Back To Basics

bloodydemonicI have not been very good care of myself the last 10 days or so.
It's weird, working from home I still had a schedule, much like I was still going to work; getting up, eating, sleeping all at regular, 'normal' intervals. But now I'm signed off with this broken ankle, I'm all over the place. A lot of that has been how drowsy the painkillers were making me, and the fact I've not been sleeping well because of the cast. I've also kind of just been grazing on junk. It's not been very productive
Last night I slept all the way through without the help of medication. I was able to get comfortable and slept. It's amazing the difference it 's made on my mood and behaviour today. I was asleep by 11 last night, awake by 8 this morning, ate breakfast, I had lunch around 1pm. I've felt much more awake, although I did doze on the couch for an hour or so this afternoon - but that was after pain medication. I'm getting around a lot easier on the crutches as well which is helping me feel less sluggish - I'm not just laying around all the time.
Tally's mum brought us round some groceries. She'd also cooked for us and brought round a few days worth of roast pork belly with apple sauce. It is amazing tasting. I sense roast pork sandwiches and apple sauce sandwiches in my tomorrow!
I want to try and keep to the 'normal' schedule as much as I can, especially how much better I feel for it. It's been a good day filled with kitty cuddles, girlfriend cuddles, Doctor Who and good food!
