The rain needs to do one!

Thursday 5th August 2021

You decide :):

Alfie managed a couple of shorter walks yesterday but the pushchair is going to have to come out if I'm going to get to walk any decent distances, saying that the forecast ain't so pretty for the weekend, definitely not walking weather, I'm not a fan of walking in storms!  

This was delicious, if not high on calories, 426 for a giant crumpet with egg and curry beanz.  On the upside there was 10.4g of fibre in the meal and beans are one of our five a day.  It did set me up for the day though, so I went to our Wednesday morning huddle with a full belly, it was another cracking morning, so good seeing them grow, especially this one as we opened it in July later than our other ones so we weren't sure how it would take off in the summer. 

I'm thinking another crumpet this morning, it was good, ooo maybe with cheese on!  Save the beans for a jacket spud maybe or have tomorrow on the last crumpet.  Isn't it wonderful that these are the only decisions I have to make at the moment!

My lovely sister came and dog sat Alfie yesterday so I could go for a blood test and have a drive round the Sainsbury's to stock up on my wine whilst it's on offer, he just sat in the porch waiting in-between coming and barking/screaming at her like a siren apparently!  He's so not getting used to being left!  It was good to have a couple of hours without thinking 'where's the dog?' though I won't lie. 

I've not heard back from the cottage I emailed about renting, so I'll maybe give them a call if I haven't heard anything by tomorrow, I don't want someone else booking it do I, especially now I've finally decided to go, I've been mulling it over for a couple of months, do I, don't I, shall I, shan't I, can I afford it, blah blah blah, it's not like me to overthink a decision but this one is different, I'm going without mom and it's a bit weird. 

Bloxwich today, looking forward to catching up with everyone especially as I know we have a few new members coming and their people I haven't seen for a long time so that's great news, oh we can hug too now if we want to!  Who knew I'd turn into someone who wanted a hug, I used to flinch when people came in for a hug when I first became a coach! 

I read the rest of my book yesterday, gave myself permission to just sit and relax, the last few days for the first time since mom died I felt like I 'should' be doing something, I needed to remind myself that there's nothing I have to do (apart from work of course) and I can spend my down time doing whatever I want, if that's being a lazy bitch and watching tele, then that's okay!

On that note, this lazy bitch is gonna go shower and get ready for work, I've just wasted ten minutes looking at other cottages just in case! 

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me x
