Did I tidy my room? YES! I picked up all the newspaper. I have too many things in this room and need to get rid of them, harder when many of them are junk books (too bad condition to pass on) and the recycling team are not picking up. I need to get rid of books so I can make room on the shelves for those I want to keep.

Did I go to bed early last night? YES! I did! I was entirely virtuous.

Did I take my nighttime anti-migraine pills? NO! I thought I had, but my pill box says no.

Did I do my dawn walk? NO! I woke up very late.

What's the weather like? Cool and grey. It's definitely no longer summer.

Did I wash and get dressed in nice clothes? YES! The same clothes as yesterday, since they were all still clean.

Did I do relaxation after breakfast? YES! Not very well though.

Did I go out somewhere else too? YES! I went to the drop-in and chatted and made a card - an appliqué felt brown leave on a brown linen and gingham background, ideal to send to BIL/SIL on their anniversary on the 26th. I enjoyed myself lots.

Did I cook? YES! I made the pumpkin soup, although the pumpkin caught, so while it still tastes good, it's a horrible brown instead of a bright festive orange. I made a breakfast of bacon and toast, since one of the first things I did this morning was fry the smoked streaky bacon to crispy point, ready to cut up and put in the soup later. The soup was a masterpiece of timing and planning, other than the catching-and-staining-all-the-liquid-brown thing.

Did I take my post-breakfast anti-migraine pills? YES!


Did I do anything energetic? YES! I did cooking and washed everything as I went, so lots of standing up. I walked to the resource centre and back.

Did I use my brain? YES! I did my assigned tasks for OU. I made a card, and when I realised I'd gone wrong, altered the pattern to look good and purposeful.

Happy things: Sessifet has a new car! (Even though the reason she has it is very upsetting, she seems very pleased to have this new one.) I made something! The soup tasted good. I enjoy going through Betterware catalogues, I really do. I like having a proper warm full-length coat, very much. Moth is very cute when she is gambolling about trying to kill a toy. I am reading _Penelope's Experiences in Scotland_, written in 1898, this edition printed in 1902. It is witty and fun and the narration, in places, feels very up-to-date. It is a surprising and lovely find, and my 'old books I like reading' shelf is one I actually have space on.

HEALTH

Did I take painkillers? YES! Tramadol last night, scheduled. Cocodamol last night.

Did I have a migraine? YES! One last night and one today. The one today is a sickening headache, a sort of queasiness of the eye. There's pain there too, but the tramadol is masking it.

Do I feel MEish? YES! I feel achey in all my lymph nodes. When I finished doing the card, I couldn't stop my hands shaking. It was like having a panic attack, but without feeling at all scared; just the physical reactions.

How are my sinuses? Cruddy and very sore.

Did I sleep well? YES! I think so. I apparently slept through some ruffians trashing Sessifet's car door. I had a lot of trouble waking up and getting moving, which I put down to the tramadol.

PLANS

Shopping. I might have fish instead of chicken in the leek thing.

Cooking white-meat-in-a-white-sauce.

Library - ordering books I can't get new, and finding that ever-elusive Something To Read. Returning the David Tennant biography because it's a bit pants.

Returning borrowed books to Random and Sessifet. The amount of not-mine books in here is creeping up, and I've read them all or am never going to.
