Month: August 2011

Today Johan wasn’t in, so Martin looked after me. He did well, except for the trying to break my toes when he was pushing me in the wheelchair :p

Today has been another lazy day. Played World of Warcraft, The Sims Social when it would work (it’s not again now), tried to read a book but didn’t have the concentration  so read a magazine instead. Also watched Doctor Who and ordered a new wheelchair. New wheelchair is the same as the old wheelchair, just less broken.

It’s been fun having Martin here, and he’s staying overnight as he can’t be bothered to get two buses home. Johan got back around 9pm, and he said he enjoyed his day out. Now I am the sleepies so will be turning laptop off and going to sleep.

A wild Martin appears!

Slept in today, until 1pm. I needed it to catch up with the lack of sleep recently. Was very groggy all day, and wasn’t well enough for a bath when favourite carer came this evening, but she did some tidying instead.

My brother arrived while favourite carer was here. He’s staying overnight, then here tomorrow to Danni-sit me while Johan goes off to Manchester. I was meant to be going with him, but I’m not well enough to travel that sort of distance at the moment.

Spent the time I’ve been awake doing pretty much nothing on the laptop, resting, then a short period on my desktop computer playing World of Warcraft on the US realms.

Tomorrow, I hope to get dressed 😛

I missed 4 days. I wasn’t well, and I said at the beginning I wasn’t going to be too upset if I missed any. Getting back into it now though.

Spent a lot of the day in bed resting/laptoping, but also had a bath and went on the computer for a bit. The last few days have been rough, especially yesterday where I felt really ill and was very emotional and things. Mostly better now, though I still don’t have my "normal" level of strength.

I’ve still been playing The Sims Social, but it’s really slow and horrible on my laptop so I’ve just been playing it on my desktop computer. Also found a penguin video that made me happy.

Woke up just as the carer arrived this morning (not favourite carer as it’s her weekend off, but the other carer I get for mornings). Actually got dressed, which is big considering I wasn’t planning on going anywhere 😛

Spent time on my desktop computer for playing World of Warcraft and The Sims Social, as it runs a lot better on there than on my laptop. Annika is starting to show her age (and evil Vistaness).

Found it hard to rest today- kept getting really restless and found it impossible to shut my brain up, even when listening to quiet music. Didn’t help that there was a Newcastle match today so the pub was being extra noisy.

Currently lying on my bed, tired but unable to sleep because the pub is too noisy, even with my ear defenders on. Hopefully they’ll be quiet soon so I can get some sleep.

Resting day today, only getting up to play World of Warcraft for a bit, and to get a bath.

Woke up just after favourite carer left, as the postman had a parcel containing my bright pink laptop tray 😀 It’s working loads better than a cushion, and my laptop hasn’t been overheating since I started using it.

I wasn’t going to have my bath tonight as I wasn’t feeling up to it, but when I heard it was favourite carer I decided I’d have it anyway, as she lets me rest enough to be able to manage it. She also changed my bedding while I was in there, which was awesome 🙂

Set up my activity diary on my computer, copying and pasting most of the stuff from my previous one, resetting up the macros, then spending lots of time picking colours 😛 Managed to put some rest into today’s diary, though I know it’s an area I struggle with. I will discuss it with the clinic when I’m next there.
