Good morning, everyone. It's damp and dull and none too warm out there this morning and my optimism yesterday was very misplaced as by lunchtime it was chucking it down and continued to rain on and off for the rest of the day. Today BBC weathjer says 'sunny intervals and a gentle breeze'. Hmmmmm - we will see.
You know how sometimes you get these days where things seem to go just a bit wonky? Yesterday was a bit like that really. I had to dash out to pay a bill instead of the swimming I was originally planning, my friend didn't turn up for coffee, I managed to drop off some books at the hospice shop but nearly overturned a display, they the rain started so no washing on the line, no strawberries to pick, the meatballs I made were dry . . . oh, lots of little things.
I went early to bed!
Thankfully, it's a new day today.
I have nothing in the diary today. I'd like to think that it means I will get loads of little things done inside but, in reality, I suspect I will snooze and idle. It's SW group this evening and I am pretty sure it won't be great news on the weigh in front. I'm carrying the effects of the weekend's indulgences. Ah, well, that's life!
I seem to be uncharacteristally gloomy this morning - I think I need coffee!
Have a good day, one and all. xx
I wish I could join you for coffee, Joy - then we could cheer each other up! I hope your day is a much better one than yesterday, we all have days like that occasionally. xx
ReplyDeleteI wish we could too, Sooze. :-)
DeleteI do feel better after my little moan so maybe things will look up.
I've just planted out one of my baby lupin plants that Dad gave me while the ground is damp. That always cheers me up. :-)

Hope todaý is much better. Good luck with weigh in 😊
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn, I'm sure it will be. And thanks. I can feel determination growing again so, while this evening ight be not great, I know I'm in it for the long haul and I'm home this weekend so can really go for it!

...........but the steady rain was much needed! and maybe SW will be OK.
ReplyDeleteI foolishly wasted the dry part of the day by needing to go shopping
It really was needed - and more, if truth be told.
DeleteSW won't be OK - the weigh in part, I mean - but I hope it won't be too bad and anyway, if it is, it's my own responsibility and I know what to do about it!
I have given myself a ticking off and have put on my positivity hat again! :-)
I bet the shopping needed doing though - and nicer to go shopping in the dry.

I often have days when the weather does not agree with what I plan. When I was sewing it was glorious outside - good gardening weather. Now I can go outside the weather is unpredictable and often windy or raining at the moment!
ReplyDeleteHope today better day for you!x
Isn't that always the way! Haw dare it disagree with what we have planned, eh? :-)

And good morning to you, Joy, it's a nice morning here in Torbay. I often have those 'wonky' days, far too many now I'm older! And I drop things as the tips of my fingers are now worn smooth. Pity this doesn't happen on my face, instead of wrinkles, ah ha! Smooth where it can't be seen, what a waste!

Morning, Margaret! :-) I know exactly what you mean - it's a right waste, I agree.

I had a really “wonky” day yesterday too. I'd eaten something that disagreed with me the day before. On top of various permanent health problems it proved too much and I spent a large part of yesterday feeling sorry for myself.
ReplyDeleteAfter our evening meal, plain baked potato in my case, we went to look at the waves and ended up walking part of the coastal path for a couple of hours. That turned my mindset round completely and this morning is sunny.
No longer am I thinking I’m just a washed up has been but that I can do it; even if walking is painful I can do it!
In no way am I suggesting that you are feeling sorry for yourself; you come across as being very positive most of the time and everyone needs to get things off their chest sometimes.
Look back over what you have achieved in the last two years both emotionally and physically and you'll realise that you are having a blip.
Spending time encouraging your dad to move forward can't be easy and eating with him has to be meals that he enjoys.
Go for it Joy, you can do it!

Thank you, Sue, thank you.
DeleteI'm really sorry to ready that you've felt unwell - not nice at all and most understandable that you feel sorry for yourself. I love your positive approach - yes, you can, and so can I. We both can.
xx
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the SW weigh in isn't as bad as you are expecting it to be. I too am having s bit of a down day so am taking myself off to the cinema ... it always feels very indulgent to be watching a film at midday when in my mind I should be working!
ReplyDeleteThese down days are not nice, are they. Maybe the film will cheer you up. See a film in the weekday midday is like going on holiday in term time. There's more than a hint of 'naughty' about it!

I hope you're feeling brighter now that the day has gone on, Joy. I sometimes find dreams can affect my mood when I wake up, that's if I remember them. X
ReplyDeleteHope your day has turned out much more cheerful, Joy!
