I’m feeling so much better than I have been and my mood is great, but I’m still sore and tired. Yesterday was my last day on antibiotics which I’m thrilled about! I’ve been hanging about the house, too wiped out to get up to much but pottering around.

Yesterday I gamed for a couple of hours and killed something like 1,000 zombies, finishing the last level I had yet to achieve in Left for Dead 2. 🙂 It was very satisfying. I thought about gardening and decided I wasn’t up to it. I thought about cooking and looked through some recipes and decided I wasn’t up to that either. I had frozen fish and chips and peas for dinner. I looked up interesting rainbow coloured foods and clothes on the net to amuse myself. I got my new external DVD player out of its packaging and used it to install my backup copy of Microsoft Office 2010 onto my little netbook. I uninstalled various other useless programs from it, fiddled around with my modem when that stopped working, sat and admired the beautiful sunshine through my window with a cup of tea, read a bit more of a book about attachment and mindfulness, played with Sarsaparilla, tidied one of my studio desks, re-organised my ink samples into a larger box and colour coordinated them which was very enjoyable, arranged my nail polishes onto a bookshelf in rainbow colour order, thought about washing the dishes and changed my mind, had some lovely conversations on skype and facebook, considered going grocery shopping and put it tomorrow’s goal list, enjoyed wearing my favourite rainbow beanie and extra warm socks, watched Wallander and fell in love with Kurt, decided I’m going to watch Kenneth Branagh in Roman Polanski’s four hour movie of Hamlet again soon, and how much I love the empathy and compassion of poets, enjoyed some chocolate custard, and am going off to bed in a moment to read a Terry Pratchett novel, and journal, and sleep.
