Songs and Spinnings

November 2009

OK, enough with the moping. Disappointment officially dealt with.

I got a pretty good night's sleep last night (thank you, O ye Nurofen gods!), and woke up actually able to flex my hip voluntarily to a certain extent this morning (yesterday I could lift my leg *with* my hands, but it really didn't want to move on its own), which suggests strongly that it's not actually injured, it's just coming to the tail end of a well-justified strike action. So this is all good news.

And I figure that since I've organised a blissful full-week stint of R&R off work for myself, the only person I'm hurting or taking from by wasting it letting the moping go on longer than it needs to is myself - and every minute I spend uselessly wishing things had been different or angsting over what I could have done differently is a minute I don't get to spend enjoying myself in the here and now.

So. I have a little unpacking to finish - I thought I'd done it all last night, but forgot that I still had a fish bin of stuff out in the lounge. And after that, there's a Dresden Files book to finish (which - ooops! - I've allowed to become overdue), and frakloads of DVDs to watch. And there's nommy healthy food to eat, and a self to pamper.

So really? It's looking like being a good week :-)

Hugs and more balanced blessings

Didn't take codeine last night (decided I was going to wait till I needed it). Didn't cough at all. Granted, my throat was scratchy and proto-cough-y just as I was about to turn out the lights, but a bit of a Kurol seemed to manage that enough for me to get to sleep... and then it was morning and my phone was chirping because it was low on battery.

Huh.

Maybe it *is* on the mend (the cough, not the phone - that's plugged in and recharging)?

No. Bad Starfire hope-y mechanism thing. It is what it is. Nothing more, nothing less

And what it is, after all, at this stage, is having had another full (well, it was short, but that was for *fun* reasons, and it was uninterrupted) night's sleep.

So Starfires will do themselves the favour of focussing on that, and being grateful for it, and leaving the big questions of 'is the cough getting better overall?' to sort themselves out, yes?

Good Starfire. Have a pat on the head and a hot chocolate in reward ;-)
