thanking some-trouble...

I just love the layout of this diary! It totally rocks.

A big big thank you to some-trouble, who created it especially for me.

How much patience does this girl have? I'm so picky that this poor girl had to go back to the drawing board THREE times before I was happy. (Sorry Some-Trouble but it was well worth it! It's fab fab faaaaaaab!)

I'm feeling pretty awful today. Glands are up and eyes feel like they're sinking into their sockets. But I'm in good spirits all the same!

Yesterday I had a blinding day. Those of you who know me know that I am pretty much housebound. But when I get a rare good patch I manage to go out for a few minutes - say to the post office or the doctors or some other exciting venu lol

And believe me when you don't go out, going to sainsbury's is a really exciting trip out! Honestly! Sad I know lol

I guess that's one thing this condition gives you - appreciation for the smaller things in life.

Anyway as I was saying - urm - where was I? Oh yes - my boyfriend came round unexpectedly and came with me to the post office (yes that old favourite dating venue lmbo).

Unfortunately he never sees me because I'm too weak to go out - maybe once or twice every two months if he's lucky but we've been three months without seeing each other - he's got the patience of a saint!

And I don't really manage to phone him much since having a telephone conversation drains me alot of the time. I find that when I am tired I have to look at a person's face and lips when they talk so it's easier for me to understand what they are saying. So telephone conversations require a lot more energy...

... if you suffer from chronic fatigue you'll know what I'm talking about lol

Anyway he got a take away and we came back and had lunch with my sister. For me - thats like the best day out I've had in over a year - I kid you not! I just don't have the energy to go out at all and if I do, I certainly pay for it in the following weeks.

Needless to say I probably will suffer for my little outing yesterday but I don't care. It was well worth it.

Anyways I'm off to have my lunch (at 8.50 in the morning lol).
