Day 1293 spring cleaning?!?

Another great nights’ sleep… slightly more restless but that’s down the beached whale Indian food belly…. But still… I woke early and went back to sleep until after 8am. That’s late for us!!

I did my usual Sunday morning positive FB trawl. It’s so good when you get your social media feed set up exactly as you want it. I only get positivity from it.

I love this next one.

It’s cold but a beautifully sunny day… it’s definitely the calm after the storm. There wasn’t a breath of wind today.

We randomly started “spring” cleaning the whole of the kitchen. Every cupboard was blitzed. Simple things but I love it. I love a good clear out.

4 big bags to go out (just from the kitchen) and a sneaky tub of one cal spray has been in this kitchen since 2020!!!

All the cupboards have been cleaned inside too. We’ve moved things around. a change is as good as a rest!

That took us until lunchtime. I only fasted for 15 hours today, but that is ok.

Quick shout out to my friend Tracey in Canada who is waking up on day 4 of a 4 day fast!!!! Wow!! I would love to do this at some point.

After lunch… Ellison’s recipe home made soup…. (Yum) I started putting away washing and hoovered the house. I’ve done nothing this week as I felt so rotten so it was good to feel better and tidy up.

I then went outside and poop scooped and dead headed the beautiful hydrangea!

They are all gone now!!

We sat outside for a few minutes as it was really lovely in the sun. It was soon really cold the minute the sun went behind the clouds.

I’ve had a really good day. I haven’t needed a sleep either!

I’ll leave you with our gangly Khaleesi who’s making herself at home!

Oh I’ve also booked to go back down to Devon to stay with Helen at the end of February, start of March. Amazing what’s possible when my head is clear.

It’s been a rough week but, so many people I’ve spoken to, have said it’s been a difficult week. The change in temperature, the darker nights, the worsening weather… we need to be kinder to ourselves and allow ourselves to rest when we need it the most.

I certainly have this week. So onwards and upwards with a fresh head and let’s see what this week brings.

Gone are the days where I’d have opened a bottle of red on a Sunday and forgotten that I have to get up super early the next day. I’d have been DREADING work. I can’t stress that enough, I hated my job at the time… and that’s a strong word.

Now I just sit here with it all and allow myself to feel what I feel. There’s no dread AT ALL….. Fresh head on a Monday is always a blessing. I am so grateful for all of that.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
