New Day!!! Day 1 For Real!!!! Monday 11th March

Waking up this morning to a sore tum. Oops, forgot to take my paracetamol. I have to prepare this in it's soluble form in advance, so that the bubbles have a chance to dissipate. Bubbles are no good for those of us with tiny stomachs, sore stitches, swollen intestines and such. But painkillers are required, so I mix it ahead. Then I forget to drink it until I feel the nagging hurty thing again.

I detailed the school events yesterday, due to a strange lack of awareness of what I was supposed to be doing. I have not got the energy to cut and paste any school-related stuff from yesterday's page to here, so please bear with............

I have also woken up this morning to a nasty bout of cystitis, which has not bothered me for years. I cannot blame it on random shagging*, neither can I blame it on anything else. I have cystitis, it is uncomfortable, makes my pants unreliable, and has to stop.

*Sorry Mum! I wrote the s*"g word.

I ring my GP, who is most helpful, and provides a prescription for aniseed (eeeeuuuuggghhhh) flavoured antibiotics which are to be consumed in 20ml portions for the next 3 days. Said medicine arrives courtesy of the next-door-to-the-surgery pharmacy who deliver to deserving clients. I am now dosed up. I will sleep now.

Ouch!

This will help me to recharge my batteries in time for the return of C1 and C2 from school. The sun is shining, and there are flakes of snow in the air. I know they will both be praying tonight for a complete blizzard which will enable them to stay home tomorrow to check that I am still OK. 

I doubt that this will happen. 

Shepherd's Pie in the oven, V8 Juice in the glasses. 

C1 reading some trashy chick-lit on her bed. 

C2 tussling with the same old robots on the internet. 

Early bed for all 3 of us tonight. I may even have a shower!
