Well, that was exciting. Too exciting for me, in the end – I went to bed with my radio, but even in that form had to turn the tennis off for fear I would never get to sleep afterwards. The match was much closer (as often in tennis) than the tame-sounding 6-4, 6-3 score would suggest. I don’t feel much of an emotional attachment to Djokovic – and it’s no longer 9/11. I ought to be able to drift off peacefully tonight, listening to that one. And if not, not.

 

Today was better, health-wise. C. came and at least we got to the Gardens and sat for a while on the nearest bench – better than sitting on my own doorstep. I’ll try to extend the walk tomorrow. And I have been working hard on dehydration, the most manageable of the amateur and long-distance diagnoses floating about here (alcoholism, lactose-intolerance, malnutrition).

 

It’s time to get back to work on knitting.

    At least the game wasn't boring! Even just sitting in the daylight can help many ways. I do recommend iron. It's far too easy to get low on it, and it carries the necessary oxygen to your cells, which gives you energy to, well, do things.

  3. We are a bunch of busy bodies, aren't we? Only because we care and feel you have been our friend for ages and ages...

  4. I'm with Mary Lou on this. After all, we would never have known about your cider habit if you hadn't told us yourself.

  5. Good for you for at least exploring what the matter is! Hope you won't mind me sharing my own stuff with you, but I understand the cider habit - had a wicked red wine habit myself for quite a while, but had to give it up to ensure the chemo I had the first six months of this year would work. Hoping that you feel better and get back to yourself and really hoping that you will be able to enjoy the cider without guilt or shame! If not, meh, life goes on with other good things:)! I'm living without the red and it's not too shabby:)!
