Thank God for understanding GPs!

Backtrack a little...

I spent a magical few days in Brisbane! A great night with T- lots of chatting and laughing. I read an interesting book on depression on the plane on the way down, but left it with T- I think she and hopefully A will get something out of it. I will write a review on it later!

Had a good time shopping on Friday. Picked up some great t-shirts- 'I have issues' and 'Help me Jesus, Save me from your followers' for W and 'Warning: contains bitterness and resentment' for me. Also picked up a shopping list that says 'Domestically Disabled'. Don't know if that describes me or not!

The ABA conference was wonderful! Although some of the content was a tad dry, the feeling that I was a valued member of the association and had something to offer was amazing. So I have come home totally excited about doing more for the association.

Then home. W had coped remarkably well- bought in lots of groceries that I wouldn't normally buy such as sugary breakfast cereals, jelly and fruit cups, soft drink... but I suppose it made it easier for him. They also went to Maccas twice on Saturday! W bought a new laundry hamper which I don't like, but in the scheme of things it doesn't matter that much and he may even do some of the laundry. They also cleaned up the kitchen which was nice.

I came home totally exhausted. Went to the GP today- had a long standing appointment. I blamed hormones which he partially agreed with but I have promised that I will be in bed before 10 each night (well it will be 10.30 tonight. I am going to get up at 5.30 in the mornings and walk for an hour. I am on Magnesium, B6 and Zinc, Evening Primrose Oil and also back on Metformin to try and regulate my non existent cycles. We also talked contraception. If I have a few regular cycles (he strongly suggests W put a rubber on his dickie!) I can consider an IUD.

So I will get up tomorrow and walk. Exercise is meant to be the best treatment for tiredness. 7 hours sleep should be enough. Exercise will make it better...

Have you been getting up early? Going to bed earlier? Walking?

Just me said...

Um... Well I spent a lot of Sunday in bed, dragged myself along to the shrink appointment Monday, spent Tuesday in bed, dragged myself to GP yesterday afternoon after my tonsil looked like it was still growing and I am on antibiotics for tonsilitis. I am feeling a lot better today! Off to bed early tonight then I will get up tomorrow! I promise- perhaps you should text me or I text you when I get up!
