More tryptophan

Well there had to be a picture, sooner or later i suppose.

Maybe I should use this picture with my profile? these look a bit brown and limp around the edges.... sounds about right...

And I will be back to the lettuce and bananas again tonight before bed.
3 good sleeps at my friend Luce's house, but not so good since being home..... so back to my bedtime snack of choice/necessity - its tryptophan, apparently (not laudanum!) which is in lettuce, bananas, milk.. can't remember what else, i must check, more nightly lettuces might drive me mad - and it causes drowsiness.

So they say.

However - no sleeping pills for over a week now, and i'm fairly determined not to take any more, so i'll keep trying......

In the meantime, heres a pic. of my fab new slippers. They make my feet look large and square, but i don't care - they are sooooooooo cosy and warm, and I can skate in them on our kitchen tiles.
What more could one want from a pair of slippers?



Yes!

Managed to move a picture!!





For those of you who haven't checked it yet, let me see if I can make babies with beards a link - so, click here:

go on, it'll make you laugh.

Well, I have a week without having to go to work ahead of me. Which would normally be a good thing. A very very good thing.
But..... since my personal troubles emerged limping out into the open - exploded, erupted, oozed unhealthily (eeeeewwwwww!!) - having to go to work at least a couple of days in the week has helped a lot - having to get out, see people, having some structure to the day. I work a lot from home anyway, preparing classes, marking essays - hard to not work too hard / hard to get dressed and DO something!

So, i'm determined to structure my week anyway and try to have a good time.
Swimming on Monday - i used to swim regularly, and am trying to exercise more, it should help with the sleeping too. Some work to do at home, should be ok if i've been out swimming and shopping on the way home. (food, nothing exciting - other than the lettuce/bananas, obviously). Tho i might have time for the Woolwich charity shops. Tuesday - hopefully going to see Hidden (take note, Frenchophiles) (sorry, that should probably be Francophiles!!) with a friend in the afternoon (!! love going to the pictures during the day, it feels so decadent). Wednesday - counselling in the morning with M. £50 a pop which hurts - but it does get us talking about stuff we need to talk about. Then meeting Tat for coffee pm (and Trac?).
Thursday - my weaving class, tho actually i might be spinning rather than weaving ... sometimes difficult as my mind wanders and who knows where it might end up - but its a nice group and good to get out of the house and be with people. Friday - yoga in the morning. Hooray! Haven't been able to get to yoga since last summer, as I've had to work Friday mornings. I'm so looking forward to that. No doubt will suffer afterwards. And Friday afternoon my lovely mum and dad are coming up for lunch & afternoon - shopping? walk? and staying for tea (which they are bringing with them! they're so lovely)

Could be a nice week. Should be. Hopefully. Will keep you informed.....
