#BlogLife1091 - Record breaking UK heatwave ending soon?

Hmm every day I've been searching for the demise of this damn extreme weather.

3/4 hours of sleep per night is wrecking me. I know up til at least 6/7am I was awake..

Shattered and drained. I kept grabbing my phone to do something but I had zero attention.

I watched the sky go from dark to light at maybe 4amish? I am sick of my clothes sticking to me.

I wanted to charge the fan all night, but I got scared because it keeps overheating and I don't want it to cause a fire..

I took it off at 4am, that's how I know the time. I forgot and remembered about the essential oils but I couldn't locate them.

I don't think I have lemon, maybe just peppermint and maybe another one?

The citrus ones are invigorating but calming for some reason. Hmm well as the heatwave is due to end today (Friday) I guess they won't cancel the UC appointment on Monday.

I would have loved a phone one. It's still baking, I'm sceptical about the weekend being milder..

The UK has had heatwaves before but never like this. I think the advisory was to stay home, unless you need to be out..

I only recall my skin burning once and it was so strange. I never use sunscreen, if it happens to be included in the product, so be it..

It's lunchtime, I should eat because my insides are empty. I'm probably dehydrated from perspiring all night.

I did want to do a bit of writing and volunteering first though. I miss my rolls, it's not the same with toast.

The thing I hate about these mini fans, is that the base is too light and keeps toppling over.

Oh and I finally did most of the washing. The sun should dry them quickly enough.

Pity no notification, the Monday appointment is still on, how will I have the energy for it?

Oof today was rough, the dizziness, no enthusiasm for anything.

I have to look for the aloe vera, I have this scratching compulsion and my skin is all bruised and tender.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but as you know, instead of painkillers, I use binaural beats videos.

Healing soundwaves, no ingesting nasty chemicals. Sadly the ones I prefer that are crazily effective..

All seems to have this devil music, the kind they play in horror films, creepy piano...

Ugh I hate it so much. It bothers me on a deeper level I think. I didn't put it together before..

But I bolt awake panicked, like I did this morning 8am and I didn't remember the dream but I just have an inkling..

I'm reverting back to panic attack induced nightmares. When I was in hospital and just out, I got them every night..

I feel like the music is a lil too haunting and it's upsetting my mind.

I've searched for alternatives but they aren't as good, so I have to put up with it.

Ugh my back keeps painfully twinging, I feel like it's going to snap off soon, it really hates bending.

Getting the charger, opening the freezer, picking up fallen bits.

I need blankie's heat but if I put that on I'll collapse. I have a feeling I did have a bit of heat exhaustion..

My appetite is gone, 1x meal per day but I know I need fuel so gonna heat up the beef tagliatelle pasta.

I so want takeout but can't afford it really. It's been a horrid morning with sickiness, cramps, dizziness..

But I think the last 2x nights, I've sprinkled peppermint essential oil on my pillow and truly that has knocked me out for hours.

So happy to get some proper rest. There was no seat on the bus going, I felt so rough.

And then I had a mini panic attack as someone bought a bloody dog and it was right next to me, so a mini freakout.

That should not be allowed unless it's a seeing eye dog. Ugh!!

It still feels heatwavey...  But an alternative UC advisor was there and he seemed human, so I was having an enjoyable chat with him actually..

I've realised what the source of my stress is, it's visiting Mama and not knowing if she'll take a toll on my emotional health..

Ugh I don't want to get up for food but I have too, my poor back.

I know I'll play muscle binaural beats videos.. Let me dream I can afford takeout.....

Here's what I would order salmon avocado or chicken sushi and sod it, probably lemonade, ha

#BlogLife1090 - Go go go, No no no..

Hmm well the Greek yoghurt wasn't sweet and neither are the berries but it's not sour either.

I just thought what could I add to make it a lil sweeter? I don't have honey or sugar, never buy it to be honest..

But I do have a smidgen of nutella left over, I could add a dollop maybe, I'll see how I feel.

Getting cool, works for a second and then the sauna atmosphere returns, I wet the ends and my face with cold water and it's refreshing for a whole second then it's evaporated, my hair is dry.

Thank goodness for bottles of ice water from the freezer and my cooling mist which is kept in the fridge.

What another horrid night, the heatwave doesn't seem to end. I thought yes let's be clever, sleep on top of the duvet...

It never works, I can't get comfy, it doesn't feel cosy, even though the duvet is suffocating..

The fan does nothing, the humidity sweeps over the room. I think eventually maybe after 5am, I got an hour or so, maybe more.

I was drained, my head sweating all night. That was a long hour to have the heating on, apparently it's another bad day so I wanted to get up early and put it on.

I still can't tell if it's the weather making me sick or pmt. My stomach just feels empty.

The weird thing is, I have no thirst whatsoever. I'm sipping water to keep hydrated and so that food goes down but it's a struggle.

I'm not bored of the taste, if that happens I stick an icepole in the bottle..

Oh the one thing I do have is hunger, that is normalish, there's loads to choose from, I might do the roast potatoes later..

I've no idea what to pair it with or I could cook the cheese ravioli..

Right now I want sleep but there is too much to do. I should do housework but I'm not sure my legs are up to standing for that long.

As I got the water, I grabbed some ready salted crisps to settle my tum but I don't have an appetite yet so I'll just leave it.

I wondered yesterday, what was the point of going to bed? Laying there, tossing and turning, begging for drowsiness to take over?

Maybe I won't go to bed early but after midnight? The backache seems to increase every time I'm standing up and I can't apply heat to it.

I'll have to play binaurals later. 

I had my first ice bath, not real ice, I remember having icy cold showers on holiday..

Oof once you get used to it, it's refreshing, I washed my hair and did not scream or squeal..

I was brave and now unfortunately it's getting warm again, boo.

Mama's back and she called me, she sounds happy and glad to be back, wow, to a heatwave of all things.

So I guess it will depend on her behaviour, whether or not I spend some time next month with her..

I updated her about the competition win and the debt, maybe we'll do some pampering soon?

#BlogLife312 - Anti summer love

Are you a summer bunny or do you prefer the colder climates? How are you dealing with the excessive heat?

I'm just wearing light clothing and putting half filled squash bottles in the freezer to make homemade slushies.

Then every few hours I rub ice cubes around my face. I also have the fans going all day and night. I am so relieved that I bought 2 now.

I know I'm in the minority but I hate this heatwave and not keen on summer, not being able to layer up and waking up sweating.

Feeling as though I am slowly baking in an oven that can't be switched off. Ugh!!

Have you got sunburnt? Stock up on aloe vera, you may or may not need it.

The only time I ever recall my skin actually burning as I have never in my life bothered with sun block, was when I was a teenager.

I was in a t-shirt and shorts I think and my bare arms starting tingling and then I felt them scorched by the heat.

They weren't burnt but I really felt vulnerable that day. I've never experienced that since. I'm not looking forward to popping out tomorrow for groceries.

It's not much, maybe bleach, wraps, tissues, that sort of thing but I will go early and hopefully be back before it's too bad.

I'm hoping the bus tomorrow has windows and a seat. My Supereyes drops are nearly finished so I bought Blink.

It's the Intensive Tears version. I'm not sure if they are rewetting, the type I am supposed to purchase for my hard rgp lenses but they are contact lens friendly again.

I don't need to remove my lenses, to use them. I've used this brand before but I can't remember if I liked them.

Some drops are too thick to be hydrating and fog up the lenses and some are too thin.

I just hope they don't sting. My eyes are still sensitive and irritable and very dry.

They cost £4.50 and are due to arrive between today or before the weekend.
