Good energy is contagious!
I had a really busy grown-up day yesterday, I don't like this adulting lark, it's hard work! I went swimming and did my 32 lengths (1/2 mile) and I really enjoyed being back in the pool. Then I came home and made me a little breakfast before starting on the kitchen, OH MA'AN! A good 3 hours that kitchen took me, I gave the fridge a good clear out, emptying it and washing all the shelves, cleaned the cooker and its hood, all the doors on the cupboards then hoovering the floor and washing it. Then my phone range YAY, and I had a natter with my brother.
My next mission was the living room and more hoovering, washing was almost done, three loads, by the end of it all I was pooped. Now I had at one point took the kitchen bin out the back to pour boiling water in it and clean it, so for a couple of minutes the back door was open, I had the kitchen door pushed too so the kitchen seemed in my head safe.
I'd finished doing what I was doing and decided it was time to sit on my backside and have a sarnie, but I noticed that there only seemed to be one cat visible and it was Coco, the one who would hide, I called Minnie, went searching for her and I couldn't find her anywhere. By now I'm starting to panic, I've lost the cat, she must have snuck out whilst I was cleaning the kitchen, I'm out the back looking in my garden and next doors, I've called my sister saying, 'I've lost one of the cats', she's on her way round. She comes in and says there's a cat out the front arguing with a magpie, me 'is it grey', yeah, it wasn't, and it wasn't Minnie. How am I going to tell Aryn, I've lost a cat, he'll never forgive me, I run upstairs one more time and there's the little shit sitting on the floor in my bedroom on the grey rug looking at me as if to say, 'what is wrong with you woman!'
I've never been so relieved, me and my sis sat and had a natter for ages, before we both realised, we needed to get back to what we were doing before I lost the cat!
Aryn got back from school five minutes later and we went to the gym and did about 40 minutes then nipped to TK Maxx to look at stuff, but didn't buy anything, I'll get his joggers from Sports Direct or somewhere cheap, he's growing too quickly for expensive stuff!
Once home, we got our cook on again, our Hello Fresh box had arrived on the afternoon, and last night's tea was Thai style peanut chicken noodles with green beans, took less than 20 minutes to knock up, minimal washing up and it was delicious again. I'd actually give this one 10/10, I really enjoyed it.
Because I've had a meal pack for 4 people, (I've changed next weeks to 3) we were about to divide the ingredients into two and only cook half the only thing we had to open really was the chicken and that's now in a tub. We can have it later in the week, or I can freeze the chicken and we have it next week or week after.
These are the ingredients so split in two easily and this is what it looked like cooked.
Today's meal is lamb meatballs and cheesy mash, I'm really looking forward to that! Then he can decide if he wants to go out for his birthday, have takeaway or cook on Wednesday.
By now it's about 6 and my body hurts like a bitch, my sciatica has kicked in with a vengeance, my knee feels like it's been hit by a hammer and my back not wanting to be ignored and feel left out has decided to join the OUCH gang. I start watching a film but 45 minutes in, I decide to go lie in bed and watch it because I can't get comfortable.
Himself calls at half eight and yeah, I had fallen asleep, he said, 'I wouldn't have called if I'd known you were asleep', I replied, 'I didn't know I was asleep either!' His accommodation has no parking, they've turned the car park into a beer garden - why would you do that on a pub! He'd parked it on the street which you can do between 6.30pm and 7am, so hopefully it'll still be there this morning!
I've woke up in pain, part of me wants to go swimming, part of me is saying go tomorrow and Friday and ease yourself back into it. I love that my joints don't hurt when I'm in the water, but the soon start hurting again when I get out and it's all my left side of my body.
Hey ho, here's to putting my positive head on, I'm going to take painkillers and pretend I'm 33, lol, let's have a great day, a positive day, and a busy day at work hopefully.
Mwah, luv ya
Love me xx
