09/03/2024 – The Rambling Sloth 🦥

I am so tired. It’s 5.15pm and I could actually just go to bed now.

I slept like a log last night, first time in a good few nights and it felt great.

It’s also been a really good day.

I was in the little gift shop again and it was really busy! Lots of people buying for Mother’s Day, which is tomorrow in the UK.

Gayle has a new stock control system which I’m obsessed with!! You can track sales per item type…. I love it. Means you have to put card sales through as a card sale etc so a bit more concentration required at check out… but I loved the reports section. 😂😂

Gayle gave me a lovely card.

It made me a wee bit tearful!!

We spent a long time trying for kids. Nothing wrong with either of us… just one of those things and with hindsight I knew deep down that I never would have kids. I made peace with that a LONG time ago but sometimes I get a trigger that reminds me of how it all felt at the time. I was working in a very stressful environment… walking out of meetings at 12pm to inject my stomach and then returning to whatever stress I’d just left… it’s hardly any wonder it didn’t work!

Anyway, so lovely of Gayle and she also gave me a reed diffuser which is currently filling our hallway with vanilla and coconut, it’s lovely.

Claire came to visit after work and we had a good catch up…been too long!

Khaleesi cooried right in to her Auntie Claire!

It’s lovely to see how relaxed she was with her. Khaleesi that is… not Claire 😂😂

As soon as Claire left I got right into the housework… before I sat down! Hoovered everywhere. Shook out all the blankets and tried to remove as much dog hair as I could. Did a washing and hung it up.

I felt really tired and shaky once I finished hoovering so had some food and sat down… felt much better.
