Dealing with the heat

I'm not dealing with the heat any better than I've been dealing with emotion lately. At the department at work does have some air conditioning but its not up to american standards.

The heat stops me sleeping, takes away my appetite, and makes me very crabby. As I found out yesterday it also makes me very sensitive. there was a tricky prescription to deal with just before lunch. I called it the only way I could having discovered the consultant who wrote it a few days ago was on leave and had no designated cover. Then when they gave it out to the parent (it was for a child) it got bounnced back with the comment from the senior technician ' the child hasnt had any medicine for three weeks so hurry up' Like it was MY fault they hadn't had any. I was probably misreading Debbie's attitude but I felt as if she was criticising me for my decision and unfairly expecting me to have knowledge of the situation which I couldnt have. Anyway the end result was a banana muffin that I didnt need as part of my lunch that wasnt eaten slowly enough.

I didnt do any excercise yesterday. Didnt go for a walk didnt use the wii fit. I will do something this morning though.

I feel very tired and sluggish this morning. My guts dont feel right I am verging on needing the movical again but I think that is heat rather than my IBS.

Steve popped across yesterday evening to grab some paracetamol as he isnt feeling well and thinks he may have a chest infection. And he hasnt registered with a local GP yet. Another young freind of ours has a chest infection and I inevitably I am wondering swine flu - except Steve hasnt had any other systems to date. Thank goodness he is now only 20 seconds away from us. If he is ill I can get there quickly.

At least I got my car sorted out yesterday. I finalise the details today and pick it up at the weekeknd. I must make sure my cash in the right place today. Thank goodness for internt banking!!

I am sitting here feeling fat today. I may not eat much in the eat but what I want is unhealthy. My fruit and veg intake was way down yesterday - although I did have fresh fruit salad as part of my lunch and had a banana yesterday evening. But quiche and pork pie are not healthy options along with bread and butter.

I dont really feel like eating this morning - but I am slightly hungry. I think I need a walk before I do anything else today.

Just spotted this which I think contains an important message for me and Sharon

our smallest actions add up to something big

Everything you do makes a difference. Even if you're not on the front lines leading the effort, you have a contribution to make. Without your contribution, no matter how small, so many other things would never happen. The world needs what you have to offer. You have no idea how the simplest of your everyday actions can effect your child, and even people you've never met. Chances are, you'll never know. But if you're looking for a purpose to work toward, all you need is the desire and the right perspective. Define yourself as your task, and that's all you'll ever be. Define yourself as your contribution to your family, and suddenly you're a very important part of a bigger picture. The biggest pictures are the ones where there's room for everyone to be seen.
