What's Up Doc?

Well Dentist actually! We're going this afternoon. It seems to be that for the last few years every day that we have had dentist appointments that I have been feeling awful and the whole experience wears me out so much I have been ready to burst into tears either in the chair or when I get back to my husband in the waiting room. We never have that much done. Our NHS dentist checks us and usually cleans. Another £35 from our monthly budget and hey-ho!
I must say I am not feeling much better this morning and anticipate a similar scenario at 3.15pm... I have only managed a little yoga in the form of poses this week and that was from the bed before getting up for breakfast. Any other work towards my recovery has been breathing and meditation exercises. Of course they are just as important and I do them every day anyway but it just feels so liberating to be able to move around the floor and give myself something to do.
One thing that my lack of energy hasn't helped this week is our lack of food. I have eaten most of the emergency stash- one lunch time I even had two small yoghurts, toast and jam, a banana and satsuma. I have a shop coming tomorrow, so hopefully our fridge won't be so depleted. I have felt so little like cooking this week my lunches and even breakfasts have been pretty much a mismatch of bits and pieces. I delved into the freezer this morning hoping to find inspiration. With no milk and only a crust of bread I was reluctant to make what would be a very flat tasting porridge or rubbery scrambled egg. I also knew actually cooking an egg was the last thing I wanted to do- I needed food and now! So the result was to not eat the portion of chicken, vegetable and tomato stew which cried at me from the corner of the freezer- I need that for lunch! but instead to finish an expensive and actually not too sugary vanilla ice cream, with a few blueberries, this weeks muffin (I even put it in the microwave for 20 seconds to calm down the shock of the cold ice cream!) and a sprinkling of brazil nuts and walnuts out of the cupboard. Boy, oh, boy will I be pleased to see that delivery van tomorrow!

Update!
Dentist wasn't so bad, I'm stronger by far than I was 7 months ago when we last went and thanks to the new electric toothbrush we saw as a necessity when I was so ill this winter my teeth are even cleaner than before. So no big ordeal and the Where's Wally poster pasted on the ceiling kept me occupied for the worst of it!
As for food, as the dentist appointment went so well I was able to consider a Walk, yes a Walk around Lidl and we stocked up with enough to feed us tonight and also for tomorrow's breakfast. Phew... and...relax...:0)
