Knee pain – 1 progesterone – 0

Dog being brought into the room and onto clean bed – ORBIT!!

What a dreadful night. Honestly I tossed and turned like a tossy turney thing… ALL night.

I just couldn’t get comfy at all. As soon as I did I had to move again. I hadn’t taken painkillers as my knee had been ok…. Had to take them in the middle of the night.

Knee pain – 1 painkillers – 0

Criag had a takeaway so I had some chicken pakora about 8pm so maybe it was late food… even though I didn’t eat much.

I’ve felt like a half shut knife all day.

I am really struggling doing nothing.

Determined to get out of the house today, I started weeding the garden first thing as it was actually calm and there was no rain. it’s lovely to be outside in nature. It’s so calm, feels like everyone is still in bed.

I wasn’t properly dressed for weeding though… so I headed up to Braehead to exchange some faulty black smart jeggings I had bought for Christmas… the waist band came away on Boxing Day! The stitching all came undone.

It was lovely to drive up to Braehead.

The river we pass had flooded its banks. It’s not affecting any housing so it looks pretty. It fascinates me. Wish I could have got some photos.

The roads and Braehead are pretty quiet thankfully. I get parked near the door to M&S… in, exchange and a quick wander round Primark before heading back out. My knee is sore after the walking.

I don’t feel like looking anywhere else. I used to love the sales but I know I don’t need anything.

This week has been like being off sick.

I never do this little.

I’m racking my brain for things to do and can’t think of anything. Bet when I sit back at my desk next week I will think of lots of things I could have done!! (Predictive text had me racking my Brian 😆)

Back home, watched a movie, had a shower, tidied the house because drum roll….. we are having visitors tonight!!! People are coming to our house and we are serving actual food. Can’t think the last time we ever did that. I’m proud of us for inviting them. 😁 It’s Claire and Graeme from next door so we’re looking forward to a good chat and some good company.

I’m still doing really well on the fasting. I’m currently sitting at nearly 21 hours. I find it easy on days off to have one meal. I can’t do that when I’m at work though. When 12.30pm comes, I’m conditioned to feel ravenous! Not so on holidays!

I also have a wee day out with Gayle tomorrow which I’m looking forward to… if I could only think where we could go!

My big plan was to head to the Oban Chocolate Shop for Hot Chocolate and Waffles…. That was when the forecast was beautiful and we’d have a sunny Oban. It’s also 2.5 hours drive there and back so I didn’t even run it past Gayle. It just shows where my head is at.

These last few days have blown away like dead leaves. I want to appreciate every moment and make every day count and make peace with what I choose to do.

I’m rested. Now it’s time to move!!

Stay safe everyone 🎄🎅🏼🤶🏼
