A rather lazy day today in many ways. I could have taken the dogs out for a walk this morning, but chose not too...instead went back to bed for a little while after I had my breakfast. Not sure what came over me really. I regret not going for a walk, as I have since felt sluggish and unmotivated all day. I think the walk wakes me up properly and gets the oxygen flowing through the blood so much better and thus you feel more energised. I need to remember this when I don't feel like going out.
There has been lots I should have been getting on with but didn't, although I did indulge in a little sewing and made a mini quilt for Morag. It is pretty basic, I haven't quilted in quite a while so went for a simple design.
Last night I knitted a 'Squirrel' Dishcloth. I like to make sure I have a few 'new' ones set aside when I feel like knitting them. These dishcloths must have saved me a lot of money over the years since I started making them, as I never buy dish wash clothes or sponges anymore.
I keep waking in the early hours of the morning and once I wake, my stomach starts churning and my mind goes on overdrive, worrying about various things which is really annoying.
Sometimes we just need to have a day off, so please don't feel bad about it.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about churning in the early hours! I would toss and turn for hours, feeling sick with anxiety and giving myself a headache. Now I get up and make a cup of tea, read a book or do a puzzle for around an hour, and then find I can go back to sleep. Trouble with that is, it is now a habit and I get up around 2am every morning! Hope things come right for you soon. Mxx
Yes that is what I have started doing...if I don't fall back to sleep relatively quickly, I now get up, make a cup of tea, warm up the heat packs and then read for a little while until I am sleepy again.
DeleteThe quilt is adorable. I quilt on a big scale so can appreciate the intricacy of what's gone into yours. Sorry to hear you're not sleeping well. I hope whatever is causing you worry and anxiety is sorted very soon. Take care of yourself. xx
ReplyDeleteI used to quilt on a big scale to. I miss the quilting groups I belonged to but had to stop going a few years ago now. I hope I find another group perhaps in the new year.
DeleteThank you for your kind words.
