Tuesday I wake up in the spare room late. It was the only way I could get comfortable but I wake up feeling decidedly ropey. My partner brings me a coffee about ten o’clock and I make the effort to get up. I make it to the sofa and settle in. I am not good for anything as I’m still in my post injection zombie state not helped I suspect by the flu jab. I nestle down and then binge watch the Good Place all the way to the end. In a burst of energy I make soup for lunch, clear the kitchen and put the bins out and bring the car back onto the drive. That’s all I can manage and spend the afternoon drifting and then watching football. The high light was the arrival of my new David Sedaris book set. I now have brain food for a while once I can get myself together to read them.

In the evening I eat, watch football, have hot flushes, take my night meds and draft the blog before once again clearing the kitchen. I finally take myself to bed in the spare room to try and rest. I am hopeful that tomorrow I may feel a bit more chipper and get some time in the Shed to write to friends, I’m feeling neglectful of them.
