Am incredibly tired. Once again. Still.

At least I got my work done. And was reminded that I had noted down end of March / beginning of April as my first two weeks of holiday this year, and that we're to get the next big batch of work on 18 March, so if I could perhaps be somewhat flexible about the holiday... well, I don't have any plans made, apart from wanting to rest, so I figured I could be flexible.

Thus I somewhat unexpectedly find myself having a week off starting tomorrow. Which is nice, I suppose.

The last week's been quite awful. I've been in pain most of the time - my back's not in a good state at all, and I'm getting seriously fed up with my right leg, which has been sort of achy for a few years now but more insistent in recent months. It's not a strong pain but a more or less constant one, going all the way from the hip to the ankle, but mostly staying in the outer thigh. Most annoying. I suppose I'll need to go see a doctor about it some day, but so far, it's been so... vague, that I've not been sure what to complain about.

I did decide to actually start doing something about this awful state of unfitness and stuff last week though, and am determined to go out for a walk daily. Have done so for six days now. Not long walks, staying out for an hour perhaps, and hardly power-walking, but it's enough to exhaust me quite properly for now - my legs start aching far too quickly and I have zero stamina. But it's bound to start having an effect (preferably a positive one) some day. I hope. And today was pretty nice, climbing around in the fresh falling snow and stuff.

Just finished reading Wishing Well, a Ten & Martha book... not very impressed. Most new Doctor Who books have been good fanfic level, this one seemed weakish. And I spotted several things I'd have pointed out as a beta.

I'm so sorry you're having so much pain, but it sounds good that you're now feeling like walking to try to work on it. Hugs.

Sorry to hear about your leg being in pain, but atleast there's that week off? Weeks off are always appreciated. :-)

So sorry to hear you've been achy and worn out. I hope the walking helps on both fronts!

Walking regularly should help.

Take care of you.

You're braver than me, going for a walk like that every day, but you're right. It'll be good for you, and should help you to get more rest.

I'm sorry that you're still feeling poorly, but the walks seem to be helping...


*more hugs*

Dear lord - all that sedentary work doesn't help, does it. I wonder if the leg thing is something to do with the nerves from a dicky back?

I'm glad you're getting some fresh air and moevement, though. It may be tiring, but it's healthier than being indoors all the time.

*hugs*
