The Importance of Being Idle

Rollercoaster Of Dizzy!

If I thought the last few days had been bad, I had no idea what was in store for me today. Literally everything has been difficult, even lying down with my eyes closed has afforded me no respite, 'cos I have just felt like crap!
I tried to sleep in this morning (which I don't like to do, I like to get up when or before Ronnie does, so it doesn't seem like I lie in bed all day when she's out earning a crust), but Archie would have none of it; as soon as Ronnie had gone he was crying and wailing and he seemed to want absolutely nothing. It didn't take long for me to give up, stagger downstairs and get a cuppa and admit that I was awake whether I liked it or not. Archie vanished up stairs, and promptly went to sleep on the bed!
I spent most of the day sitting or lying on the sofa, with my eyes closed listening to the TV, or snoozing, or trying to read a magazine (the words were all blury and moved about a lot though!), with my head swimming and an astonishing feeling of being on a rollercoaster when I was sitting perfectly still! When I got up to make some lunch (I had toast!) Archie came downstairs and stole my place on the sofa!
This evening we went into town for karaoke night, so I could get out and about a bit, and see some people. I was feeling like crap, but I wanted to at least make the effort, so I got myself pretty (pretty wobbly!) and sorted my hair out, and away we went. It was a bit of a magical mystery tour as lots of the roads into town were closed, but we got there in the end! Unfortunately, as it transpired nobody was out anyway, so we took a little walk through the town and looked at the Christmas lights (I liked the blue strings on all the trees!), before coming home and me writing this. This is proving pretty unpleasant too, but I don't have my glasses on so I can't really see the screen anyway, which I think is actually going some way to lessen the effects!
Here's hoping tomorrow is a better day.
