A daily routine has evolved..

What keeps me busy during the day?
From waking up in the morning, to going to sleep at night..
What is my daily routine?

The fact that I don't work, that I have no social life here in Ireland and that I have to rest as much as I can, can make my days seem like they are full of nothingness..
But I can tell you, they aren't really..
One thing about Anna, is that she always wants me to be busy.. If she had her way, it would be actively busy, for instance, walking, cleaning, doing housework, exercise and so on.. I've kind of tried to create a daily routine that is influenced by both Anna and Fay.. Keeping myself busy (this is Anna), however not physically but mentally (this is Fay). By mentally I mean brain work..

So I've started taking up "hobbies" I must do, sitting on my behind. This also requires calories.. or so I've been told.. Whenever I'm not on a massive low, feeling bad, worrying about food, eating every 2 hours or writing these blogs, I will either be caught up in a book, doing puzzles, making jewelry (well, trying to teach myself at the moment) or scrap booking. Yes, I have become a real wild child..
I have also started a "project" (well, that's how I like to see it anyhow), I'm putting together all my "travel stories" and stuff that I have gathered over the past 3 years. With all my beautiful memories.. This is so great to do.. For example, sorting all the emails I sent everyone with my travel stories and adventures.. I then totally "escape" into my own world again and relive everything (and most of the time I can't believe that I wrote those things and that it actually was ME who did all that), it's motivating to say the least.

With time I hope that I will be able to start learning again, so I want to do a Spanish course or an English teaching course. These can be done at home. At the moment, I cannot study, I can't process any information that is anyway "difficult" (it took me so long to write that paragraph on acupuncture.. because it was so technical.. I spent hours trying to make sense out of it all..).. So soon, I hope I'll be willing and able to focus on those more exciting things, to keep me occupied during the day and to have a goal to aim for. That way, my new found energy (that should be knocking on my door sometime soon, a couple of weeks maybe.. or I might be running away with myself) is put to good use. As I am wanting to travel once I get back to my normal self, a Spanish course will keep me motivated.. something that I will be working towards and will be needing once I start "living" again.

As well as these things that keep my brain occupied there is also the dreaded Day-time telly. I'm trying to avoid it, but it's not always easy. I love Dr Phil to bits.. and could watch cooking programs non-stop or programs about people dieting...
So many channels, there is always something to watch. It's too easy to get addicted by just throwing yourself on the sofa and letting time just pass you by.. Sometimes this is allowed right? You know what, I would be better off sleeping than watching telly.. because you actually burn more calories sleeping than watching telly!!.. This means, I probably should be tied down to the bed then..? Or storing the calories by not burning them, whilst watching Gordon Ramsay (he is my all time hero by the way.. love him to bits).. Then I would be listening to Fay, technically speaking? And by sleeping I would be listening to Anna? Hummm.... that's interesting... I'll say no more..
