Saying
yes to happiness means learning to say no to the things and people that stress
you out. Thema Davis
So it’s
day 12 of my 21 day experiment, in case you missed it I’m giving up alcohol for
21 days to see what difference if any it has on my health and happiness. Last weekend I felt more energised and did
more than I have done on a weekend for a while, by yesterday I was
shattered! I don’t think drinking a
glass of wine at night, or more at weekends affects my energy levels much, don’t
get me wrong if I have a session with my bestie - that does, it can take a week
to get over one of them, but we don’t do that very often. However enjoying a glass or two of good wine
doesn’t seem to be contributing to my energy levels, I will however continue
with the experiment to see if that changes.
I also wondered if it was affecting my mood because alcohol is well
known as a depressant, or if it was in fact my hormones, or maybe even a
combination of the two – or maybe I’m just a moody cow sometimes! Well it turns out if yesterday morning is
anything to go by, it ain’t the booze, so it’s either hormones or I’ve become a
snappy bitch ;-). I soon cheered up when
my members started appearing and sharing their love and success. I was even okay with having a room full of
kids, we even had batman in the room, and he let me try out his mask, he even
told his mom I could borrow his spare cape if I wanted. One little girl made me a cake and told her
mom, “Bev doesn’t need to lose weight, I’ll take her a cake”, well of course
she’s now my favourite child, Batman didn’t say that! I’m so fickle.
Feeling
much more awake this morning after a good nights sleep, I have paperwork to do,
vets at ten then I hope to empty my car and take a trip to Ikea, want to give
my living room a makeover this weekend, that’s my mission – oh and clean my
car, that’s going to be hard work, I really am a messy tramp! My mom is too, so between us we can’t find
anything EVER, which is why I end up a moody cow because I throw strops at 7am
when I’m looking for clean knickers or a frying pan to make my breakfast. I’m not dramatic at all MUCH, ask my bestie,
she’ll confirm that ;0)
The
truth is I’m a middle aged single woman who works near to a fifty hour week, I
have no natural domestic goddess tendencies so my house is untidy, I tend to
throw things on the floor a lot, for example there’s a box sitting on top of my
waste paper bin in my office, it’s been there since Wednesday and instead of
moving it, I’ve thrown my rubbish around the bin on the floor – I know that
means I will end up having to pick that rubbish up, but when I do it, I’m busy
doing other work – it all makes sense in my head. And you know what, I am me, this is who I am,
I make no excuses for my personality and traits, I’ve tried to be different and
it doesn’t work, I improve for a while then revert to type. I have other talents that more than make up
for my lack of neatness ;) however I
will once more try to get some order of semblance into my house, I will get
some storage units for the living room to put my crafting stuff in so it’s not
lying about everywhere. I’m going to get
something for the post to go in as mom as taken to putting it wherever it takes
her fancy, it’s taken me a week to find my race for life letter! As I say to my members, if you don’t like
something CHANGE IT! 95% of the time
being an untidy madam doesn’t bother me at all, for some reason spring is the
other 5%, so at least once a year I have a sort out. Roll on Summer I say, then I can get up the
garden and not notice the untidy house ;)
Oh it’s
Good Friday, apparently people eat Fish today!
Don’t forget if you make it fish and chips to ProPoint them, especially
if they’re from the chippy. I’ll be
having a chicken dinner, I’m not a religious person and I’m sure if he’s real,
he’ll understand there’s a chicken crown in my fridge with a sell by date.
Have a
Good Friday BeYOUtiful. xx
