For Today… 15th December 2015
Outside my window… it’s lobbing it down. Cosy inside but I’ve got a full shift this afternoon.
I am thinking… about Tim Peake. They’ve made his story very human and easy to read. His kids were so excited but you could see the concern in his Mum’s eyes. Ironically, in the infinite reaches of space, it all looks a bit claustrophobic up there.
I am thankful … for my family’s health. Touch wood.
My thoughts are with … some close friends who are debt ridden and may have just gone a bit deeper with a large Xmas loan.
I am wearing… a superman blue charity hoodie for Super Josh.
I am creating… three kick ass daughters, judging by conversations I’ve had over the last few days.
I am going… to get wet if I stick to my walking regime.
I am wondering… why folk leave Xmas to the last minute. We’ve had lots of practice and are ready apart from the fresh shop near the day. Mums coming, presents are wrapped, decs are up….. But I know many will be wandering around aimlessly or frantically with their cash in their mits buying stuff they dont need.
I am reading… up on hypertension. I think the readings they took were duff but will get a monitor anyway.
I am hoping… Mum’s spirits pick up for the festives. Might take her to Christingle….
I am learning… that controlling my diet is do-able. Most of a stone lighter after 6 weeks of being good and feeling it every day. Pains I had have gone and I feel less lethargic.
In my garden… oo that sounds grand: its a yard, folks, and most of that is a ramp. Full of bins borrowed from a neighbour while shes in Oz til New Year. We’re having a good clear out and the binspace comes in handy.
In my kitchen… the soup maker is clean and ready for tonight. There’s wrapping paper in case we still need it and a few packs of cards for last minute wishes.
A favourite quote for today: What we think, we become. Buddha.
One of my favourite things… sitting planning with Gill and tea.
Bit of a slide show to follow. Normal Xmas stuff but the one with Ashley and his Nana was just after he’d done his Jai Ho dance at school and he’s wearing a kurta.
