Back to work has been a breath of fresh air… I really needed the mental stimulation, and the imperative to ‘be somewhere’. However, I am finding the shoulder to be a huge challenge. The pain (minimal) and discomfort (maximum) is sapping my strength, tiring me out hugely. I go home after 5 or 6 hours and need to take a nap. That nap, then, disrupts my night sleep and I wake the next morning needing more… which is then making it tough to get through the morning because of my shoulder. I have to break this cycle this weekend, somehow.

And, this morning my hayfever reared its ugly head for the first time this season. I lost my breakfast because of the post-nasal drip and gunk in my throat.

Yuck.
