Moving this Monday!

Monday 14th February 2022
If you feel overwhelmed today, be gentle with yourself.  Life can be a lot to handle!  

Well, being a menopausal woman can be challenging, not just for the woman but for those around them!  Saturday morning, he comes down and comments on me singing and where do I get my energy, Saturday teatime, he's asking me why I'm crying!  What makes it worse is, I don't even know!  I have no reason to be upset or sad, life is good right now, really good actually, don't get me wrong it ain't all sunshine and rainbows but there's no issues we can't handle together.  

Friday we'd drove to Hereford after he'd finished work so we got there after five, he followed me back and it was horrendous rain and getting darker by the minute, but we made it and we were back by half seven, both of us shattered after a week of very, early morning.  We both worked Saturday so I think I was just really tired.  I know it's coming up to a year since mom passed and I had stopped to have a chat with a friend when we went to buy bedding for the motorhome, she was telling me how she was caring for her mom who has cancer and working too and oh I felt for her so much because I've been there haven't I.  Whether that triggered my tears I don't know, I'm not sad moms dead, I know that might sound cruel but I can't miss the woman who sat in ths house this time last year, she wasn't my mom.  My mom may have stopped breathing on 22/3/21 but she died years before, so I did my grieving for my best friend a long time ago.  Anyway the tears are what they are, they'll come and go as they need to and I'll be okay.

Yesterday we ran a few errands, then they went to watch motocross in Aldridge whilst I enjoyed pottering and cooking a pork dinner, bloomin delicious it was too, loads of veggies on it, carrots, cauli, cabbage, peas, roast parsnips and mash nom nom, not forgetting stuffing.  I just need to get the man child to eat the veggies ;( He can get fibre from those Fibre one bars but it's not the best way of doing it is it!

Up at 4 this morning, so when Elle posted she'd been for a walk, I decided to do the same, my ribs are loads better and I need to get my fitness levels back up somewhat.  I was out 45 minutes and covered 2 miles, 5k steps.  Perfect start to the day, it's glorious out there. 

Drinking water has really made a difference this week too, we went to buy water bottles Wednesday and I can feel a difference for sure, the dark bags under my eyes aren't as bad, so I will definitely be keeping that up.  

I've just finished cleaning the kitchen, I couldn't be bothered to wash all the pots yesterday, we were shattered and ended up in bed by 7 knowing we were up at 4, we slept too. 

Off out for lunch today, will try not to go crazy as I do want to lose more weight, another stone at least, a stone and a half would be amazing to add to the 21lb that's already gone. 

The weeks forecast is much better, dry and sunny most of the week - we all need some sunshine for sure,

Here's to a fabulous week, enjoy your day. 

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me
