I get a bit of a mis during Nov and Feb but it is not so bad.
Silly me I* forgot abotu the clocks going back - I am convinced it always happens on Halloween. I was a t a friend's house and had left early in the morning. I shut her fron door and, too late forgot she closes and locks the porch door at night,. I rang her son on his mobile but he was so groggy that he sounded different so I thoght I had the wrong number so I had to ring their home phone - at 7am!!! She never gets up before 10 am!
I was popular!! Still, serves her right for talking at me until 3 am Saturday morning and Sunday morning!!!
Oh no... so she didn't think it was funny that you were locked in her porch???
No, don't feel sorry for me, I've got this SAD thing completely under control just so long as I get out and walk. I'm just kicking myself that I suffered with it for years before finally finding the cure.
I'm back, been extremely busy then got sick and am still sick so bleah. No gym for two weeks but eating hasn't been too bad*.
Can someone cliffnote for me what you've all been up to?
At work so will go back and read when I have a minute. Hope the monkey swinging weekend went well and that none of you got hurt!
Sarah Ann - I think I have SAD too. Since the nights started getting dark I've had an awful time just motivating myself to do anything. My mood has been considerably darker too, I get like this every year and it used to drive me nuts until I did a bit of reading about SAD.
Anyway, so much to do. Will drop by later.
*there might have been some pizza this week. oh and some fast food. oopsie
Frus and Helen, APE weekend sounds like fun...who was at the bottom of the pile then? Pictures would be nice, Frus, your camera sounds nice, I have a Cannon something or other, had it a few years and love it.
Piggin' cold here, still windy, I have a sh**load of leaves that have blown in the front walkway, but it's too windy out to rake or sweep, so I'll continue walking through them, they do make a nice crunchy sound though.
My Mum was diagnosed with SAD syndrome about six years ago, she takes meds, and I had to push her into that, she needs to take them from the clocks going back until they go forward again and they help, but she still has bad days when she can't cope with things. I will try and rememeber to tell her to get out in the middle of the day for a walk about town or something and see if that helps her too...thanks for that info Sarah.
I've been to curves this morning, and walked Pen and Lew, they were a bit dubious about walking through piles of leaves and pine needles from the droppings of the storm this weekend, but they managed... we were walking against the wind for a good part, so now they're both curled up snoozing...and I have floors to swiffer, sweep and mop...oh joy!
Try and persuade your Mum to get out for at least an hour when the suns at its strongest - it really helps. Something to do with seratonin ... or was it melatonin... definitely something-tonin.
Hmm, I really don't know if I'm going to be able to run this evening. I've been feeling lousy all day - tired from getting back home late last night and getting up unnecessarily early this morning, plus this abdominal pain thing (apparently there has been a bug going round work which it could be, rather than anything more serious). At about 3 it started to feel a lot better, but it seems to have come back on again a bit in the past hour. I'd quite like to go and at least see how I feel, but then I can't help thinking that sleeping would be better for me. I've got about half an hour to decide. Maybe if I skip tonight I'll be better for Wednesday, and my race on Sunday.
Sorry i havent been around i have been so busy , i am going to a wedding at the end of Nov , i am franticlly trying to get a dress or an outfit but i cant do anything till last minute incase it dont fit so i decided now is the time i went looking yesterday and found a lovley black dress grrrrrrrrrrr i dont want black lol but if i cant find anything else black with coloured accesories it is and i ordered a lovley silver dress from the catalogue too , and im planning on going up Oxford street on weds to see what else i can find so fingers crossed i will find something lol Oh and ive dropped a dress size woohoooooo.
Helen I hope you start feeling better soon, do you think it is a bug or do you still think it might be gallbladder problems? If you don't start to feel better soon get yourself down to a doctors.
Teresa - well done on dropping a size, that's a great achievement
I am very well going to the gym shortly. Although I just had a bit of choc from my son. Yesterday seemed such a long day for me. I remember when my boys were babies it used to put them right out. They always were up so early once the clocks went back I felt as if I'd been up all night.
We had no crap at work today nobody bought anything in we are being the best girls.
Well done on that dress size down Treez, hope you find an outfit for the wedding... Oxford street....I used to love a trip down there once in a blue moon...got a beautiful black leather jacket once, wore the thing until it fell apart after about ten years.
Helen, hope your tum feels better soon and you decided sleep was better for it than running.
Sarah... I shall pass that on to my Mum, she does get out in the garden and potter about as she too has a sun trap there, I'll tell her if she doesn't fancy a walk, she's a bit dubious about walking alone since she had a bad fall on a holiday in the spring...she should wrap up and still get outside.
It's still breezy here, but I've tackled the huge knee deep pile of leaves at the front door... I swept them onto the grass, and hopefully they'll stay there until tomorrow which is supposed to be calmer and then I'll rake and bag. Apparently here I have to get rid of them myself, last time we had leaves falling was in NJ, and they had a super duper big hoover thingy come along the road, and you just swept your leaves in the raods direction and the said super duper hoover thingy sucked them all up... bit more rustic here it appears!
I've swiffered and mopped and hoovered all about, can't do anymore with the hoover now as the bag is full and I can't seem to find the one's I need anywhere, gonna have to search on line for bloody hoover bags now... I ask ya!
Michelle, your sarnie did sound mouth watering, I may try one myself, although finding any decent bread here is a nightmare..but I'll try.
Thanks for the kind words girls ,it feels great to have an acheivemnt when my weightloss hasnt been going has good as id hoped i hope to improve this week with the weightloss.
Sleep is good. I didn't run in the end, I ate before I left work because I'd taken my food with me, so I could see how I felt, but it triggered it off again, I started feeling sick and decided to just get home. I slept for an hour as soon as I got in, then woke up a bit and have been watching tv (if I sleep through I know I'll just be awake from about 3am and feel grotty for the rest of tomorrow). I don't know whether it's a gall bladder thing or a bug, it's in the right place for gallbladder problems (just below the ribs on the right hand side), but apparently something has been going round work so I'm hoping it's that. If I don't feel up to work tomorrow I might go to the doctors, but fingers crossed it does seem to be a bit better this evening.
Hello! I'm feeling a bit more alive this morning after lots of sleep, but there's still a bit of niggling pain there. Nowhere near as bad as it has been (but then the past few days it has tended to come on in the afternoon/evening). I didn't work out this morning, but fingers crossed I'll be able to run tomorrow after work as I'm missing it!
It doesn't look like I've got into FLM, so I'm sitting here pondering other options for next year...
I think high fat stuff triggers gall bladder thingies... What did you eat for dinner? Hope you're feeling better soon.
I am skipping kickboxing tonight, aren't we a right bunch of slackers? I'm getting a bit of a cold and I don't particularly want to see anyone there. I got a text last night from someone who was supposed to come to the Hen later on and she said "something came up". Well thanks for letting me know!
Last night I took all the stickers off the candle holders, wrapped up most of the gingerbread men and had a bath!!!! Oh that was after a manic class. I think I'm hoarse from that!
Tonight I'm sewing on buttons and going to bed early. The best man is STILL HERE! He told us on FRIDAY that he was staying Saturday. THEN he didn't leave on Sunday and was going to leave Monday.... He's still here. He's supposed to go to his brothers today, but we shall see. I'm not entertaining him or cooking for him I am making a point of doing lots of wedding jobs and getting Dom to help. He might take the hint. Last night he just sat on the sofa while we were farting on with candles and gingerbread men.
Ok enough ranting, I suppose I must do something with the day!!!!

PS My new camera is coming today! I get to take silly pictures! YAY!
