rinacruinne | An Odd Weekend

This weekend has once again been one of those where I originally set out to get quite a few things done, only for my condition to flare up and end up not getting a vast amount of anything done. It's one of the frustrating realities of living with my condition which I have still not come to terms with even after the many years it has been causing me problems. Over time I've developed some strategies to deal with it which work better than others, but there are always days when even those don't particularly work. It didn't help that it kept me awake most of Saturday night in to Sunday which only compounded the fact I am already very tired. Family also seem to be constantly commenting about me sounding tired. I must admit having to restrain myself from snapping back that managing my conditions is a lot of work to begin with and doing my studies on top of that is not easy. Really I want a few days where I can just rest but I'm not going to get that this week as I've jobs that I've put off which I really need to deal with - including sorting out some of the logistics for a conference I'm meant to be doing in two weeks. It's all rather chaotic but hopefully it will settle down somewhat soon at least.
