Vacation Day Eleven....its a day on the sofa for me...

Actually I was rather more reclined than I appear here, and I have my coffee table laden with all that I need - lappy, tea, ciggies (yeah, I know!), pills, books & mags...and a walking stick to hand for those moments when Ive had too much tea...you know what I mean yeah?

My day began full of pain but also full of hope, as the weekend was over at last and I could ring the surgery and shift my appointment forward from Thursday and get myself some really magic pills that will actually work!

Of course you may be thinking...what planet is she on, and indeed you would be right. Having started off at no.10 in the queue, I eventually get through to the gestapo on the desk...but beg and weep as I might, the very best she could do for me was Wednesday...sigh! Yes, she could have fit me in with another strange doc this afternoon, but I havent the energy to keep breaking a new one in, so I declined, through the sobs, and accepted Wednesday before she changed her mind!

Once I pulled myself together I figured that I needed a new strategy for dealing with the jippy hip - I couldnt go on squealing around the house for two more days trying to carry on as if things were normal. So I decided to set myself up a nest on the sofa...as described above...take root and budge for noone or nothing all day long! I had my lappy tuned into Facebook so I could keep tabs on my shop and my cafe...and I did pretty well I have to say, I had the odd snooze, slurp of tea and read of my book - and as the night approached, I have to say my day of being EVEN MORE lazy than usual has been a great success!

I can now step out into the kitchen, albeit with walking stick, without pain...woohoo! This is progress indeed and a huge relief as I really was losing the will to live...

Tonight, and perhaps more importantly, first thing in the morning will be the real test. Up to now I have squealed and squirmed with the effort of getting into my bed, and well...getting out of it in the morning has taken a good half an hour - I just didnt know which bit of me to try to move first such was the pain. Is it too much to hope that tomorrow will be kinder to me.....?

Whatever, I am looking forward to getting to my bed as the living room is now like an oven...its that 42" radiating a million degrees at me again, and I am dripping..ugh! Okay, I think there may a 'tropical moment' going on here somewhere too, but once I lay out on my cosy princess and the pea bed with my fan on turbo boost, and my magicool in hand......I will be fine and dandy!

To show my appreciation of you putting up with my moans and groans, I have found rather an amusing item to show you (as I googled 'mad woman on sofa' for this post).

How would you like a sofa like this...and do you think DFS have one in their sale (that ends SOON!!!!)



Can you believe that someone somewhere thought this was a good idea??? Scary!

Here's to a happy Tuesday - another day of taking it easy me thinks!
