My knee has uncomfortable today but nothing like the pain a few days ago, so all good.
Itās been another strange day in between Christmas and New Year.
I donāt really want to do anything but Iām bored by doing nothing.
Itās still torrential rain, the wind isnāt that strong first thing but it picks up again later on in the day. It feels like it never really gets light. I miss the blue sky and sunshine.
Again I sound like Iām complaining but itās actually been a really nice dayā¦ indoors.
We went for a food shop together today. We got lots in for the next few days. The use by dates arenāt great so weāll have to go back out before New Yearās Day. Most stuff was dated until Saturday.
I changed the bed when we got backā¦.Clean sheets tonight! I did two loads of washing, put clothes away and tidied out Craigās wardrobeā¦. As you do. It was stressing me out! š
Other than that is been another āmeā dayā¦ chilling with my book and the puppers.
I love the light of the Christmas tree and the candles but youāve gathered that by now, havenāt you?!
I saw this and thoughtā¦. Absolutely!!
So feet up on the couch for me again. Dogs are shattered, theyāre all sound asleep!
I should say that Iām not complaining but I donāt do lazy or correction, rest days easily.
Despite lying around reading a book, I do have spells of guilt but it passes pretty quickly.
I have had a lot of social interaction these last few days. I am in desperate need of a day of silenceā¦.
I literally had no idea what to do today. I didnāt wake up until 9.15am. That doesnāt happen often.
I feel like Iām in some exhausted slump. It doesnāt help that, between the progesterone, I slept like a log but I woke every time I moved my knee through the night.
I came downstairs and lay on the couch with the dogs curled up on me and at my feet.
With the other two just across the way.
The weather doesnāt help. Itās dismal todayā¦. Itās rained all day and everything is wet and sodden looking, the dogs are soaked from being outside. They prefer to be inside.
Iām reading this back and I sound down in the dumps. I am actually not. Iāve had the loveliest of days, just not doing what I expected to be doing.
Iām using lots of my Christmas presents alreadyā¦.. I seem unable to live without my electric hot water bottle and Iāve been unable to put down Matthew Perryās memoirā¦ Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.
Itās such a fascinating read. Iāve been really drawn to his trouble with addiction, since he died this year. I wish I knew then what I know now. The poor guy never really stood a chance. He was great at helping others but just could not beat it himself.
Cookie the Chihuahua came to visit for a couple of hours as my in-laws had a funeral to attend. I got lots of Cookie cuddles!
Watch out Julie Five Dogsā¦. No Craig, just noā¦ not ever!!! šš this is the best photo I got of them altogether.
Cookie who hates the rain went straight outside and didnāt seem to care.
Until Khaleesi did a big excited woof woof and she was off!!
Pretty girl.
I managed to get a call with a Doctor about my knee today and he asked to see them at 4.25. Itās actually been a lot less excruciating todayā¦ of course it has but I still need to get it checked as that was way too sore.

So turns out that itās just inflamed tendons around my knee causing the pain. Rest, ibuprofen and paracetamol are the answer with Physio booked for Friday 5th January.
Iāve had physio on my other knee and know that it hurts but also know that it does help!
I love this next one and I hope that I am able to help others after everything I have been through. I hope no one ever feels as bad as I felt for no real reason other than my head told me I wasnāt enough.
You can overcome that mountain tooā¦. Or at the very least, make peace with it.
