Happy Monday!

It’s March! I’m pretty sure that January was two days ago…

We’ve started to get 10 hours of ‘daylight’ every day. It’s still England, so it’s very grey daylight but it has made a difference as I’ve started to wake up a bit and become more human, less cave gollum!

Everything is pretty much as it was the last time I came onto this space, Ma is still wobbly, I’m still busy at work, the plot is still in need of tidying, the usual stuff.

The biggest thing so far this year has been going back to the hospital for the same thing I was at the hospital for last year. The treatment that they hoped would work, has not and in fact the problem is worse. The hope was that the coil would stop the bleeding and reduce the migraines, it hasn’t, I have had more cramping, the consultant misread the ultrasound and there was another hysteroscopy last week, which was no fun. As I predicated, there is nothing wrong, it seems that I need more progestogen. (The pattern of my life for all issues, achievements, problems etc are for them to be C+ to B-, I’m often slightly above average but no more than that. I’m the person that’s in the foyer of the cinema as it bursts into flames not watching the movie. Yes, that did actually happen which is why I use it as an example! I don’t do the intense highs and lows of anything and I know how glib it sounds but it is largely true and I am mostly grateful for it but is does mean that there are less clear and straightforward solutions to the issues that I do have!)

It was very, very ouch and I was not happy about it but grateful to know that it’s nothing serious. I’m also still bleeding and cramping and my back has decided to play up too! I’m feeling very 50-something!

It has been a couple of very social weeks for me. My weekends are pretty busy anyway, but I’m going into week four of weekends that involve being outside and social beyond my usual Ma/work/allotment trifecta. Haircut’s, Christelle and Mike’s, Jonny’s 60th birthday party, which means I missed out on Christina’s 40th. (who am I that I have competing social events? Actually, 10 years ago, I turned down Jonny’s 50th for Christina’s 30th and then was too ill to go to either, so this is a improvement, a decade later) but this weekend is just Grace.

No one will be surprised to learn that I have prepped for all of this socialising by cleaning the flat and food prep. If my social battery is completely drained then at least the kitchen is clean! We’re also going into Lent this week (hopping out of Ordinary Time) which means there will be pancakes in my life this week and ashing.

I’m trying to get my mojo back this week by spending the first three days of the week in the office. It just has to be done!

Have the best week you can!
