In very exciting news, my blood test results are back and my thyroid levels are very good (thanks drugs!).
After 90 days, I feel much more lively and energetic, which is brilliant – and astonishing – I hadn’t quite appreciated just how sluggish and listless I had become.
Nothing doing with the cholesterol levels though – still slightly too high. It doesn’t need medication, but it does probably need exercise. Something I have been avoiding for way too long.
Deep down I’m hoping it is possible to get back into running without breaking myself entirely. This will likely require very, very tiny baby steps and a lot of thought and extreme preparation.

^ The meds require a minimum 30 minute gap after taking before food and/or drink. I have learned considerable patience in this time.

Exercise in the 30 minuteses?
I like your way of thinking!
That’s where I’m slotting in the morning pages, but potentially an excellent idea for when it begins to get cooler.
I’ve been on that medication for several years and when I was working I got into a routine where I took the tablet in the middle of the night on one of the many occasions when I woke up. It became such a habit that I only knew I’d done it when I woke up and saw the tablet was no longer in the little eggcup that I keep by the side of the bed with a glass of water. It’s a bit more erratic now though and often I wake up and it is still there.
This is such a clever idea!
I must try it – because I am definitely still in the “wake many times in the middle of the night” stage.
