Sometimes we need a reminder.
So here's to living in the present, yesterday I had a very productive day, went to the baths and did 50 lengths, took my time, used that time to empty my mind, it was very therapeutic I have to say. I completely zoned out and enjoyed my hour in the water. I'm contemplating getting my yoga mat back out the shed, now Aryn is at school in the afternoons, I could find the time to do a bit of yoga in the living room. There are some classes at the gym but I'm in bed week days by the time the 8.30pm one starts and the other is at 5pm and that's when Aryn comes and sits with me, he gets back from school around 3.30 and we eat together and watch some tv on the days I don't have to go back to work, we still get an hour on the couple of days I do have to go back and thankfully it's only for a couple of hours.
Yesterday we had fish pie, he'd asked if we could because his grandad used to make one, he rarely talks about his previous life so I was like of course we can. Fish Pie is not my forte, I won't lie, but I cooked this Sunday, I didn't want to make a white sauce and I had a jar of Dolmio lasagne sauce in the cupboard that had been there for months, so I used that. Cooked the fish in the oven whilst I was cooking Sunday dinner, added a couple of tablespoons of the sweetcorn and peas from Sunday dinner to the sauce and put it all in a silver try and topped with potato and cheese. I would've heated it all up in the oven but he insisted it had to be microwaved, that the cheese shouldn't be brown it should all be sloppy - who am I to disagree! He ate the lot, that'll do me.
It was tasty to be fair, the rest has gone in the freezer, another meal, another day.

I spent a lot of time yesterday working on Be Happy Owls stuff, so the day flew by. I also had my hair cut, OMG, I was very brave, I bet I've had 6 inches off - eek. It was driving me mad when I get out the pool, all luggy and tangled, my hairdresser agreed it needed a good trim, I hadn't had it cut since last November I think, it now just sits on my shoulders and I can still tie it up, just about. It took me the rest of the day to come to terms with what I'd agreed to once I'd seen it in the mirror lol Be interesting to see what it looks like when I leave it to dry naturally this morning after my swim.
I'm supposed to be making a sweet and sour today, but I'll need to go back to the shop for a pepper and onion because I don't have any, not sure if I have a tin of pineapple but if I don't I need that too. It's the Mayflower sweet and sour sauce and it says to use battered chicken, I have lots of chicken nuggets in the freezer I'm tempted to use instead!
Oh I've no idea about the scales today, I'll take what it says, I can't believe himself is losing weight, he's not even trying grrr.
Here's to a great day,
Mwah, luv ya
Love me x
