No book, no present, and me supposed to be at work today and than off by train to KY. And antongarou is stuck at home cause we have some help coming to clean house. It's more than I cane manage, to clean well enough in my state to please antongarou's mother (she is coming Friday). And antongarou. well, it's starting from an unsatisfactory level with him, so.

So we are going to execute tomorrow plan B. I will make the run to Frick and try to find another book of this family - there are many. Kitten advised me just now to try rest, so I think I will take taxi - more money, alas, but it will spare me quite a bit fatigue, so. I really do fear relapsing again into an episode like last week, it was more than I can bare,certainly on such short notice.

On a more positive note - I did well in my balance work today. up to almost 30 seconds. I did not do more than four rounds, since I am taking it easy. But it's a definite improvement. Also, I am almost certain I'm doing it as Hagar taught me. I'm hoping to see her next Tuesday, and frankly am quite eager to show off...

Also - G. We are more and more in love with him. He is such a delight, showing so much intelligence and playfulness. And he is so friendly. Today I walk into the bedroom, and find the little cat sprawled on his back, head cuddled into my pillow, all four paws up, with his belly exposed. Purring mighty. If only I was quick enough to picture him.

Our game of "try and keep me out" at night are continuing, and every day it's becoming harder to avoid him. He has my routine down pat by now and knows when to pounce. *sigh*. It took me a full hour yesterday to get him out of the room...
