Saturday tlc

I think my Saturday is going to be pretty mellow. Everything hurts today, and my tummy is a little unsettled. I had a VERY busy day at work yesterday, and I think I am paying for it today.

Will at least try to get to the swapmeet, need to buy grandson some new shoes and need a new little side table for my microwave upstairs. Yes, I do have a microwave upstairs too, as I use microwaveable heating pads (which I am addicted to) and get up in the night to reheat it all the time, and don't want to go all the way downstairs. The accomodations we Crohnies make for ourselves. LOL

Hope your energy levels improve Ivy, I am feeling rather run down myself. Hugs!

I want a microwave in my bedroom! And a fridge for keeping milk. I have a kettle and the teabags but nowhere to store milk ;_;

I rarely have a very obvious reaction to a single food, but I think I've finally found one: watercress. Yesterday for lunch I had an egg mayonnaise roll with watercress. Dear god. By the time of my 4th BM with dark green leaves/bits floating in it, I was wondering if I was passing the 1-month old remains of something else green and leafy instead. There just wasn't that much watercress! Think I can safely say I didn't get any nutrition out of that watercress whatsoever.

Stomach is more settled today (so far), but I do feel weary. @Ivy - I saw your email. I'll reply this evening, where hopefully I will have woken up a bit more. The few replies I have made on HW today have knackered me out for now.

Today's TLCs:

*Go for a walk - it's dark now, but I don't feel up to a long country walk anyway. I just feel I should move my sluggish body a bit today.
*Reply to a couple of emails and PMs (Vixen, I haven't forgotten I owe you an email... :-/)
*Read a few more pages of my camera manual

Think that's about it. I really should organise and clean up my computer files, too, and do backups of the stuff I would like to keep. I have been putting it off for several months, so maybe now is the time to start with baby steps and just concentrate on a small no. of files a day. Thinking of upgrading my PC or, more expensively, buying a laptop, but it's a big outlay.

Becky when I first went back it was a little rough, but now I am back into the groove.

NCOT I have a small fridge in my room too, it keeps gatorade or other little snacks.

Aww, choc, enjoy sleeping in your own bed!! Good for you walking around and functioning also!

I had a little freak out today, and had to call the on call dr. The steri strips over my belly button incision came off...again and yellow fluid was coming out. Since I'd never had that happen, I was scared it would get infected if I didn't do something. Work starts Monday and I couldn't just wait until then to deal with it. So, luckily my surgeon's partner (a female) called me back and reassured me that it would be fine, and she told me how to care for it to make sure it heals. My surgeon, though I love him and do trust him, probably would not have been so reassuring and given me step by step directions. I probably would have been nervous still had I talked to him because he's very to the point, not the hand holding explaining kind of guy. Anyway, all is well and I'm not worried now. (needed to vent though, thanks for listening!)

Just been one of those total write-offs of a day. I did manage to go for a short walk before dinner, but that was about it. I was starving hungry by the time dinner was served, so I managed to both eat more than I really should've done, but not daring to eat until I felt satisfied. Worst of both worlds, really. But I think whatever I had done I wouldn't have avoided a rubbish night.

Just vegged out in front of the TV all evening. I feel every evening is lost to braindead TV-watching/internet (mostly the latter), but if I do have more energy I don't seem able to put it to productive use: I just end up fidgety and restless instead.

So... not a great day. @Ivy - I should really reply to your email. I hope you can forgive me if I leave it until tomorrow now. I'm in such a dreary frame of mind. I'm gonna log off and aim for an earlier night: I just think crappy sleep has been partly doing me in. Last night was bad.
