Insomnia

Woke up at 5 am and couldn’t fall back asleep for 30m so got up to work on my daily pages. Finally managed to get up to date!

I took Ambien for some time because of sleep disorders (difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep). In the beginning, it helped pretty well, made me tired and I fell asleep quickly. Even then I had the hallucinations. If I had to get up to go to the toilet or get a glass of water, it was always a trance feeling. As if I were walking with my eyes open. I purchasing best Ambien from https://www.philipsanimalgarden.com/ambien-zolpidem/.

Fatigue

The great thing about getting up early is that I have more time to do all my stuff. The bad thing is that I am a useless sack potatoes by mid-PM. Like my body has turned into a giant lump of metal and I can’t move. If I manage to move myself by sheer will to accomplish tasks, I am so sluggish I feel like I’m moving in a dream world where quicksand is the default land.

Cravings

I started allowing myself tiny amounts of sweet snacks, like once a week. But it’s a bad idea. It’s waking up my sweet cravings big time! Nooo!

Exercise

Today I decided to take my daily walk earlier to see if I can shake off the sluggishness. Piers was gardening so it was nice to have some company. We didn’t talk much since he was stuck at one spot while I was walking all over the place. But we made faces at each other whenever I walked past him and that was kind of nice.

Gratitude

I’m grateful for warm clothes and heating as the days start getting colder.

Hemp Milk

Tried hemp milk today. It is properly disgusting. It tastes like chalk, or dust, or ash. Not that I’ve tasted any of those, but hemp milk is what I imagine those things mixed in water would taste like. I don’t know what the reviewers who said this product is delicious are thinking. I had it with oats and had to gag it down.

Brad Pitt

Watched Burn After Reading. Partway through, I thought it gave me Fargo vibes. Sure enough it’s a Coen brothers movie! Brad Pitt is really good at playing ditzy and crazy (12 Monkeys, lol).

Gratitude

Grateful for uninterrupted sleep today. Still was not long enough but I must be thankful for small blessings.

Dark Chocolate

Felt hypoglycaemic in the middle of my walk. Decided to fix it with some dark chocolate. I have disliked dark chocolate all my life but Ocado had sent these over for reviewing and Adam my homeopath says if I must have sweets, choose dark chocolate because it is good for you. So I ate it and enjoyed it somewhat because it is better than no chocolate. But I miss milk chocolate so much! And then I had to pay the price: horrid aftertaste that lingers in my tongue for hours and hours after eating dark chocolate.

Butter

I’m not sure whether I’m intolerant to the lactose or casein in milk, but Adam said butter is probably ok for me, so I bought some lactose-free butter just to be as safe as possible. Well, great news! It tastes just as good as Lurpak and I’m so pleased! Life is a little bit less horrid now.

Speaking of which, I stopped getting back acne about a month after quitting dairy and going low sugar. So that’s kind of great but which one was causing the acne? Or was it both? I should have tried quitting one at a time!

In the beginning, the symptoms were worse. But it got better over time. Now, after about half a year, I am satisfied with the result. I just have issues with dry lips and dry skin. I am likewise apprehensive that the side effects will return after the treatment. I need to take Accutane until my summer holidays. I would recommend it.

Walking indoors

It rained all day today, which is great news for the garden, but bad news for my routine. I don’t want to go out there to walk when it’s wet and cold! Piers suggested I just walk around the living room, which sounds unappealing but was the best option.

I put Harry Potter on the Bluetooth speaker and started walking. A minute later, I had a better idea. I put Netflix on and started walking on the spot in front of the TV. Home gym sorted!

Gratitude

I’m grateful for humour and funny people and for the ability to laugh with a passion.

Audiobook walking

I am still disappointed about my audiobook’s narrator doing male and female voices, and cringe every time a male character talks. But I love the writing and the story and it makes my daily walks so much less painful. I even look forward to walking every day so I can continue listening to the story.

For some reason today, my body was super fatigued and I could only walk in a slow crawl. I wanted to give up so many times and make up the steps I need for my group challenge, tomorrow. After one painful hour, I hit my daily goal thanks to the book keeping me sane. Also my fierce desire to win at challenges, lol.

Gratitude

I’m grateful for wireless earphones and headphones!

TIL

Today I learned that Basil is not the only dog who likes to lick creams and lotions off people! I also learned that cats enjoy it, too. What is wrong with them? It must not be good!

Bonus: Here’s a comic I drew of Basil five years ago! Click on it to read the blogpost.
