Ten days? Surely not. I can't believe it's ten days since last I wrote here. I seems as though I just finished writing...
It's been a busy week and a bit but I don't feel I've achieved very much. A lot of meetings, a lot of reports and my sleep patterns have gone haywire. I regularly wake up at 4 am, unable to go back to sleep, worrying about the work I have to do. Of course, as a result, I'm exhausted during the day and the work doesn't get done, and round we go in the spiral of stress and tiredness.
This morning, I realised that this is the spiral I was in for a couple of years before my diagnosis. Given the likelihood is that my cancer was caused - at least partly - by stress, I'd better do something about this spiral before it becomes part of my normal behaviour pattern. Life is too short to spend time worrying. If something doesn't get done, it doesn't get done. The sky won't fall. What a pity that those who pay our wages haven't worked that one out yet!
Anyway, the sun's shining today. I'm going for a walk and then to do some gardening to relax a bit.
My thought for today: it isn't worth sacrificing my health just to meet a deadline.
