I had an hour without significant pain this morning. I'm afraid I didn't use it to solve the problems of the world: I went back to bed and rested. Now I am in pain again and solving the problems of the world, but I feel quite defiant about having got 7 hours sleep and one hour additional and entirely unexpected rest.
Today is a day for problems, so I'm glad I did that. The issues with my electricity bill have been solved (someone put my address instead of theirs when they moved house) and I've been given til December to pay an enormous electricity bill. And the threat to have my electricity cut off has been rescinded (for the bills were sent to the wrong place and it wasn't my fault) and I've had all the fines waived (for the bills were sent to the wrong place and it wasn't my fault).
I have one last editing task to do, and then my focus will be on the nightmare task. I have a nightmare task. If I can de-nightmare it by next Monday or Tuesday, everything will be OK. If I can't. It won't. I have to clear everything else and sort things out and if I can clear my decks for the day by 3 pm, then I can spend 8 hours working intensely on problem-solving.
