Midnight feasts

Typical.  M.E has rendered me unable to sleep due to the pain, and I find myself blogging at 3.25 am, a cup of tea and bar of choccy by my side! The painkillers I took at 2 ish haven't kicked in and my dilemma is, do I take something to top them up and risk being groggy in the morning, or just go with the flow.  I need some sleep cos of work, four hours so far is def not enough, but I don't want to be "swimmy headed".  Oh decisions, decisions.  My ever faithful dawgie has come downstairs with me.  For those of you who think it may be cupboard love, he didn't know I had a bar of choccy sneakily hidden from the children in the fridge.  The chocolate was in the fridge, not the children! I may be sneaky as a Mum, but I am not cruel.  My fingers turned into sausages on Sunday, and now they have white blotchy bits , probably where the skin is overstretched - nice attractive picture, huh?  Someone should invent a whole body hot water bottle.  That would be fab, all your painful,achey joints catered for in one fell swoop.  I like that idea immensly. No more having to decide which area to put the heat onto first.  You should be able to lie on it without it being uncomfortable too.  Inventors, get onto it :o)

I can report a bit of good news, the BlackBerry dowload has been sorted!  A media card was needed.  Something so simple, yet caused so much brainpower!  I would like to hereby thank Angela for coming round and lending us a card and showing us how to upload/download onto it.  I have ordered one, so the next step will be showing us how to transfer the five million songs Rich has loaded onto it to the new one.  Bless him.  He asked if he could download a song from itunes, and downloaded seven!!!!  He really does believe that the bank has an endless supply of money they just give you for free!  No matter how many times I try and explain an overdraft he just won't grasp the concept.

Rich found an article that made me laugh.  A circus hippo accidentally swallowed a dwarf!  Apparently, the dwarf was on a trampoline and somehow jumped off it sideways, falling into the open mouth of the hippo as it was yawning.  The hippo swallowed, thereby ending the short life of the dwarf (!).  The trampoline was taken away by forensic police.  Honestly, I love things like this to get me going.  I have said before I have a strange sense of humour!

I am going back to bed, feeling sick now due to too much choccy.  Serves me right for being a pig!  I had swine flu a while back, and since then haven't been able to eat much chocolate, so half a bar of galaxy is now one of those things I really don't want to remember eating.  Oh god, its all sloshing around with a mug of tea.  Ewwwwwwww.  Never thought I would see the day I couldn't consume  chocolate!

Night peeps, just be thankful you are not one of my patients tomorrow, and if by some cruel twist of fate you find you are, treat me gently and I will return the favour! xx
