Quiet time at Starbucks, the usual coffee was followed by mucho scouting for numerous birthday presents, June is expensive. My hip/back/whatever, and apparently now... knees, have been complaining for days and have kept me awake for most of Friday night and so I decided to boycott all forms of housework or gardening today and do nothing much except write and watch TV... all day.
I had the usual Saturday evening catch up phone call with my cousin L and then poured a glass of wine while I watched 'Gangster Squad' with the scrumptious Ryan Gosling. Actually, it's chock full of great actors, strung together by a great story, I'll be watching this one, again and again.
With wine drunk and film watched, I took enough pain killers to make a baby rhino woozy, and retired to bed. I slept like a log and woke at least, 50% pain free.
So, I'm here, morning after, having my coffee. The sun is shining, it's actually warm. I cardio danced for 12 minutes without realising I'd tipped over the 10 minutes mark without realising, (normally, I'm clock watching from 8 minutes onwards.)
The head is looking good, did I tell you that I had it chopped off? Well, it was getting on my nerves. Just too much hair and so on pay day, last Friday, I headed to Louise for a major overhaul. It's a sort of scruffy bob and it just about stretches to almost my shoulders. It's the shortest I've worn it for years and it feels great, liberating even.
So, with the sun shining, and my new do, 12 mins of dance cardio under my belt and in much less pain than recently, I feel like I can conquer the world.
The future has been looking bleak and worrisome for the past 6 months, but now, things are a changing.
