bugs

The bugs are definitely out. We've had mosquitoes clouding outside one window (on the 8th floor!), daddy longlegs, and, on our walk this afternoon we saw festoons of spiders webs with pretty big spiders. The mosquitoes were certainly a new one for us here and it was odd that they massed outside just one window.

We're both feeling pretty tired and lethargic and we're not really sure why. Well T has reason after his travels, but I don't. I'm struggling to get pain under control without zonking me out. But I did get to start doing some analytical work this afternoon starting on some new case studies. So, I was encouraged by that and reassured my brain is still working.

I've been trying a new(ish) diet which is a sort of combination of blood type (I'm an O) and anti-inflammatory after a session with a nutritionist. It was a bit surprising how much overlap there is between the two when I started looking into it. I've managed to lose and stay down around 3kg but I'm not so sure about the anti-inflammatory action so far. It's possible of course that some of the 'flare' I'm experiencing is the kind of odd reaction you get - it'll get worse before it gets better.
