Not entirely sure why, but I’m very sleepy today.

I do realise I complain an awful lot, but at the same time, that’s only because I experience a lot of discomfort! Today my joints are all still sore, and in spite of a big sleep, with an hour extra courtesy of my fiancé – thank you baby, love and kisses for you! – I’m still feeling like my big cloud bed is ‘the place to be’.

I’ve had a mild cold for… oh it must be at least a week, maybe two now, and it’s really wearing me down. Probably the last four nights in a row I’ve awoken to an asthma attack, which is a very upsetting and uncomfortable feeling. I think it probably hits around the same time as the coldest part of the night, that pre-dawn time when it’s just plain freezing! Our little house is quite snug and warm, but it does get cool over night, and Spring is still in it’s infancy really.

I suppose the nigh-on constant joint pain isn’t really helping either. It’s another aspect of the cold I’ve got, but it’s one of the worst. I’m not sick enough to justify staying in bed all day, but I also know that I’m just going to get worse until I end up that sick, and then I’ll spend a couple of days in bed, and finally start to get over this, but yeah, in the mean time, I’m very tender and lethargic.

I’ve not been knitting all that much, because I just don’t have the stamina, but that just leads me to think of small projects, like this very cute Ermer shrug. These little arm covers can be just the thing for many outfits. They really do make a nice difference, and really help with transitional seasons like Spring and Autumn. Right now I want to be swathed in a gigantic blanket, but when I’m feeling better I’m sure I could find myself wearing this.
