Battle Progress

Monday morning, and I have just spent an hour grappling with an uncooperative and unrecognizable brain. Not that it’s ever much more than begrudging at this time of day!

I have to try to cope with the technical stuff early, before I have exhausted my grey cells completely. 

200 emails cleared, comments from our friends on WP answered, and general news read before my brain screamed uncle, and I retired to the couch to rest and think.

It doesn’t matter what my intentions are; I can’t shut off the thinking process. Which is not necessarily a good thing, as I cannot do much with all of these thoughts.

This post came to me as I lay there. I think it was meant for me, really, but I don’t mind sharing it. Why it keeps encouraging me to do things, things it will then do its best to ruin, I have no idea. Sounds spiteful, if you ask me.

My main thought: Why can I help my spine with all the exercise, but I cannot seem to find a way around the head problem? It would seem that whatever this lodger in my head is, it’s stubborn just like me. It is becoming stronger too; if I push things too much, it makes me giddy and to the verge of passing out.

I have contacted the doctor I saw and asked whether there is a way to shorten that awful waiting time for the MRI. Maybe he can. Fingers crossed!

I desperately want to work on the WIP, but scared of ruining what was difficult enough already! I will have to risk it, and hope for the best…

Thanks for listening again, it makes such a difference knowing you are all on my side… 

Love … Jaye

    I’m glad you’re stubborn because stubborn doesn’t give up. May I make a suggestion? Instead of doing social media first thing in the morning, give yourself half an hour to do creative work. Just half an hour. Then you can do the things you must do. I’m sure your brain won’t begrudge you half and hour. :)
    Massive hugs from Downunder.

    Despite all your obstacles you keep suiting up and showing up. I admire that. Prayers for a sooner appointment for the MRI. At least then you will know what you are dealing with. Hugs.
