Today was a day off work.
The real me.
I woke at my usual 6.30.
phone scrolled.
Went downstairs for an espresso.
Sunshine outside.
Put dustbin out for bin men
Lay on the sofa with a blanket over me,
Phone scrolled.
Succumbed to my body screaming for sleep for two hours… not strong enough to resist.
Forced myself to get up and do something.
Loaded dishwasher.
Phone scrolled
Bleached kitchen floor.
Phone scrolled.
Picked 7 weeds from garden.
Picked some blackberries from my front yard.
Phone scrolled.
Couldn’t face seeing or speaking to anyone.
Unable to force myself to shower or brush teeth.
On balance today was a good day for me.
Back to work and the false me tomorrow.
I hope this summary helps you know that you are not alone.
