I love this… a lovely lady who follows Coffee and Quotes FB page sent me this today, after I’d said I’d had a few hours sleep…
I landed in Edinburgh just before midnight and there were 3 flights in at once, all trying to get through passport control. To be fair to them, they moved us through pretty quickly.
The flight was FREEZING! I didn’t sleep as I was so cold.i ended up unpacking my scarf and wrapping it around my head and shoulders… it didn’t make me warm but it took off some of the chill. So no sleep for me!
By the time I got through passport control, I felt really good. It was about 12.30am and I had been up since 6am, but I was so glad to be almost home.
I still had the drive to Ayrshire!
Check the sat nav…
That’s fun seeing at that 12.30am when you’re on your own 🫣 but still it didn’t phase me.
Funnily enough there were diversions for all of the road closures and while I did feel a bit nervous on some parts of the drive, I felt awake and I made it home by 1.45am…. Craig had put the electric blanket on for me…. Soooo good to be back.
I woke at 7am and tried so hard to snooze for hours, but never really got back to sleep.
So I decided to give up the rest of my day off and go into work.
I’m so glad I did it. I made it in by 11am.
I’d have ended up staying home and doing housework and that would have made me sad. Freya is moulting just now so we’re back to a house covered in dog hair…
Instead I have worked this afternoon and can take time off for a funeral we have on Thursday.
It’s 6pm and I still feel good. I know I am tired and it will hit me soon, but I took control of my day and did what felt right to me.
This time yesterday I was still in Milan city centre.
I had the best time away as lovely as it was to get back to my cosy bed.
Milan Bergamo is a great airport with access to so many places. I kept seeing road signs for Venice and was sooooo desperate to go there.
We managed to fit so much in to our weekend. I really enjoyed it. I have so many more videos to share over the next week while on my Instagram and Facebook.
I would highly recommend a trip to Verona. I think that was he highlight although Lake Garda came very close.
I had no anxiety once the plane was up in the air on Friday morning. I felt a lovely sense of calm come over me.
I’m listening to the Happy Place podcast and Fearne is interviewing Perrie Edward’s from the band Little Mix. Her therapist says “the things that we want the most… are on the other side of fear”. I completely agree with that. I got so panicked about going away and yet have had the best time.
Now I’m tired…. I’ll end today by sharing a few pics and then I need to de-dog hair the bed so I can get in early and read a book!
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
