May. 30th, 2009 12:48 amLiz couldn't tell me if I'm going to die or not. As in soon. I've really been reading too much about DVTs. I've the beginnings of a varicose vein, probably, or a really weirdly spreading bruise. We're going with varicose vein for the time being. Anti-thromboembolism stockings (hobbidal grade, not support tights) are actually working - have reduced the swelling and the pain considerably already after one day, though there's no way I'm sleeping in them. Another thing to go on the list. I quite often wear TEDS at work so I'm used to wearing two sets of socks in this heat but ick I'm sweaty today.
I was not designed for this weather. I'm not saying it's not pleasant, but I was not designed for it. I burn, stupidly easily. 20 minutes exposure does it. In March. I get dehydrated easily (read: I sweat buckets when exposed to 18+C) On the other hand, PICNICS! Must have picnics this year! I love picnics. Food, drink, friends, conversation, warm shade with a hat and sunscreen, sprawled out on the grass under a tree, barefooted and carefree for a few hours. Bliss. Somewhere nearby to swim, or paddle or just mess about in the water (not a pool though) would just be exactly right.
And I'm in Cark. After quite a bit of bus dancing and no wee break stop in Urlingford. Am sprawled out across the bed, my own at home being designed for tiny people (my feet stick out the end, not right) full of philly steak deliciousness and nose a bit full of cat hair already. And there are stars here! And I'm going to sleep now, tons of work to do in the morning, mostly baking and cleaning. I hope you're as relaxed as I am right now. If not, come to Cark? :)
