Not been feeling that great since last night. Temperature is up a bit so I did a Covid test which was negative. Probably just a cold.

Running a bit slow this morning although I am rarely energetic first thing. I found it very difficult to get up today but my bath has sorted that out. I’m glad that it’s the end of the week!!

After my cleaner/helper/friend left I got the washing on of the bedding she had changed earlier. It was nice weather and I managed to get it dried outside in batches and then folded and put away upstairs in the afternoon. That was the first time I had managed to get it outside since I hurt my hand which really hurts this morning.

A dear friend gave me a gentle exercise to do with my hand and I only did it once. And yesterday and today my hand has been really hurting. Of course they might not be connected but he said not to do it again anyway. Pain runs from my little finger knuckle right the way up to my elbow. Just taken some more painkillers.

Another night when I can’t sleep so I have come downstairs. I might try again a little later. Although if l stay awake this night there are plenty of things l can get done but it will have to be quietly.

My hand is really hurting this morning. I’m having breakfast in bed this bank holiday weekend but when my hand hurts I worry about it because I am hoping that it will settle and not need surgery. I do try not to moan about aches and pains.

Kamala Harris seems to be doing rather well and stands a very good chance of becoming the next US president. Amongst many other things I am a firm supporter of abortion. I think every baby should be a wanted baby and every woman should have a choice of whether or not she chooses to carry a foetus to term as far as medical emergencies permit.

I received a letter from the hospital confirming the most likely injury causing my wrist pain and to wear the splint and do just gentle exercise so I am trying to be patient. Not something I am known for these days!! It gave me the option of phoning for an appointment if it doesn’t settle.

Crippled by bad back pain this morning – what a nuisance. I think it’s come out in competition with my wrist!! It’s not usually this bad so early in the day.

I am really tired this morning – I slept like a log but could have slept for several hours more. Oh well!
