On Sunday I had an generalized allergy reaction. I have no idea what set me off but I was itchy all over. This happens to me occasionally – I’ve given up asking why. So I dusted off my antihistamine tablets, tossed one back, and enjoyed my remaining hours awake itch free. On Monday morning I woke by choking on stomach acid. It was the start to one of those days. I had a dreadful headache, think sandpaper across your forehead, but put this down to my rude awakening. Since headaches are run of mill for me I didn’t think much of it until the breakfast incident. I had just happily spooned a collection of chocolate puffs and soya milk into my mouth when I suddenly had a mouth full of stomach acid. Thankfully I managed to avoid a) choking to death and b) vomiting into my breakfast. I did make a quick dash to the bathroom to hover by the toilet for a while. After a short while though it seemed my system calmed down again.
Despite a 12 hour sleep overnight after four hours awake I just had to go and lie down in a heap in a dark room. I thought I was sleeping quite lightly but it turns out my sister hoovered the entire house – right up to my bedroom door without waking me. This is a very strange occurrence since usually someone stepping at the top of the stair will wake me let alone the hoover being dragged around. Anyway I decided to give up on the day and hibernate instead.
So on Sunday and Monday my sister and I got all the Paralympics watched – go Team GB. Finished Series 2 of Being Human, watched discs 2 and 3 of Series 3 of Dexter. And I still had time to finished Chapter 2 of my sister’s thesis and find the time to read the first half of Terri Reid‘s Secret Hollows – A Mary O’Reilly Paranormal Mystery (Book 7).
