Moose Is at Leopard's being Dark and Stormied!
Only very slightly hungover after a rather wonderful night at Leopard’s! And I got home injury-free!
So far have done:
GYM – intervals + 1K swim, had to get out of an otherwise empty pool to go- Wedding dress shopping as part of bridesmaid duties – dress has been decided on and we had a good laugh so that was all worthwhile!
Shopping – moisturiser, bras, goggles, swimsuit (after trying 6 on in the shop which I think has to be a record!)
Need to do:
order shopping for tomorrow- update Progress Journal
- laundry & sort gymkit
- update/charge ipod
Would like to do:
- sit and update 43T/journal for a while and watch the rain falling outside the window
- start work on the song arrangement for T’s wedding

Slept a lot better last night. Maybe things are getting better. Fortunately this meant that DH got a good night’s sleep too.
Still some things Bt/fwd on my list – but best to pace myself as I heal properly. Everything is such a big effort to achieve right now, and my right leg is impossible to get comfortable.
- Home accounts. I transferred some money over yesterday and paid the CC bills – but I still need to do the reconciliations, and update the spend. At least the CC people will not be charging interest and the bank account is not overdrawn even if I have no idea how things stand yet.
- Attempt to have a shower and wash my hair – not sure how I can do this yet, and whether upstairs shower or downstairs shower will be the easiest, but I will certainly feel a lot better if I can manage it. Worst case scenario is that I have becomed very skilled at sliding about on my bum, so I can sit on the shower floor, as long as DH can get me upright afterwards :)
- rest and recoup after all the above exertion.
Baby steps!!

I seem to be slipping into a routine…
- Take painkillers, wait for them to work while have cup of tea in bed, then hop to bathroom to get washed, dressed and presentable.
- Hop across landing to my office (which has added obstacle of two steps down) taking care not to slip downstairs en route
- Have breakfast at my desk (courtesy of DH)
- Spend the morning surfing and Getting Things Done, with as few bathroom trips as I can manage due to the aforementioned two steps.
- Have lunch at my desk (courtesy of DH)
- Hop back to bedroom and have some resty time on the bed snoozing and reading until workforce go home at 5pm
- get downstairs (assisted by DH and the HP brothers) by using the sliding down on bum method.
- Hop to sitting room and sit, watch TV, have dinner (thanks to DH again), and again minimising bathroom breaks due to tricky step between sitting room and hall
- About 10ish start the process of getting back upstairs to bed (which takes some time)
So I only have he GTD window in the mornings of a few hours to progess stuff.
- Bt/fwd – Call builder
- Change hosp appt, of all the days for my follow up it happens to be the one day DH has a meeting. Grrrr.
- Home accounts
- Orchestra admin

yay, yesterday was so ace! nearly wimped out of K’s book launch, but am so glad i didn’t. missed half of the readings, but was there for the postlaunch “hang around with groovy people drinking €1 beer in a bookshop and talk about festivals” bit. and then the four of us trannies went off for another beer… made it home at 2am, so slow getting going today.
and now i have to count how many books i acquired yesterday:
- 3 from the help-yourself-and-make-a-donation pile at chbg library while picking up the bicycle thieves
- 3 library books from stglz library before georgina harding reading
- 1 new signed g harding book (but that’s a present)
- 1 copy of K’s newly launched book (ditto)
- 4 2nd hand books of plays
ok, that’s 12. now i have to look in wednesday’s bag:
- another 6. all slim volumes, including plays and poetry and folk songs, but…
hmm, 18 books in 2 days, clearly the addiction is worsening. i’m afraid it’s all a bit symbolic apart from anything else. how long will it be until i have too much to read in my lifetime on my TBR pile? am probably nearly there.
right, today.
- ring MR in lux done, jeez, what a silly cow
- move arse to office done. ooooh, the sun’s shining and people are sitting outside cafés! in november!
- MO app done
- finish RK-Abrechnung done
- MK trans more done
- JO trans
- watch some alan ayckbourn done: table manners, v ace. cackled into my knitting.
- healthinessfulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllness not really, no
