I set my alarm clock to wake me earlier this morning. Not tomorrow early, just half an hour earlier than I have been getting up, in order to ease me in gently back into work mode. My brain however, was way ahead of me and I woke much earlier than scheduled, it's obviously starting to get back into routine, all on it's own.
Got up today, (31st August, just to check you're with me...) and my "use by 6 Sept" milk was off. What the heck is going on with my milk? And... why does it keep expiring prematurely? Is my fridge nothing more than a cupboard with a light that doesn't work? I have found a silver lining to the impending cold weather... I can keep my milk outside.
It was so great catching up this morning, not that I don't always enjoy our chats but when I put down the phone, I felt like we'd had a proper girlie catch up, all that was missing was me being there in person... and wine. You did make me laugh though and I love that we can be honest with each other. I don't have anyone else that will tell me, with love, that I'm delusional. Thank heaven for you ;)
So, I'm here, in my window, for one last morning until I return to work. My friend is behind the bar, and she's done my coffee just how I like it, (the last couple of day's haven't been so great,) so it feels like an extra treat today.
There is a man pacing up and down, in front of my window. He's smoking, gesticulating like a conductor with the cigarette hand, whilst talking on his phone. His coffee and laptop are in here, with me. What ever is up... he's not happy.
As I was saying earlier, it's chilly. I'm wearing a sleeveless, wrap around top as a last nod to summer, and my cream jacket... probably also it's last outing before it's washed and packed away until Spring. Jacket hasn't come off as it's too... well, chilly.
As usual, you and R have given me much to think about, thank you, I love that you remind me that there are options out there. To some extent, I feel like I've had the rug pulled out from under me recently with the realisation that work is sucking the life out of me, family, family health problems, general life stuff. I may be sitting on my backside, on the rug, but I'm fine, just have a lot of stuff flying around my brain at the moment with no safe landing place in sight. I will however, be upright and fixing the rug shortly. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
Whatever health issues come up for family, as you know, you have no control over what happens, all you can do is offer offer support. What will be, will be.
Pacing man is back outside... pacing, for a third time. He really needs to chill.
I think walking is an excellent idea. It's brilliant exercise and who knows... you may even break into a jog before the month is out ;) I also think keeping a record, even if it's only to me, is a good idea too, it may help motivate!
I had a list of things in my head that I might do today but, the reality is, I don't think I can be bothered. I know that sounds terrible. I'll leave here to buy a birthday present for L and it's payday so I need to stock up on essentials like Evening Primrose Oil, (trust me... it's essential.) I'll also hit the supermarket which will save me a trip towards the end of the week, then it'll be home to tidy and get everything ready for tomorrow.
I now have two men, on phones, pacing before my window, it's getting busy out there.
Only toning for me today, hip is still bothersome, if it doesn't improve soon, may have to go and annoy the doc.
It's now almost 2pm, I got confirmation that my phone package has been changed, and as a thank you... they've given me 100 free texts to use before the end of the month. Do you think they know the end of the month is midnight? Still, it's the thought that counts... I suppose. If only I knew 100 people. I will try out the texting to you later on, don't want to do it now, just in case it worked and woke you.
They didn't have the miso soup that I was going to buy, well... they did but I'm not paying £3.59 for four sachets, that's ridiculous. Healthy eating switch over isn't happening either, I was craving cheese for some reason so tomorrow... I'll defninitely be back on track.
