Gug... Non-sewing so far...

Posted by Kate XXXXXX on July 23, 2009, 8:47 am

I hate waking up at 1:00am, 2:00am, 3:30am, and getting up in
frustration at 4:00am...

Long drink of cold fruit squash helped a bit... Got on with fiddling
with and printing out some patterns for projects:

M, L & XL hooded kagoul with kangaroo pocket and short front zip: I may
be making 10 in each size in olive drab parachute fabric - chopping up
parachutes that are used once and surplus to army requirements (probably
because it costs more to get them repacked than it does to buy in new!)

Shelby pullover pattern for the GMNT to make fleece pullovers: dark red
and black... He needs them for camp. NOT making trousers this time, I
don't think. Hm... Maybe some joggers in thin stuff. Actually, I've
tracked down some at Asda, for a tenner a chuck, so if they fit it isn't
worth me making them.

Wedding gown patterns: Two to do. One for the autumn, one for next
August...

I also put some washing in the washer, a load in the dryer, had some
breakfast, cuddled a cat, and then went back to bed to doze fittfully
and wake at 10 with a headache to add to the rest.

Bah!

Fed up.

I really, really hate nights like that. Nothing ever goes right the next day
either. I usually just give it up, paint my toenails and call that enough
productivity for the day.

Hope you sleep better tonight.

Nice long warm bath? It may be all that "needs doing"
spinning around in your head that repeatedly wakes you.

Warm bath??? I'm COOKING!

Part of the problem is the fibro: I'm going through a rather bad patch
with that at the moment, and it isn't helped by the temperatures (at one
am it's 23 degrees here in the living room), and the hormone triggered
night-time hot flashes alternating with the fibro-triggered cold flashes.

The to-do's only get worrying when I can't do them: the mind is more
than willing, but the flesh is NOT cooperating. Pain in hips, back,
knees and elbows keeping me awake, and a sensation like red hot wires
coated in sharp sand and acid running from my fingers up throu8gh the
wrists to the elbows.

And now I have a head ache from being awake for the best part of 23
hours, with the odd 20 minute doze here and there when I went back to
bed this morning.

Like I said: bah! ;)
