Rosebug's Diary [back on the chain gang~]

I was awake at 4am too Rose, massive problems with new hayfever treatment mean I wake up at 3.30am/4am with completely blocked sinuses and a raging thirst - hideous, isn't it, being awake then? Esp when I have to get up at 6.30am groan....I'm taking extra Vitamin B complex tablets early afternoon, to get a bit of energy - and they do help.

Hope the reading is going well. When I was at uni I would go to the library, pick a desk as far away from the books as possible and then play a prevaricating game called "Make up the title of those books over there" . Then, in order to be academically precise, I'd have to get up and go and check - and at the same time, spy on the guy I fancied who worked at the cafe....happy days :D
 
Just catching up on the past week, glad things are a little brighter.

Sleep patterns are annoying things, try and get some when you can.
 
Hi Rosebug - how was the snacking today? I do find that it's pretty random - some days I'm not hungry at all and some days starving. Haven't yet found a correlation that works!

Hey Susie, that AH doesn't sound nice. Hope you get settled or changed soon!

Xx
 
AWOL today - doing more reading but nowhere near where I want to be with this. It's just a first year essay, technically all I have to do is pass it and it won't count toward my degree anyway but I want to make it worthwhile despite the fact that the class it is for really hasn't been. It's not due until the fifteenth but I wanted to get it done by Friday so I could start on other work (due in may). Currently looking unlikely but we'll see. I wrote all last terms papers on a mad rush because nana had just been hospitalized and it threw me for a loop - and I got completely unexpected firsts for those. So maybe doing the work on these will mean I actually do worse. Whoo knows.

Anyway, tomorrow I have lectures in the morning (so I have to be up in 5 hours) and then I'm meeting a friend who is down from Newcastle for the week. We decided to go to the clink museum in borough - possibly because I know there's a nice safe nandos and GBK next door so food should be ok.

I actually ate less than I meant to today...

Food today:

Macadamia nuts
2g

Tea
2g

Cheese and chive salad
2g

Pancetta
0g

Pork crunch & mushroom pate
2g

Total: 8g

....ok well under what I should be on and not what I planned for today but I've been so preoccupied. Ah well tomorrow will be junky (though legal) and full of calories so it will balance.

Being awake at 4am has been normal for me since junior school - I just find it impossible to hold on to a sleeping pattern. If means I'm okay with being up if I have the net to entertain me - lots of my online friends are us based. But being awake and -ill- you poor thing. That is the pits. I hope you're feeling better today.

The boys at my college are all too young!
 
3:40 am.

I got up this morning at 9am. Could have slept longer as I only had 4 hrs sleep but wanted to sleep tonight so I got up.

Well that failed.

I have to get up for college in 2hrs 10 mins. Then meeting my friend after. No idea what time I'll be home but I could have been up for nearly 40 hrs by then.

Sigh. I wish sleeping pills didn't make me feel awful. Somehow I always sleep far too long when I want a quick few hrs, and can't sleep when I need to. Maybe part of my anxiety issues.

*counts sheep*

Oh you can add a dietimeal choc pud to yesterdays food. Or today's. Having it now. 2g.
 
Morning Rose love
 
Yes, it's supposed to be nice and sunny here today as well Rose
 
Ugh nice afternoon buggered up by train nightmare afterwards. Waterloo running about 6 trains an hour because of a fatality, took me 3 hrs to get a train at all and it's not going to my town but to woking. Am half dead on 2 hrs sleep in the last 36.
 
((hugs)) sweetie. Hope you get some sleep tonight and we can know that we were both swearing at trains at the same time!

I have wanted something today. I have wanted an ice cream so much I could have cried, you know, an ice cream from an ice cream van like everyone else was having on the south bank when I had to escape a too crowded Waterloo. I have wanted chocolate or crisps or something easy and simple and shop bought and familiar for when I had to get off a crowded train which had left me panicky and stressed, and wait in a chilly car park for a ride. I have wanted a cuddle, but I didn't get any of those things. I'm just feeling tired and my heart hurts.

Food today:

Double sausage muffin no muffin, bacon
3g

Tea
2g

Nandos 1/4 chicken & mixed leaf salad & salad dressing
Est 5g

Hot dog (disgusting) no bun
Est 5g

Sula sugarfree fruit sweets to take away hot dog taste
0carbs 9000polyols

Atkins bar
3g

Diet orange drink
2g

Total : 20g

Of course the bar will probably stall me which means I may as well have had real carbs rather than some icky thing I don't really like which is failing to act as an emotional panacea.
 
Hi rb. Well done resisting all the temptations and I hope today is better for you
Xxxxxxxx
 
Morning Rose, I gathered from katie's post the trains were a mess last night
