Tonight, I have had the most amazing dinner. Green, Red, Yellow peppers, lots of extra virgin olive oil, spring onions, Spanish onion, tamari sauce, fine egg noodles and lots and lots of finely grated fresh ginger. Even grating my own knuckle and the ensuing, incessant bleeding could not spoil my delicious meal.
The last two weeks have been pretty bad in work. Major system failure, ensuing rigorous testing, fourteen hour days for the last ten. I've been trying my best to cope with the stress, the hours, not sleeping and the not eating actual meals, but you know me Col. I managed to retain my cool until Wednesday, (T-9 days) when I realised I was being a little clippy, that's got to be a record for this Leo don't you think?
Tonight, even the incessant bleeding of the knuckle can't spoil these hours. My body aches in places I have long forgotten about, I am tired beyond description. I know that I used to be able to function for longer, on less, and that Super Hero's like doctor's, somehow manage to assail ridiculous hours, but my body, my brain, my heart (judging by my Blood Pressure monitor,) have all been stretched for the past couple of weeks.
It's Saturday today. About two weeks after the work catastrophe. Left to right, that area straddling my should blades is crying out. I think it's because I've been pretty much glued in desk position for the past two weeks. If I die today, they will have to construct a coffin to incorporate the seated at a desk position.
I'm on a water meter and I understand that water is not only costly but precious. Still, I had such an ache this weekend, I decided that, for probably the first time in around eight years, I would indulge in a bath.
God it was amazing. I used Epsom salts and lavender oil. I took with me, my iPod and sang my heart out giving my best Julia Roberts's, Pretty Woman impersonation. It was so relaxing and my skin was so soft afterwards, my heart... so relived.
