I’m back. I feel so much better today. Phew. It’s such a relief.

I’d go as far as to say I felt no anger or irritability today. Well…. not too much. 🤷🏻‍♀️😌 There’s always a little 😬 but nothing like yesterday.

I drove to work in atrocious weather conditions this morning. The rain was so heavy that I actually couldn’t see the road. I had to switch off the stereo so I could concentrate. How crazy does that sound?!

There was an accident on the A736 at the Barmill/Burnhouse crossroads. A white van and a Mill’s Milk Luton van had hit each other. Mill’s Milk coming off WAY worse.

The Police had turned their car to shine their headlights up my lane. With the amount of water on the road, you couldn’t see anything with the bright shine of the headlights on water. I had to approach at about 10 miles an hour. I suppose that’s the plan… 🤷🏻‍♀️

When I drive past something like that, I always have a huge gulp of emotion ride up that brings tears… didn’t help to have water in my eyes when I already couldn’t see the road! I hope no one was hurt.

I forgot to say yesterday that I have finally started Collagen and Tumeric supplements in the hope that might help my joint stiffness.

My friend Helen did a lot of research into Collagen so I just copied her rather than doing my own. This shakes into a drink. The mandarin flavour is lovely. The tumeric is just a capsule. I’m also taking Magnesium and have been for a few months now. Surely some of it will help?!

Forgot I took this photo earlier. Here are all the Tartan Campers parked up for the winter…. I put a sign on each of them saying that so no one drives one.

We were on Channel 4 at lunchtime today… hopefully that’s some great advertising.

I’m jumping around all over the place today….

When I got home, Craig had a lady in the living room!!!! 😳

She was from the Office for National Statistics and she asked us lots of questions about our working lives. We’ve had a few letters from them and I replied last week but she just turned up on spec. It took about an hour between us to answer all the questions. I quite like stuff like that. Not sure why?!

Anyhoo…. It’s been good to feel calm and in control today. The National Statistics lady asked how happy I was with my life and I was able to answer 9/10. 😌

I think that’s pretty damn good for anyone to be able to say. 💜

I’ve found some peace and realise that happiness is what you make it. Happiness isn’t living for the next holiday. It’s in the sunshine and the heavy rain, in the wind and in the leaves falling from the trees. It’s in every day.

Happiness is knowing that the bad days will pass. When you lower your expectations in life then you have a greater chance of happiness.

I’m tracking the Aurora again and toying with the idea of heading out later. Will see….

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
