And I think it's gonna be... all right...

Last night I knocked myself out with codeine and valium. Not getting a decent night's sleep for a week was doing my head in. I was tired, grumpy, snappy and had the attention span of a gnat. I was also well and truly sick of being in pain. So I tried something different last night - instead of the hot water bottles I've been using I put my sausage heat pack under my back, right under the troublesome vertebrae that's been the cause of this malarky, and by Jove I think it did something!

I woke up this morning feeling a world of difference. My back is still a little tender and movement is still a bit restricted, but it feels different.It could be the lingering effects of codeine, but it's been more than 10 hrs so I think not. I think my new sleeping arrangement shifted something and perhaps now my back will start to heal and life can get back to normal. Happy thoughts indeed!


Pansies from a few years back. I didn't get a chance to plant them this year, which is probably a good thing considering the crazy weather.

Silly drivelly quiz thingo

Queen of procrastination

My apologies for spamming your Friends page

I am snowed under with work and need to really put my head down to get things done. I'm working from home as it's easier with the back and means I'm not continuously stuck sitting in front of the computer. Looks like I'll be working over the weekend as I've done bugger all today!

I wandered outside for a quick stretch of the legs and back and noticed the light was glorious! So I grabbed my camera to take advantage of it and snap a few pictures. My neighbour's lavender patch caught my eye and before I knew it I'd taken almost an entire film's worth of lavender and assorted lavender-loving insects. I also have a little bouquet of the stuff on my desk :-)

I've taken about a film and a halfs' worth of pictures in a week. Time to seriously look at going digital...
