4am Start

I awoke at 4am today and couldn’t really get back to sleep, fibromyalgia pain off the scale. Fatigue has been awful.

I went back to bed for a little while and sat up having a coffee and breakfast. 

I ended back in bed for the majority of the day except to make food and visit the loo. Drained. Hoping just a bad day as I have a lot on the rest of this week and next. 

I didn’t sleep much back in bed but rested  with music on, only got four hours sleep last night so this will be a short entry today.

Today’s Blip pic is of a blanket I picked up for a fiver a while ago, been resting with it and heat pads. I have a lot of blankets, throws and pyjamas of varying weight and warmth - I think it’s a fibro thing!

I was delighted to see that I’ve had my first donation to my July Samarathon challenge in aid of the local branch of The Samaritans when I looked at my fundraiser progress this evening.

I’m very grateful that I chose not to have children as most of my friends are trying to entertain their kids with the onset of the school Summer holidays - I have given a couple of close friends a few ideas. 

I think there’s a lot of competitive parenting occurs - in my experience, kids are happiest playing and don’t need pricey days out to places. It must be a lot of pressure on parents and on children who aren’t as fussed for trailing around such places.

Hope you’ve all had a lovely Monday :)
