Afternoony. I feel a whole lot better today. I forced myself to go back to sleep and not get up early and feel all the better for it :)

Plus what made me happy was checking my emails and the order has indeed been cancelled so I'm not stuck with something I wanted but in a yucky colour.

The purple shade was stunning, the rest were tacky. Oh I just saw a cheaper nicer one, so I got that and some trousers.

They should be arriving this week as it's only Tuesday today. Unless there are more complications..

I'm trying out the Mark's body mists day by day, to see which one I prefer but they have such strange names.

This is what gave me pause for thought. Spiced bergamot? I have that essential oil, strong and not that pleasant.

Then it was Pink pepper and Warm Neroli. I'm not sure about Neroli but Pepper as a fragrance?? Hmm.

But so far I think the pink pepper is my favourite, it's headier than the rest. Bergamot fades really fast and is weak but kinda musky.

Whatever they used to blend it, was genius. I can't give you any notes but I would get this again. I might wait for a discount though.

Like I said, I love them all as they are sweet but not sickly and tomorrow if I remember it will be the Neroli oil which I have a plan for.

I'm going to start using it on my dry skin areas. I tried it on my elbows and it instantly absorbs and sinks it, they feel soft already.

And possibly my tootsies as they dry out too. It's actually nice having an oil added. I don't feel cheated our of three mists because it's not messy, it doesn't leak it just disappears into the skin.

#BlogLife513 - Sleep doesn't come easily except when I'm poorly

Towards the middle of yesterday is when I started feeling better. Today I thought I would have more energy but I didn't.

My body usually tells me what it needs to compensate for feeling weaker than usual.

I am falling asleep much quicker but I still feel the tiredness plaguing me.

Last night I woke up a few times but the rest itself was really deep and satisfying.

I woke up feeling refreshed and later than usual because I forced myself to go back to sleep and then it was 11amish by the time I got up.

But then by 1pmish I felt completely drained again. I had literally opened Blogger to write today's post and my eyes were closing.

I was half awake and half asleep. I felt a bit achey but my stomache was fine, bones were alright but my thoughts were scattered all over the place.

Now it's just gone 3pmish, I feel a lot more alert. Oh oops, kinda ended up spilling half the takeaway yesterday.

I guess I didn't store it in the fridge securely and it splattered all over the floor.

I still have other bits to munch but just from mopping that up, I was shattered.

Unfortunately it doesn't take much to exert me. I've started re-watching One day at a time again.

It's really funny but sad too, every other episode makes me cry.

I relate to the PTSD, the racism, the not quite belonging and the trying to keep it all together and not fall apart.... Themes.

I'm trying to make a shopping list too. I need to buy more body mists, the Elizabeth Taylor one is almost finished.

I think I mentioned that the Lustre version I hated. It was too childish, sweet candyish but Mama said she likes that type of thing, I forgot to ask if she tried it yet.

I don't know whether to try some new celebrity ones which I usually end up hating or stick with Elizabeth ones....?

I don't want to waste money. I guess I will see if I can get some deals going.
