I lost a chunk of today because of stormy weather. That means this post is late. Very late.<\/p>\n
Storms affect some folks more than others, and I am one of their number. I rested for ten minutes when everything hurt too much and I woke up two hours alter. This means the storms are long and enthusiastic. When they\u2019re sharp and socking, I get migraines. It\u2019s all a bit too exciting, to be honest.<\/p>\n
It took me a long time to discover that I (and a group of friends, likewise affected by storms) all have difficulties with inflammation. I\u2019ll know this lot of storms has passed when I suddenly lose over two kilograms of weight. That\u2019s about four and a half pounds for those who distrust metric measures. When there\u2019s weather like this I make jokes about rolling down hills rather than walking because the weight change is mostly around my legs and my middle.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve also been known to tease people who think I need to lose weight. I\u2019ve not encountered anyone today to whom I could say, with a high pretence of seriousness, that if they think I need to lost a lot of eight in a hurry, then they should drop in tomorrow. Today wouldn\u2019t\u2019ve been a good day for this joke anyhow, as tomorrow looks as if it will be just as rotund and just as inflamed and just as stormy. On Thursday, however, I shall probably lose 3 \u00bd kilograms. My body is telling me this.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to settle down to work when I\u2019m round like a balloon, but I can\u2019t just leave things. What I do is make a list of the minimum I need to get done. Today my list contains this blogpost, a supermarket delivery, several hours of research, many emails sorted, and 2 applications finished. I\u2019m a bit under a third of the way through, and it\u2019s almost 4 pm. Hopefully the storm will ease off for a few hours and will allow me to furiously catch up. We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n
While we all sit back and watch the weather to find out what the rest of the day will bring, I might make a giant cup of tea. Then another. And, while I\u2019m drinking that tea, finish with some emails and one of the applications.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to. My body is telling me to sleep off the inflammation. What I\u2019m hoping is that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and slept everything off on my behalf. Australia is not a Thanksgiving country, so really, I have no excuse to go back to bed. I rely on you…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
