Also, spider sightings today: 5!!
huff – you know what, I am tired of bad news. What strikes me as unique from these past few months is not just the lying down all day, but the number of times I’ve given myself til midnight, til the next day, next week, to get over something. Here’s todays: Dear Billygean I know …
Afterwards, I sent 7 hysterically celebrating texts that I’d been to the supermarket!
“I’ll make you a Chinese,” MindReader had said in response to my food cravings. I had found him a recipe, given him a list. “Actually, I’ll come,” I had said casually. “You won’t know if some of the stuff is gluten free.” I did not reveal my private hopes. The car journey took longer than …
Where you see I am not just painfully honest on my blog but also to my boyfriend!
MindReader and I are lying on our backs outside under the stars. Well, I am sort of on his shoulder, because the ground is cold. “I’m sorry I’m so – urgh – needy,” I say, idly watching a blinking star peeking out from behind my house. “It’s fine,” he says, relaxed as ever. “It’s more …
AND the caffeine headache has gone!
Gosh, here is a big public thank you to GlutenFreeComputerGeek who has just sent me a huge parcel containing: Chocolate tea 2 x gluten free dairy free chocolate buttons Dairy free FUDGE, which I hadn’t even considered how much I would miss fudge and now I do not need to! Dairy free (etc) brownie Digestive …
On boyfriends
I curl up on the sofa with a hot mug of decaf soya tea. Well, it was almost perfect. “I think everyone would benefit from seeing a psychologist,” Lucy is saying. Lucy is my best friend in the whole world, and she dates a lovely boy called Ben. I don’t usually blog about her because …
Reasons to believe my gluten-dairy-free almond macaroons are going to be disgusting:
1. The instructions said “put an egg white into a bowl and whisk until it forms frothy peaks but is not stiff.” So, I put an egg white into a bowl, removed the shell, and whisked it. For half an hour. Egg white remained yellow piss-like liquid and did not become frothy or peaky. 2. …
A lot of news
Hi! Sorry this is going to be boring. But if I do not update like this, my blogs will have no context, and you’ll be all like, why is she drinking rice milk?! 1. MadFather has been made redundant, and I have been refused benefits THREE TIMES because apparently there are loopholes even when you …
Thanking
Well. Since I published my email the other day I have had 26 reader emails. Life stories from their own experiences of M.E/post viral fatigue to questions about what my politcal views are to advice on how to not get down whilst am in bed on the sofa. It is honestly an honour. So: thank …
How to: placate me
MadFather and I are in a bookshop, just before closing so the aisles are cool and empty. This is, of course, huge progress given my propensity to browse in book stores so do not tell The Glands. MadFather silently points to a yellow book. I shriek and pick it up. “Living with M.E or post …
Announcement/begging for email
Hi! I have added my email at the top there (F5 and ctrl if you can’t see it) and have added a LAMB BAA-ING sound to my outlook for when I get email. So, if you ever want to talk privately, you can, with added baa-ing sounds! BG
