I had an excuse as Grandson is on an inset day (we used to call it a Baker Day) and so he arrives early. I was awake and so 5:40 didn't seem too bad I'd normally be up at 6 anyway for him coming.
I have no idea what I have done to my knee but it needed Deep Heat on it this morning and I've now taken off the brace and it feels sort of OK. It happens occasionally, a cricket accident from 30+ years ago! both knees but it is infrequent. The heat has died down a bit now and whilst I still ran the cooler overnight hopefully that can be turned down or off if the temperature drops a bit more. It is much nicer now - warm but without the humid hit that we seem to get in the UK.
I have some things to do which will occupy me for a few days now. These are mainly accounts and they can be completed and be sent off for auditing. I've got other things to do as well and so I am feeling OK and not so lost. Tomorrow can be an accounts sort of day and I can clear up my own accounts and those of the Lodge in one hit.
I hope that I can end the habit of early rising though. I find it difficult to sleep still and so I just need to get away from the habit and away from my mind wanting to nag me all the time. Knowing that my mind is commenting all the time is part of the trick but the ultimate thing is to make it stop. That is the most difficult part of it all. Ignoring the babble and nonsense arising and dismissing it and not joining in with it's narcissistic pain body self talk. Easier said that done but I am trying.
