Insert witty title here->
So, yesterday I had a really bad day because I had very little sleep the night before thanks to my stupid back. I was mostly competent at work but rather fell to pieces when I got home and went straight for a nice lie down with a book that turned into a nice nap.
Then Mum had to wake me up from that nap. Remember the episodes of West Wing where someone has to wake the President and they don't want to because he'll be very grumpy?
That's me when woken from naps. Grumpy. Uncooperative. Horrible. Poor Mum.
Today I'm feeling better thanks to the application of drugs last night. I've moved the bottle of co-codamol to beside my bed rather than in the kitchen to make it easier to dose myself the moment I get woken by my back rather than trying to keep sleeping and then waking up every few minutes the way I did the other night. Argh.
In less grumpy news...
I bought a new coat. I've got a lovely warm coat that goes down to my knees and is terrific when I'm out in the freezing weather or shovelling or trying to walk in a snow storm. It's got a big hood, deep pockets and it's big enough to fit a thick sweater under.
It's also deeply ugly and makes me look scruffier than a very scruffy thing.
New coat is not quite so warm, so won't be suitable for storms or shovelling, but it's got a furry collar and it looks very nice so I won't be embarrassed to turn up at work functions, dinners out or off-site meetings in it. Yay! It's long, beige and sort of trench-coat like with a belt. But stylish. I'm very pleased. There's enough room to layer up under it (damn, I'm getting thin - the medium had tons of room!) so I shouldn't be frozen and I feel much more confident in it :-)
Also, my iPad was despatched yesterday. Wooooo!
Finally,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
