One word for today – Angry!  Wake at 4:15 take pain killers – then back to bed. Doze on and off then finally seem to go back to sleep until woken by noisy boys at 8am.  Not bloody happy.  Eventually get up with a plan of going for a walk after breakfast. Nothing really shaking the mood either.  Don’t want to eat as feel like crap anyway but force down 2 pieces of toast – yuck!  Sick of feeling sick and in pain but won’t make anymore comments.

Eventually get out for a walk about 11am and do 4kms around the block.  Mood not really changing yet either.  Just wound up about everything. Feel a bit better when I get home.  Have a small nap as the walk has tired me.  Then go outside and prune the neighbours trees that are hanging over the fence and blocking the sun.  Load up the Ute then take it to the dump.  Then drop the Ute back to Dad’s.  Head off to Nick & Anna’s to see Viv and Ollie – happy birthday wee man.  A nice catchup with all.  Mood improved a bit to

Head home to get the house warmed up, curtains shut,etc.  Go and play handball for a bit with the boys until wine time is called.  Have a vodka and nibbles – vodka is going down well but nibbles are a little slow as I don’t think I can stomach the food really.  Dad calls and have a yarn with him, then watch some TV, pain-killer up and take my grumpy ass to bed to read for a bit.  Probably the best place for it today – should never have got up.

Kia Kaha.
