A Week in the Life - Day 3
Day 3: Tuesday
I had an incredibly early start to my birthday this year. With it being M.E. Awareness day, it was like my body wanted to remind me I had M.E., and I woke at 5:11 in the morning. My muscles seemed to scream out in protest and frustration; searing pain shooting through my leg muscles and aching in my joints. This is an example of painsomnia, where you can't sleep due to pain, or get woken due to pain. I blearily made my way to the bathroom to massage some essential oil into my muscles and wash my hands before making my way back to bed where I tossed and turned for the next couple of hours drifting in and out of sleep.
At 8:50am I decided all hope of sleeping further had disappeared so I rolled over and kissed My Handsome Man awake, after all, it was time for presents!
I received many wonderful things for my birthday; books, make-up brushes, blu-rays, clothes, camera equipment and Lush bath goodies. After presents, My Handsome Man made me breakfast and then ran a relaxing bubble bath, using one of the bath bombs.
Ready for the day, we then went out for a lunch date.
Following lunch, I was exhausted. The early start and the weekend's activities were catching up with me, and as much as I wanted to do something on my birthday, I couldn't face being outside. I couldn't face much walking and so we bought ice-cream and returned home so I could crash on the sofa.
