Hi all,
Oh you're so positive Em! How do you do it?!! I must say tho, that day when it all seemed to be about others wasn't a bad day. I guess it's the glow you get when you do things for others. You know that one Em, you're constantly doing for others!
Glad your roof is getting the attention it needs, thats awesome!
So true what you say tho, sometimes just getting up, wiping a bench or feeding the animals is about all I get done. Apart from being mum and wife, listening and being company, keeping my self regulated with some good food and maybe a tiny bit of some relaxing activity, whether it a tv program late at night, or walking the dog on the beach, or reading my book while I have lunch. All of that in one day sounds good to me! But I think I will have to lower my expectations, I won't have time when I'm working. I can see time off is going to be very precious! Altho it's funny, I'm doing housework differently now, probably getting little things done when I think of it, or see it, rather than putting it off.
Today I had to let go of any grand plans of achievement- it was stressing me out! So I made myself available for T and her friend, while they painted rocks-very pretty too! Did the washing, and put some cold happy buns on to rise. Washed up. Made lunch.
And I came on here.
Misstep that shimmery orange is beautiful on you! So cheerful!
And Malaika, that sux about your food intolerances flaring up. I can understand a little bit, from my own perspective. I have resisted cakes for nearly two weeks now, and no headaches, except for a monthly one last nite, which got better as soon as I napped in front of the tv (couldn't go to bed cos the kids were still up). I'm hoping I may have found a key to well being- for me at least. It's lucky I love cakes made with almond meal! They seem to agree with me.
Cheers everyone,
J*
