- I woke up and didn't feel like I had been hit by a vehicle.
- I have ordered my bed and it will arrive in two weeks!
- I've been prescribed lots of vitamin B supplements to fight off the fatigue, and I believe I am starting to feel small benefits already and it has only been two days!
- I have picked out some pillows with animal print that I love.

The wolf print is beautiful and it is baby soft :O[/caption][caption id="attachment_145" align="aligncenter" width="300" class=" "]
And I love the texture of this jacquard fox pillow :)[/caption]Yesterday was a pretty productive one, my bedroom that I am part way through decorating seems to be coming along nicely and I'm starting to get organised for my OU degree that's starts in October which is both exciting and terrifying to say the least! Hopefully I will have everything done in time so I can get started early, and it'll be nice to finally sleep in my room and not curled up on the sofa downstairs!
I'm also desperately trying to make a commitment to writing down an overview of my day trying to focus on the positives in life as I've been finding it rather difficult to adjust to living with a chronic illness these past few months. I have had a diagnosis for Hypermobility syndrome at the beginning of the year but it is only now that I am starting to really feel and understand the true extent of my limitations. I haven't posted in a fair few months as I have not had the time, or when I have had the time I lacked the strength but hopefully starting now that will change.
This has led me to make the decision to hold off beginning to actively blog about health and chronic illness, particularly invisible / genetic illnesses because I need to take some time to fix my mind and body. My condition has hit me pretty hard, I'm having to deal with more frequent flare ups, more painful subluxations and dislocations amongst other things due to what I believe to be the constant change in weather and my swollen lymph nodes.
I have been attempting to keep myself as busy as possible between my hospital appointments, when my mind is active I am better able to disassociate from the pain and I can get pleasure out of doing things. However, when I can't disassociate I seem to self destruct and become depressed. It is something that I am currently working towards changing, but until I achieve that I shall be using this space I have created to challenge my depression and vent my frustration.
My plan for today is to check out Freshers fair online for OU, play some League of Legends and I might even finish off painting today, but as my bed won't arrive for a while I might take some time to relax and enjoy the pleasant weather whilst it is still here. I should also think about creating a Christmas list on Whishlistr for my family, I know it is still pretty early to be thinking about Christmas but when I went out shopping the other day they already had Christmas stock in and I've already been asked what I want.
There needs to be some kind of petition that bans Christmas items going on sale before Nov 1, everyone starts thinking about Christmas too early and forgets the best holiday of the year... HALLOWEEN! My costume is undecided as I haven't made any plans this year as of yet, but no doubt someone will be dragging me out of my cave. At least it looks like October will be a lot less cold than it was compared to last year, I wasn't able to sit in the garden with my laptop like I am doing now.
Do you have any plans for Halloween? If so, what will you be dressing up as this year ?
