I didn’t sleep well last night and when I finally closed my eyes, I dreamed of sprinkling grass seed into a seed tray that already had a thick carpet of grass.

Dreams are usually confusing, but I understood this one well enough. My life seems to have taken on an air of futility where I stubbornly keep doing things that are not necessary, and literally ignoring the things I should be doing.

I am still kicking myself for the stupid way I handled that impromptu meeting with David Snow, one of my resident detectives. I should have planned that a lot better than I did and maybe we could have come to some sort of agreement.

Or, left decisions like that until I felt better.

Speaking of feeling better, it appears that I am a long way from better now.

My doctor called me to the surgery yesterday to check on me. I had been on the verge of making an appointment as I didn’t think I was getting better fast enough.

So great minds think alike?

The long walk to the surgery was most enjoyable. The sun was shining, and it felt good to be outside in the fresh air.

I tried not to think about all the closed and empty shops, and the way the few people we saw all kept their distance. (Almost is if they knew I was infected with something!)

Turned out that my blood pressure was through the roof and the kidney infection was still very much alive and kicking!

A sample of my wee is winging its way to the laboratory so they can get to the bottom of why the antibiotics didn’t get rid of it, and which one might work better.

So this explains my semi fragile state, continuing back ache and brain confusion. I hope!

The walk home after seeing the doctor seemed twice as long as before and I needed several sit downs along the way. My energy levels were all but crawling along the floor, but I managed to get home, walk up the path to my front door and collapse on to the nearest chair…

This was my first post with the new WordPress editor and wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Obviously, there is a lot to learn but I think I am going to like it!

  1. Congrats on your first post!!! :D … and bugger about the wee. :(

    1. It gets tested again tomorrow… and it had better be clear!

      1. Fingers crossed.

  2. Oh my goodness, Jaye! Sending you healing light and love. Feel better soon! And you’re right. The new editor isn’t all that difficult. :)

    1. Thank you, Jan…

  3. Here’s praying for better. I’m afraid of the new editor. Of course, you gave me a reason to wonder if it is unfounded. Maybe I’ll try it too.

    1. I don’t like it when things change and getting a bit too old to stretch my brain, but needs must!

      1. Took me twenty five minutes to figure out how to get to the classic editor. I HATE THAT.

        1. I am beginning to hate a lot of things on the internet. Shame, because I was having so much fun!

          1. Ignore the bad and go for the fun. (I know easy to say)

            1. To be honest, fun is getting a bit thin on the ground these days. I need to look for more!

              1. I hear you.

  4. So sorry to hear you are unwell. Get well soon.

    1. Thank you!

  5. I hope they get to the bottom of it. Your post looks great. I’m sure we will all get used to the new format and wonder why we were worried about it in the first place.

    1. I’m feeling rather fearless right now…

  6. Oh, poor you, Jaye. Do hope you are feeling better and the docs can sort your problems out. Not a good place to be in right now. Take care. Hugs x

    1. I have more antibiotics now and hope they work this time!
