January 2026
Abwalk to start the year off, up to the top of Kilvey Hill, coughed up green gunk which felt good.
Went to bed early as was feeling down.
2nd: Woke up in the early hours in floods of tears, think I was thinking about my Dad and the scattering of his ashes, seem to also remember thinking of Mum at some point in the night.
Been feeling down and achy most of today, don't think it will be too long before I return to my pillow and duvet.
I need to pop to the shop but right now I can't be bothered..... NOT a good start to 2026 is it?
3rd: Woke up to a dusting of snow.... it sure is cold but pretty. Very achy this morning, and feeling down.
4th: Things to chase up this week with the solicitor and estate agent, also with the hospital about my Ankylosyn Spondylitis (by now should have been on new injections), and need to speak to the doctor. Also got eye appointment.
Lets get through Sunday first, feeling achy and a bit sick.
Need to deal with Dad's ashes too.... getting dragged down with them being here.
5th: Was so snug in my ved this morning I had a lay in, more snow fell in the night, but just a sprinkle, and that froze. Back and neck hurting and left knee is weak.
I cant have any form of operation as my knees are not bad enough 😔 and as for my back they seem reluctant to do anything to it - it really gets me at times.
6th: Fed up of the freeze, aching all over and a building headache to boot. Bed early for me.
7th: Not too good this morning, feeling sick and sore from head to toe, back and neck in agony. At least it's not freezing!
8th: Woken up by something but not sure what exactly, but seem to hear sort of pain signals in my head but can't feel any, maybe I should have a gabapentin and see if I can get more sleep? after all it's 4am.
Bit achy and groggy today, but have an eye appointment at the hospital today and then can't drive for a while after it.
Well had my eye appointment, don't have to go back for a year.
9th: 4:10am - Woke up feeling sick, and with my whole body feeling like crap. 5am- Was just sick, now I feel cold and shaky, back under the duvet I go.
I've been struggling getting in to the bath for a shower lately, almost slipping or falling.
10th: Why has my body decided to wake me up? I'm feeling exhausted, my bed looks like a tornado has landed on it, need to make the bed and get back in it! too early to get up. My neck is killing, shoulders too.
11th: Up early to go up to Mid Wales to pick Hannah and Nero up. Neck achy and feeling an achy left side.
Got stuck getting up to where Hannah was, had a nice gentleman dig me out of compacted snow ice - im stressed but am turned around and on better road surface.
In dire need of a strong tea with three sugars!
Snow is nice to look at awful to get stuck in!
Sure was nice to be with Nero again, I've missed this dog.
12th: Good night's sleep at the Travelodge in central Burton Upon Trent, thinking I may need a new mattress, my mattress is about eight years old, maybe I will wait until I've moved? Nero been to the vets today, so decided to stop extra night up here to make sure he is ok and Hannah too.
13th: Long drive back, another good night's sleep, really loving Travelodge's beds, also their shower gel. Stopped in a few places on way back, got back home had decent cup of tea.
14th: Fell asleep on sofa, so very neck and back achy. Catching up on TV today, think an early night. I must get my mind round to scattering my Dad's ashes.
15th: Was in bed by 11pm, been a restless night, slept for a bit, but mostly awake moving from side to side, had a plan to scatter Dad's ashes today, but lack of sleep may have made that a non starter, feel shattered.
16th: Think I am caught up on sleep, maybe I could do with a little bit more. Apparently it's going to be a wet weekend. A bit achy but am ok-ish. Not much on tv, so may just watch some old stuff on Amazon, Disney+ or STV Player.
17th: Feeling cold this morning, not too sure why, also a bit achy too. Heating pad is on.
