Currently watching the news about the riots in London and Birmingham. I hope everyone is safe, and it gets sorted soon.

Mattress topper is very comfortable 😀 Woke up today when the carer was here. She took me to the toilet and brushed my teeth but I was still too tired to get up and dressed. After I’d rested for a bit went into World of Warcraft, where I overdid it with a dungeon that lasted ages.

Spent most of the afternoon resting in bed, feeling rotten because I’d been sitting up too long. Was able to get up again for a bit in spurts throughout the evening, with rests in between, so I’m doing a bit better. At one point while I was in bed Johan gave me a bed bath and helped me into clean pyjamas, which was lovely 🙂

Scrambled cheesy eggs for tea, which Johan had never cooked before but were perfect 😀

Evening carers were early because their schedules said something different to mine 🙁 Made me really anxious and I couldn’t have them near me when they came back. I have my care review tomorrow where I’m meant to be discussing this, so I’ll make sure to bring it up. I’m also hoping to be well enough to go join Slimming World. We’ll see 🙂

Nearly forgot to take a photo today, so this one was taken about 5 minutes before falling asleep 😛

Feeling slightly better today than yesterday, and was able to get out of bed for a bit, though not as long as I can normally. Played a bit of World of Warcraft, and also went into Second Life for a bit. Otherwise spent most of the day resting.

I did send Johan out to buy this memory foam mattress topper and pillow. Since I’ve been spending most of the day in bed, it was starting to get uncomfortable and I was developing sores in certain areas (not full blown pressure sores, just red areas that are a bit sore). I’m hoping that this will help make it a bit more comfortable. It does have to air for 12 hours first though, which is why it’s on the floor and not on my bed.

Was vaguely aware of the carer arriving this morning, but was too shattered to get up. Was also woken up when Johan was going to the Linux User Group, but went back to sleep. Was woken up properly by the thunder about 3pm and realised it wasn’t going to be a good day when I fainted after using the commode (luckily I’d made it back onto my bed by then).

Had a day of dizziness, pain and feeling crap 😛 Started throwing up after taking painkillers and anti-nausea tablets, but it calmed down and I was able to eat something. So long as I stayed lying down I was okayish, so have stayed in bed all day. Despite feeling crap, my mood has been pretty good, and I half-watched Chicken Run and Paragon raiding on the telly.

Also today I received the book I’d ordered from Amazon. I’m looking forward to reading it when I feel a bit better 🙂 Still waiting on the rest of the order though, which are speakers (so I can give Johan his back) and some bright pink ear defenders.

Having an early night, so tomorrow will be a better day.

Spent most of the day in bed again. Went in Second Life for a bit, though, spending time in The Shelter. Also watched more Starcraft 2 from bed, including the most epic match I’ve seen in a tournament. It lasted about 45 minutes, both players reached the supply cap of 200, and it was won with carriers (which you don’t see much of because they’re vulnerable to anti-air). For those who have even less knowledge of Starcraft 2 than me (as mine is terrible)- it was long, exciting, and not seen normally 😛

Travelled back from Leeds today, though spent an hour with Johan’s parents before getting the train. The train was okay, though I found it difficult to sit up because of overdoing it. When we got home I spent most of the day in bed, watching Starcraft 2 on the telly. Johan stole my chair to watch it 😛

When I was feeling a bit better I went into Second Life, and worked on getting my avatar out of 2007 and into 2011. She looks very different now, but still feels like me 🙂
