Later

Another poor sleep and I found it difficult to get myself up and out for a run.  I've not experienced such a lengthy period of stress before and am doing my best to manage what, at times, feel overwhelming mood swings.

I remind myself that it will pass and just wish that
it would hurry up.

I motivated myself to try and run further up the hill before having to walk and made it.  The High Street was waking up for the day and traffic fumes made the run less enjoyable than usual but I was still happy to have got myself out.

There were workmen clearing leaves from the water in the ******* outside the Church. 

Another sign that my brain is not firing as it should is that I am finding it difficult to recall words and couldn't think of the word trough ******
