Feeling mighty meh right now.
How is it December already?
I am looking forward to that holiday next week. I just hope I don't get caught on the other side of the border in an unexpected COVID wave... (Nearly happened in Adelaide; our measures are fast and hard for a reason - nobody wants 4 months of isolation like Melbourne had to go through - and really nobody wants the situation in the US, only geared for Australia. The stitch in time saving nine.)
Got antibiotics on Monday, have been taking them since, still feeling not great. *grimace* Went back to the doc for a follow-up this morning. Got another 5 day course of antibiots, and set up for a lung function test tomorrow.
Am picking my early fruit from the backyard now: plums and apricots - although almost no apricots this year. Nectarines from a friend who lives in a valley. Blueberries from my mother. I bought cherries at a roadside stall for rather more pricey than the supermarket, but they were amazing cherries.
I have put on a lot of weight, mostly around my waist. Apple-shaped, not pear. Which is apparently one of the shapes with major heart and fatty-deposits concerns. I should join the exercise-every-day group on FB and go for a jog every day. Starting Monday when I leave for my holiday. Note to self: take runners and a set of clothes suitable for jogging in Darwin weather.
I am absolutely exhausted almost all the time. I don't know how much of it is COVID-stress, how much of it is US election stress, how much of it is life stress, how much of it is lack-of-sleep. But one way or the other, I feel like I exist in a state where I am almost constantly wanting a nap.
Back in October, I joined an Australian gift exchange. I signed up to make a gift for someone and someone signed up to make a gift for me. Mine hasn't come, but then...I haven't sent mine out either. I dithered and dallied and have only just started it this week. And then I decided to put a leather base on it and...let's just say that my machine is not dealing with it very well. I've had to hand sew the leather base on, which takes more time than I like and I feel bad for being delayed and I should contact them about getting it in late but...
Don't even ask about Yuletide. Like the Goddess Czol. Do. Not. Ask.
My back is still aching from the pummeling of the Chinese masseuse last Friday. I'm going to see my regular masseuse tomorrow and I hope that she can ease whatever has been troubling me before this. I kind of wish I'd booked a chiro appointment after - it's been a while since I had that done and it was really helpful when I was having it done.
Blah de blah de blah. Now to go shopping and do some crop swapping during lunch...

I'm still tired and feeling a bit meh, but I'm up and awake and have eaten this morning, while I'll take as a win... :)
