Last night I did something I hadn't done in many months. I almost slept through the entire night. ( A rare occurrence, especially when in Listowel)
I might have made it all the way through, but Docie decided that 4am was a good time to empty her bowels and bladder. Since I prefer her not to do those things in the house I found myself pulling on a pair of pants and stumbling out the front door to make sure she didn't take off and wake the neighbourhood. It didn't take long to get her back in the house and before I knew it I'd fallen back to sleep and we both woke up in time to see Susanna heading off to work for the day.
Looking out over the Maitland, it was clear that things were not clear. A dense fog shrouded everything beyond the garden shed, a sign that I shouldn't be in too big a rush to get anywhere soon.
That was perfectly fine with me. The previous week had been busy enough and I was more than happy to lay around doing nothing for a few hours.
For some reason I have found myself a little shy of energy of late and I'm trying to inspire myself to get a bit more exercise.
When I got back to London later in the day I found that my son had purchased me an Apple Watch so I spent the balance of my time setting it up and linking it to my iPhone. So now I have a device that can give me instant reminders of just how lazy I am. It also has an app. (Pillow) that can monitor my sleep patterns so I will now be able to stay up all night worrying about why my sleep patterns are all F'd up!!!!
Thursday was, unofficially, my last full day at work until I get through my upcoming chemo. A typical day runs 9.5 hours and I was finding that by the time I was getting past hour 8, I was getting a little too fatigued to keep going. Thankfully I have been given the option of working a couple of partial shifts, 2 or 3 days a week so the transition to being a completely unemployed bum can be slowed down slightly.
Perhaps it is time to dust off the old Ovation and see if I can still remember some major guitar chords!!!
