Here Miss!

I'm here, I'm alive.  I'm two weeks back to work and I've survived.  It took 90 minutes this evening to travel 18 miles to get home after leaving this morning at 5.30am and I'm clinging on to the bright side.  Don't ask me what exactly this bright side is, because I really haven't put that much thought into it, but let's just say I have a fixed smile on my face, everything is fine.  Everything is fine.

After crawling to our home town, I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up my blood pressure tablets, which should have been ready days ago, and they probably were ready, but I didn't know that until I called them this morning to chase up, as I only have two days left and I hadn't received the text message to say that they were ready, like I should have.  The queue to the counter, was beyond the door, not the fault of the staff and everyone was patient, but something is going horribly wrong there and it was not what I needed after the journey home.

So, prescription collection eventually completed and then grocery shop, I came home to vent to the only person I have here, and she's not there on the other end of the phone.  Such is life, you've got to laugh.

Anyway, it's the weekend, two whole days of relative freedom.

Also, I think my sense of humour is on life support.  I know that my humour was always an acquired taste, but you know I was funny.  I can't remember that last time I made anyone laugh. 

It's now Saturday and after waking at 5.30am for no apparent reason, I decided to rise at 6ish.  It's a beautiful day and after my morning coffee ritual, I came home to do some hard core gardening for ninety minutes, I think I'll be sore tomorrow... more sore.

It's only 16 degrees but it's a beautiful day, blue skies, brilliant sunshine, actually broke a sweat in the garden.  A few leaves have started to fall and it won't be long until I'll be wearing a jacket for my coffee to ward off the chilly air.

The highlight of my day... M&S Frankincense & Myrrh Christmas candles have arrived in the outlet next to coffee, so, this officially heralds the arrival of Autumn, i.e. the run up to Christmas.  Not looking forward to Christmas this year.  Anyway, I love the scent and by January, I will be officially sick of it, but until then, I'm just going to enjoy.

Hope it's sunny with you Col x
