The Anonymous Widower

A Very Bad Night’s Sleep

Last night, I must have woke several times in the night, before I finally gave up at about three-thirty and got up and started doing the puzzles on the Internet, and having some mugs of tea.

At four I went back to bed and was able to grab perhaps thirty minutes of sleep.

But my body hurt all over with a vengeance.

• There was pain in the back of my left hand.
• My toes hurt badly.
• My right hip was painful.
• All my skin felt very dry.

So at five,  I decided to get up and have the cure-all remedy, which is a deep hot bath.

It certainly worked and I felt a lot better,

After the bath, I got back in bed, and although I didn’t sleep, I rose and  left the house soon after nine to get my gluten-free breakfast in Leon on Moorgate, with added tea and orange juice.

As I left the house, I noticed that one of the upstairs windows was open, so I had to go back and shut it.

As I never open this window, I thought it must have been the cleaners, who’d left it open. Especially, as it had happened before, a couple of weeks ago.

But then, I realised what had happened.

• The window hadn’t been properly secured.
• Last night, a storm with a low-pressure area had gone through..
• The pressure had just been low enough to pop the window open.
• The low-pressure had then just sucked the water out of my body.

My hot bath had put the water back in, the way, that it had come out.

After breakfast and picking up a prescription from Boots, I took a bus home.

On arriving home, I needed to have a poo, but was unable to go, as I was just too constipated.

After a laxative and several drinks, that problem was cured.

Conclusion

Were all my problems today, down to the fact that the weather stole my body’s water and I didn’t drink enough to put it all back?
