laura_seabrook | not well

Have not been feeling physically or emotionally well for the last week. Today I can barely breath and feel like I just need to go to sleep, and it's morning!

It IS Spring and this year my asthma seems to have got out of control, which is odd considering that most of the Privet has been chain-sawed down. However, the remains has just been sitting there, waiting for me to chop it up and dispose of it. Could that be worse somehow?

I am at a crisis with the research paper as well. I promised 15 pages in two weeks and barely got fix done, three of which I deleted in disgust. Some of that was procrastination and acting out in OpenSim. But I arched OpenSim and it made no difference. I went off the net for a couple of days and it made no difference. All I can see is a wall of stress waiting for me. Got drink last night but it didn't really help.

Today I was going to poises the privet stumps and start writing again on the research paper - seeing my supervisor on the 17th - but right now I barely have any energy and my head's spinning.

UPDATE

I got the poisoning done. I had thick gloves, air mask and googles on. I mixed the poison with the kero in equal parts out the front, and spent 20 minutes carefully painting the stumps. The cloves, brush and container have all been thrown out.

I didn't cough once with the mask on, though I sweated badly. The heat got to me more. I might try starting on the research paper after lunch.
