I can’t cope

Turns out the pain relief I took keeps me awake! If I had the energy I would clean my house so it’s something I don’t have to do.

I think I know what is wrong. I think I have Covid. I took a test but they are out of date and I think I’m at the back end of it. While I’m exhausted, the exhaustion the last few days has been extreme. It’s been so so bad. My headache won’t go with anything I take. I have a sore throat and my clothes feel heavy. All the signs I’ve had before. I’m actually and hoping that it’s Covid as that means it will pass and I don’t have to stress with what is wrong with me. I’ll just have to give it a couple of more days.

Morning @Captain24 sweet, how are you feeling? Have you been able to get any sleep?

I'm sorry you're feeling so unwell but I'm glad you got sent home from work so you could rest. Sending lots of love and hugs ❤️.

I feel terrible @MissGremlin. I didn’t get any sleep. Turns out the pain killers I took keep me awake! I’m exhausted.

I have thoroughly cleaned the kitchen, done a load of washing and the second load is on. Ive thoroughly cleaned the ensuite just have to do the shower and shower screen whenever I get the chance to shower and wash my hair!

Now I’m on to the main bathroom and then I want to frame the diamond arts. Then do the floors as I’ll make a mess.

I think I have Covid. Well I’m pretty sure I do!

How did you sleep?

@Captain24 oh sweet, I'm sorry you've not been able to get any sleep. Have the pain killers at least helped with the headache?

I can't believe how much you've done, I'm glad you've been able to keep busy though as I know it helps.

Covid sucks so I'm hoping that you start to feel better soon. The first time I had it, it was only mild but the second time seemed to hit so much harder.

I've had a little bit of sleep but it's been very disturbed. I'm only sleeping for a few minutes at a time then waking up and having to get back to sleep again.

They did for a bit but they have worn off now. @MissGremlin. I think I’ll take a couple more and see if I can finish what I’m doing. I’m so exhausted though. I could just lay in bed but sleep isn’t agreeing with me.

I would like to get it all done by the dogs breakfast time but I think that’s pushing it so maybe about an hour after. There’s 5 pictures to frame!!!

That’s so hard. My app said I got an hour and a half of disrupted sleep! I wish you could get some more sleep. Are you up now or just laying trying to get more sleep?

@Captain24 maybe you can lay down and have a nap today, well I'm hoping you can.

You've still got a bit to do, just take it slowly sweet.

That's definitely not enough sleep and I know how much of a toll not getting enough has. I'm just laying in bed as I can't get up yet. There's a silly rat under my bed that's driving me nuts but it's avoiding all the traps in the house.

I hope so. I should have been able to sleep. But I guess it is what it is. @MissGremlin

I can’t remember we how many times I’ve had Covid. It’d be around 10 or 11. Usually it gets worse each time. I seem to have copped a good dose of it. That means I did extremely well the last 2 nights to actually get to work and especially stay the whole night. I would have stayed last night except my boss wouldn’t let me. If he hadn’t have seen me I would have.

Oh. They are so annoying and you can’t put baits anywhere! We had a mouse plague 5 years ago when I moved in and I got those snake deterrent sticks and that stopped them coming into my house. A girl at work set up a bucket trap around the corner and was getting over 50 a day. I got the keys to my house 5 years ago yesterday!

Laying in bed sounds good. I just couldn’t do it.

@Captain24 it's frustrating when you should have been able to sleep but couldn't. Really hoping you can later though sweet.

I've only had it 2-3 times somehow my brain actually can't remember 😂. You definitely did well to still go to work despite feeling so crappy but I'm glad the boss sent you home so you can at least rest (or clean in your case 😂).

I never usually have an issue with them coming in but I think this one snuck in when my back door was left open while I was away. It's just proving impossible to catch and I'm worried about how much damage it's doing, there's also no food source for it that it can access. Wow 5 years since you got your keys, that's awesome ☺️.

I just had a cuppa and now I'm sitting on my bed, I'm feeling so tired and my body is sore. I need to make a trip into spotlight today but I'm not sure whether to go before lunch or after. Oh I finished my diamond art last night, the whole row of 3 sections 😂.

I’ve framed my diamond arts and fed the dogs. Just have to wait for my towels to finish washing. I’m not doing the floors until later. I feel sick, my head hurts and I’m tired. @MissGremlin

I had rats at a place that I lived in when I lived in the coast. They ate a hole in the wall! I don’t know how they got in unless the hole was them coming in! I lived opposite a railway line.

Yay for finishing your diamond art! A cuppa would have been good. Spotlight is expensive, it always costs me a lot of money! At least I only go twice a year. What works better with your rest time? Use that to make your decision!

@Captain24 well done sweet. I'm sorry you're not feeling good, are you able to either sit or lay down? Even if you can't sleep just resting is better than nothing at the moment.

They honestly chew through anything! I blocked a hole up the other day but this one is moving around the house so it's hard to know where it is but there's multiple traps set so I'm hoping to catch it soon. There's alot of rats and mice around at the moment and alot of neighbours here have fruit trees.

The cuppa was nice. Might see if I can start a new diamond art today or at least sort out the gems for one. I don't go to spotlight very often but yes it can get expensive very quickly 😂. My whole routine has been thrown out cos of the long weekend which technically starts today for me. It's not really going to matter when I go out just as long as I'm here for lunchtime.
