The olive in my salad at lunch, completely explained my day.

A wee sad olive. 🥺🫒

It’s been a really tough day today.

I was up at 5.15 for a run with Claire and Lynsey.

I was a rough run for me today. My knee was sore for the first time in ages.

I’ve been wearing boots that I haven’t worn for years. They were the ones that I rescued for the Vinted sale bag.

It seems they were in the bag for sale for a reason. I have 3 pairs of these boots and every time I wear a pair, I end up with the pain.

Lesson finally learned. Except for the dark maroon ones… I’m keeping them 😆

So I digress, sore knee this morning but I also felt really down.

I ended up in tears as we ran.

I wanted to stop.

wanted to turn around.

The girls kept me going.

We ended up doing 5.41kms in a really good time considering I walked a few times.

I felt really sad when I got back home. I sat and had a good cry before I went in for a shower.

I was “this close” to calling in sick today.

There is one day a month where I really should have a duvet day. Today was that day.

I hummed and hawed for the whole shower but figured out I’d be more stressed having to try and make up the 7.5 hours, than I would be if I just got my shit together and went to work.

And so I went to work.

I felt a lot better then I got there and got on with the day but I had a wobble for a few hours this morning. I couldn’t look at anyone.

I just wanted to cry so bad. My head was having a complete hissy fit at everything that happened this morning.

I read a FB post at lunch that said “turn that frown upside down”….. and then I saw the sad olive in my salad.

It made me laugh so hard!

It actually made my day.

I couldn’t eat it.

Yes I am THAT crazy.

Moving on swiftly…

I also had a follow up HRT call with the doctor this afternoon.

It went really well.

We have decided that I should up the dose slightly to see how that goes.

I also told her I’ve found a wee lump so I have an appointment on Friday to get that checked. I am full of cysts so I’m not panicked by this so please don’t worry. I always get them checked out.

I was sooooooo grateful when it came to 4pm and I’d made it through the day.

I know I’m dramatic but that was a tough one.

I’m sure it’s just hormones and it will pass. I take it I’ll our because I’ve had such a good January so far.

I always do say I would share as much as I could.. warts and all.

Off to crochet in half and hour. I hope they’re ready for me. 🤦🏻‍♀️😆😘

Oh and if you look out to the south east direction you will see Venus shining brightly with Saturn, less bright off to the south. (At time of typing…. The planets will move 😆)

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
