The reason that I am doing these things so early in the morning, is that I went to bed early last night, fell asleep almost immediately and had nine hours sleep before waking this morning. I'm still yawning every so often, but I feel a bit brighter than I have for several days.
So some early morning studying, followed by a quick trip to the shops, means that I should be able to please myself about how I spend the rest of the day. It will probably be some time spent reading, and more time spent with the knitting. Yes, I know that it isn't a very exciting existence, but it is manageable and I do feel as though I am achieving something each day. And sometimes just surviving the day can be an achievement in itself.
