Ground down
I spent much of yesterday with a low-level headache behind my right eye and felt rather down all day. Not depressed, but certainly subdued. Apart from the headache, which is guaranteed to harsh my good humour, I have to confess that I hit a wall in my attempts to maintain my diet. I do not want to see another cocktail sausage for many months, if it’s all the same to you. I got to the stage yesterday where I was choking them down and finally I decided that feeling hungry was the preferred status.
Going home, the fresh air helped the headache, but it returned once I got home.
Further attempts to find palatable low-carb food led me to try fried corned beef with baked beans. I cannot recommend it and in the early hours I had to chew a Remegel for the indigestion that followed it.
magpye has suggested some sort of sweet chilli sauce and calling it ‘student chilli’ which sounds possible, but I am already pushing the low carb side with the sugar that is in the tomato sauce that covers the beans. I’m not being strictly no-carb, but it’s all rather pointless if I let too many of the blighters through.
Be that as it may, I didn’t even turn the PC on last night when I got home. We watched an old Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes and by 9.30 I was in bed, which ism almost unheard of for me. I intended to read for a while, but in the end I just went to sleep. I woke up a couple of times during the night, but by and large I managed to sleep through to just before 6.00 and then doze until 7.00 when the alarm went off. Clearly I have been rather more run down recently than I thought. Still, nearly the weekend. Apart from a bit of bulb planting in the garden, I am aiming for a quiet one overall.
