I'm being put to shame by all you busy people! However, I'll share this that I read in a magazine, it's someone's thoughts but I can't remember who, I never know who half the celebrities are! So with apologies to the author for my forgetfulness:
"You don't always have to do stuff. Or achieve stuff. You don't have to spend your time wisely and productively. You don't have to be doing Tai Chi and DIY and artisan bread-making. Sometimes you can just be and feel things and get through and survive and that is more than enough."
And as for my day.....
Levered myself out of bed as a result of pulling my back a couple of days ago, it's the bit in between lying or sitting and standing that's stiff, the rest is okay. Pleased to report that it's improved as the day has gone on.
Another gorgeous day but not nearly so warm, the wind was coming straight off the sea, through the streets to my garden, it was proper chilly. Cut the front lawn but avoided doing much around the borders as bending down didn't seem a good option.
My friend phoned and said she was doing some grocery shopping and would get mine. She phoned later this afternoon to say that unfortunately she wasn't able to go after all and said she would go in the morning instead. Enjoyed a long chat with her anyway.
Hung the washing out and went for my walk after lunch, the usual. Logged onto Rootschat, was a bit upset by something I read. I know people are getting stressed about the situation we're all in but it was a bit unpleasant.
Did some ironing and put it away, paired up some socks, I seem to have had several pairs going through at the heel lately. Took the washing in later and got the ironing board out again, thought I may as well get it out of the way. The rest of the day was taken up with bits of cleaning and general faffing about.
Curry for tea. Then TV, went out to clap for the carers at eight, always good to see my neighbours out paying tribute. Had a chat to my next door neighbour then came inside and decided to have a glass of wine, I just fancied one. Had just drained it when my friend rang to say she'd been for the groceries tonight and would be round in five minutes, bless her. Gave everything a good soapy wash and put it away, transferred the money to her.
Can't settle now, I might end up going to bed a bit late. Never mind, there's nothing I have to get up for.
CD, I hope you feel better tomorrow, I was expecting the further three weeks so it didn't really affect me this time but I know how depressing it can feel. Try to bear in mind that it's for our own safety, we will get through this. Congratulations to your daughter, your pride is absolutely justified.
