Ooh!

1. So, I've been doing this de-clutter thing and one of the tasks was to sort out your desk/work space. I swept everything off my desk:   bar the laptop and the lamp into a big bag and started sorting it out. The idea is to deal with it all, but I had a load of treasures I couldn't quite bear to chuck out and don't have anywhere to keep:   I posted this and got into a chat about it with someone. She suggested making art out of my beach finds so I said, "What, like this?":     and went off to walk the dog on the beach. Later, I opened my phone while in a cafe and the woman had suggested I get my artworks displayed in the library or my doctor's. Hmm, I thought, or a cafe... I showed the photo to the owner who was really keen and showed me the big wall where they could go. He told me to make a card with all the details, including the price! Eeeeek!!!! That's the only one I have but I will get making some more. It was up for £40 at the recovery centre exhibition and didn't sell, but to be honest, there weren't many people through - it's not like the Open House at the other place. I think that's a decent price. Any opinions, anyone? It's quite big, probably at least a metre wide...


2. I didn't go to yoga, as I felt really tired and achey and I realised the sky wouldn't fall on my head if I didn't. I have walked 3.6 miles today so not all bad.


3. I have all the evidence letters ready for the benefits tribunal - fucking hell, I cannot overstate how awful and undermining it is to have to prove how mental you are. But because it's about getting another point and one more point puts me into a different category, an enhanced rate, and an extra £28 a week, backdated to August 2016, it's worth a bit of awfulness for a few weeks. I may not get it - I should because I am telling the absolute truth, but that may not count for anything - so I'm trying not to get ahead of myself.


4. Following the sleep hygiene suggestions, I have set an alarm for bedtime. 11.30, to be followed by reading in bed. Apparently going at a regular time helps a lot, as does having no electronics or TV in the bedroom, though I always do that anyway. I had a phase of having the phone by my bed because of ED but not any more.


5. Bedtime so no time for number 5.

Sleep tight xx
