I have only just woken up. It was my second night in my own bed and I was in a deep sleep and although I remember turning off my blasting alarm clock earlier I went back to sleep. Not quite with it yet this morning.

Well I have been away to attend my ex husband’s funeral. A very sad event but also a pleasure to think about the joyous attributes he had as well as the failings of the man. How he was a blessing as well as an exasperating man that we all loved and it was very sad to say goodbye.

I never know quite what the weather is doing. I’m always the last person to change from long sleeves into short and back again but maybe because I rarely go out. I always mean to go for a short walk but either the weather is against me or I forget.

A certain president has been in power 65 days and it feels like years. And never have I known it before where everyone is counting the days. Surely we aren’t going to have four years of this!

I will be offline for a few days later in the week but just one of those things.

So yet another night when I can’t sleep. Someone said something which is upsetting me and goes around in my head whilst everyone else seems to be asleep. Something that I have suffered from since puberty. I will attempt to get to sleep a little later.

The pain in my buttocks isn’t as intense but my lower back hurts and my legs don’t feel very strong but l managed to fetch breakfast in bed upstairs and will see how I am later. What a nuisance!

Well I have been struggling. In pain when I move and even more when I walk so everything is very difficult. Hopefully I will be better tomorrow.

My water supply could be turned off anytime between 9.00 and 5.00 so I’m trying to do everything early. I spilled half a giant bottle of fabric conditioner on the kitchen floor and spent so long trying to spoon it back into the bottle that my body seized up and I couldn’t walk for a while and my dear friend E… came and helped me. My thighs and buttocks are really painful to walk this morning.

Well I have come downstairs and I have fetched my breakfast but I don’t seem to be able to get any further. Oh dear again!
