ExpandThe saga continues )

I wasn't able to go online for a couple of days, but when I did today I was highly amused by Mona's post in TR. That made my day. :)
I did start on another SO chapter, just didn't get very far. I'm more in a CC mood, to be honest.

It's my mother's birthday today, so we're awaiting an invasion of relatives in the afternoon.
I didn't get much writing done - apparently the air-condition in my hotel room in Ljubljana or the non-existent AC but open windows on the train home didn't do me good. My left hand often feels numb, the doctor thinks my neck is to blame. :(

So, I am to move as much as I can, not sit around, not lie down either (and I do feel some pain if I spend some time sitting down and my left hand gets numb if I lie down for a longer time). So I only typed out what I managed to write on the train to SI, which is about half a chapter of Misogynists. I have one chapter of Stormy Weather finished, though - could post that, I suppose, since ANI is so very quiet at the moment.

I've got 2 huge bruises on my arms. :( They had to give me an injection, and to take a blood sample, so right now I look like a junkie. Good thing it's going to be colder tomorrow, so I can wear long sleeves without feeling I'm in an oven.

The endocrinologist says I'm making progress, but it's still a long way. I'll have to phone her for my results on Wednesday afternoon. I didn't get the MRT results yet, but I suppose the eye doc will phone me once he gets them.

You know how it feels if someone tells you not to do something? In my case, the doctor told me not to move my eyes. I had to close them, and I tried not to move them, but as I kept thinking of NOT to do it it felt as if I did. Does that make sense? Anyway, it was terrible. Much worse than the other MRTs I've been through. The fact that both my hands went numb didn't help. I've no idea why they did, but the feeling almost made me go crazy. I only hope I won't have to repeat this for moving my eyes after all. ;)

Well, it's over, and now I'm awaiting the verdict. Cortisone, or no cortisone?

Posted a new chapter of CC after re-reading the entire story over the weekend, to pick up the right mood again. I haven't worked on it in a while after all. I have great hopes for Laurent's new bodyguard...err...valet. ;)Oh, and I need more Alice / Blake and Lord M / Mrs Trevor interaction. Maybe in the next chapter, I'm planning to give my characters a break from killer-hunting.

I'm not feeling overly well at the moment, I don't get enough sleep because I'm suffering from anxiety / insomnia, the anxiety gets particularly bad in the evenings. And this night there was a fire alarm at 1.30, not in our building but the firefighters are next door, so I could hear the sirens. Just as I'd decided to go to sleep at last. Had to get up at 7 o'clock, and now I'm feeling extremely tired. I'm trying not to nap though, otherwise I'll be up all night again.

I'll have to see the thyroid specialist on Monday next week, as well as the eye specialist at the hospital. I'll tell the thyroid specialist about those anxiety attacks - I've ususally had them when the dose she prescribed was too high, maybe I'll have to cut back on thyroid meds.

MRT appointment at 4.15 p.m. today. I've been worrying about that all week - even though the nurse told me it was just to check if everything has stayed the way it was. When I did my first MRT I thought they'd find nothing, and they did find something in the end and half scared me to death (but that was another doctor, I have to add, not the one I'm going to now). Anyway, I've had a hard time falling asleep lately. But this too will pass.

So, I've got this afternoon off! Maybe I'll have a look around the shops once I'm finished at the doctor's. I shouldn't, really, because I need to save some money, but I don't often go to town so I'm not sure if I can resist all those shops.... and I'm in need of retail therapy.

Ever since I sang "Mein kleiner grĂ¼ner Kaktus" in class, I can't get the song out of my head. I should have known better. On the other hand, there are worse tunes one could have stuck in one's head. ;) On Tuesday, I came into my English class and said, "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen." Which pleased the kiddies, I mean, being 12 AND being called ladies and gentlemen... When I came in yesterday and said "Good morning, children," one of the girls asked me, "So we aren't ladies and gentlemen any more?" She looked really disappointed.

I know, I'm probably getting on everyone's nerves as much as on my own. In fact, I know I've got a grandmother who is in better form than myself, and right now I don't even want to imagine what I'm going to be like at her age (provided I'll live that long).

This time it's my stomach again. I felt sick all afternoon and evening yesterday, so I went to bed at 8 p.m. but couldn't sleep because of feeling sick. Today it's better (I hope), so I hope I can have some mashed potatoes for lunch. Please, not another tea - soup - toast phase!

Didn't get to write much this weekend, so though I'd wanted to post another chapter of SO today, it isn't finished yet. Mother's Day got in my way, so my readers will have to wait another day or two. Besides Mother's Day, I'm having a bout of migraines at the moment. Headache almost every day these past two weeks. It's not very bad, thank God, but still bad enough to bother me.

*sigh* So this has started again. My eyes aren't working as they should. It got better when I took those betablockers, but I stopped taking them last October because, frankly, I don't want to go on taking medication for the rest of my life. Now, since last week my eyes have started acting oddly again. I hate it. I really do. :-(
