Going Down Under and Back

I was late up today and I am blaming certain Antipodian friends who kept me chatting on FB until after 2am! It's great to catch up with these Aussie nutters but it does not do the sleep routine any good! At least I'm here now. 

 Not long after I had finally risen from the pit, the doorbell rang (an unusual occurance on a Sunday morning!). I answered the door to find Jacqui standing there smiling at me. It was a flying visit but it was good to see her. So I am still feeling quite tired but happy today (so far!). It's a nice day out there so I might just get my walking shoes on and disappear for a couple of hours into the local countryside. I might be able to burn off a few of those excess calories.

That sounds like a good idea, if my permanent headache will settle down a bit. Yes, the downside is from the head department today. Amitriptyline keeps it down to a dull roar but it does have a nasty habit of fighting the medication at times and today is one of those days. As I type this, I can feel the pressure building up to blowing my stack levels. Now I have to decide if I take painkillers or not. Co-codamol is a strong painkiller and mine are the 3/500 strength which are the strongest. Two of them will deal with it and get it back to a manageable dull roar, if I can't fight it back myself. My typing speed has slowed dramaticly and I am finding it hard going to finish this post. I may have to come back later, so please excuse me if I disappear. I hate relying on medications to keep going, so I will do without them if I can, especially powerful pain killers like these. I have to take the amitriptyline at night to help me control the headache so that I have a better chance of getting some sleep. This doesn't always work but it gives me a better chance of sleeping.

I think that's all for now, so I'll be back later or tomorrow. Bye for now.
