Another bad day, headache making for a bad nights sleep and a grumpy start to the morning. It took a couple of hours, but I managed to pick myself up out of the bad mood so at least I didn’t have to contend with all day too. Every day lost to illness is a deadline getting closer and the end of my PhD getting further away. It takes a little calibration with each stumble not to let it get on top of me, but all things considered I handle it well.

Have a picture of some of mums lovely pottery today. She makes so much beautiful stuff, and I love that her work is dotted all around the house.
