Oooh I’m a rat bag tonight. The last few days have finally caught up with me and I feel so tired after the day at work.
It’s wild outside too. A storm is passing through and it’s super windy and the rain came at me like the start of a Star Wars movie on the way home.
Of course I knew that coming back from Rome, early on the Tuesday and heading off to Iceland on the Friday was going to be tough. I didn’t pass up the chance for Rome though just because of that. It was too good a chance to miss and Iceland has been booked for a long time.
I also have a wreath making class at the Gateside Plant Centre tomorrow night so I’ve restricted my organising time even more. That said, I am really looking forward to that!! This is last year’s effort!!

I just feel so overwhelmed by mess and stuff. Trying to unpack for one and repack for the other. I’ve not done housework over the weekend either and I’d usually have the place all clean and tidy for our lovely dog sitter coming to stay…. Hey I can’t do it all.
Craig was super busy working over the weekend and this week too before we go. My standards need to lessen.
I’m sitting here writing this calming down as I realise how ridiculous it all is to be irritated by all this. Mess seems to mess with my mind.
I just can’t think straight as my head is all fuzzy. I don’t do my best thinking in the evening…. Except to write the blog of course.
I’m just tired.
Of course I was up at 5.30 for a run with Claire and Lynsey this morning. I’m sure I was awake long before 5 so maybe I’ll sleep better tonight.
We ran the usual 5.4kms and I ran my fastest ever kilometre.

It was a good run.
So yeah. I will tell the negative committee that sits in my head to shut the hell up.
I am so lucky to be able to go on two holidays in one week. This is my dream. Suck it up buttercup and get packing!
(I posted a couple of Rome videos on my Instagram, The Rambling Sloth and they also post over onto FB if you haven’t seen them already.).
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
