Needles and stuff

I've been sleeping terribly recently and having serious anxiety issues, so I thought I'd try acupuncture, having had it recommended by a couple of lovely people. Went to the Westminster Polyclinic, again on recommendation. Felt very odd. Needles in my forehead, wrists, legs and ankles, the goal being to reduce stress, promote healthy sleep and maybe get some energy back.

Well, the anxiety dreams have tailed off a little (not as serious as they used to be), and this morning I slept all the  way through to 7am for the first time in weeks! Maybe it did help after all. I'll go back on Friday for more, I reckon. 

In other news - we've started planning for Christmas :) Regardless of whether I've had my tx or not, I'll be spending it at home with my boy, which will be fab. Got 4 mates coming over to share the day with us, and if I'm all laid up they'll be doing the cooking - bonus :)

I get to have my own proper Christmas tree this year and everything - and I've even bought a dining table and chairs so we can sit and eat properly! 

Next Monday I've got my next clinic appointment, J's got her sight test and hopefully by the end of the day we'll be able to confirm out to everyone else the date and what's happening, which will then leave us 10 days to get stuff sorted out.

I'm actually excited about it now. Been feeling so rough the last couple of weeks I think I'll actually appreciate the change if it's successful. Last night I went for a quick drink after work and after just one glass of wine felt so poorly I had to leave - and ended up throwing up into a bin in the middle of Regent Street. How embarrassing.  And ironic given how much of a drinker I was in my youth, but rarely if ever had that happen!

So, bring it on, I say. At least next week J will be able to make plans too, must be doubly irritating to be voluntarily going through all this!
