Cold Afternoon

Good Afternoon,

I am very tired now. I did my little walk up the hill to Boots and the Post Office and now I am ready for bed again. Which is okay, I have actually been awake since I woke this morning, but I've sort of shifted from my bed, to my desk, back to bed and then out. So now I will go and nap. I'm not straining myself. I thought I was doing great considering how much I've slept the past few days.

So the lady at Boots has loaded me up with drugs. Well vitamins at the very least. Plus a box of paracetamol. So I have a red bottle, a blue bottle and a green bottle. One day I take one pill from the blue bottle, the next day I take one from the green and one from the red. I alternate days. The green and the red are for 30 days, the blue for 60. So we'll see how it goes. But I can't take one blue and one red because it'll be too much vitamin B for my body and it might make me sick. Which is why I alternate days or something like that.

I've just been told there will be a movie night in the Rose Room starting at about 9pm. I said if I was awake, I'd join them. I suppose walking to the Rose Room and back isn't too bad and if I go have that nap I should be fine. I don't want to sleep too much because I don't want to alter my sleep patterns too much. I found the past two nights I've been awake at weird hours and I can't do that while I am working.

Well I am going to get some tea and go back up to bed. I had a random thought that a little of what I felt like just before I got diagnosed with my sugar intolerance is a little of what I am feeling now. Maybe I haven't been as stringent as I need to be. I mean in the beginning I was very careful with what I ate. Stuck to water and a small amount of dairy. No white bread. Brown bread. In some regards it was almost like a detox. While I make a conscious effort to not eat too much 'sugar', perhaps I've been a bit lax when it comes to normal food, like dairy and bread. So I'm going to stop white bread and cut back on dairy and see if that helps. Because when I think about it, I eat far more of that here than I did at home because I'm not a fan of the rest of the food. Maybe over time it's become too much. We'll see. Or maybe I just am tired and not getting enough vitamins. Who knows.

Anyhows, enough about me, I hope you are well and enjoying the day so far.

Rachael :-)
