Halfway to the weekend

Another day, another way

Well I finally admitted defeat yesterday, after we'd finished our morning and lunchtime huddle, I nipped to the shops to get me a swimming costume as mine fell apart as I was hanging it on the line, got home in pain in my back, neck and legs thinking yay, I can have a rest and it'll ease.  Sat down and starting writing some stuff in a pad and my hand was hurting so much I had to stop writing at which point I realised I have to do something, if only to find out exactly what's causing it, is it Rheumatoid arthritis, the menopause who knows, but unless I go to the doctors I'll never know.  I nipped over the doctors I can see it from my window and asked for an appointment to try and find out what's causing my pain, the appointment is June 12th, it's face to face and hopefully will be worth waiting for!  

I see that as a win because I've took a step in the right direction, other wins / smile moments from yesterday include, resisting buying McDonalds with my reward points when I went to get a swimming costume, it would've been so easy to order on my app and nip in as I could hear my belly rumbling, but I didn't, I waited until I got home and ate the leftover baguette, removing most of the bread from inside.

The cats making a bed out of a suitcase also made me smile, both of them at different times, giving me photo opportunities :) 

Me managing to do 7,997 steps on fitbit, that's good for me these days, gotta keep moving they say, so I'll keep trying. 

Our huddles are always a smile moment, I do enjoy them so much.

Eating a delicious dinner together with Aryn, we both really enjoyed it, forgot the photo, but we had this gammon shank with pineapple, 320 calories,

  

with chunky chips 273 calories, I gave Aryn a few more than I had, we had peas and an egg too.  

It was so good, I'd definitely want that again, part of the meal deal offer, £12 for main, side, dessert and wine.

Another smile moment has just landed on my lap!  I'm trying to type and I have a Coco on my laptop!  Trying to type around him ;)  He is a real character, I have to stand over them when I feed them because as soon as he's licked the good stuff off him, he'll nudge Minnie out the way and have some of hers if I don't stop him.

My house looks like a bombs hit it, so that'll be my focus when I get back from work later, not my favourite way to spend my day but it needs doing, never-ending isn't it!

I need to take meat out the freezer before I forget so we have food later, I'm thinking a curry for dinner later, so I'll say goodbye and have a good day.  Focus on the positives!

Mwah, luv ya

Love me xx
