Wide awake at 5am this morning. I read for a bit and then felt shattered when it was time to get up. I feel shattered now!
We had our AGM last night where I resigned from the Gateside Memorial Hall Committee. I did few bad but I know that itās right for me at this moment in time. I still have to transfer over financial signatory so that will still take a bit of time I guess.
There was a very bright moon last night. It was a real surprise when I went outside with the dogs after 10pm.
So I only got 6 hours and 23 minutes sleep last night. Looking forward to an early night tonight.
Itās been another good day at work with lots of progress in the workshop and a good vibe about the place. I feel pretty well caught up and ready to finish up for holiday at 4pm tomorrow. I donāt feel ready to go on holiday yet but Iām sure some time spent dedicated to packing and Iāll be there!!
Iām still filling my knee full of ibuprofen and paracetamol so I will have to take tonightās Kinisi-flow exercise class, easy. I know Iāll feel better once Iāve been there though.
Thereās also a possibility of Aurora over Scotland tonight. Itās very cloudy with us so maybe unlikely here but hopefully some folks get to see it!
So yeah, not much else from me today. I need to get dinner, collect some packing stuff together and get to Kinisi-flow for 6.30pm!
Good sleep despite having to get up at 2.30am to shut the window. The wind and rain were really loud overnight last night.
I was boyed up by my new found enthusiasm for life, but the weather was so dreich today and I found myself drained as the day went on. I felt bored by the mundane. To be fair today was stock check day which I sometimes love but today just felt like a chore as I have so many other things to do. Negative Nelly started talking me down again. By the time I came home I was raging that I couldnāt drink to numb my mind. Pissed off with myself for being strict with the fast so that I couldnāt gorge myself with chocolate to cheer me up.
Just BOREDā¦..
I know great things come from boredom but I have so many things I just canāt be bothered doing.
I came straight in and made dinner and didnāt stuff myself full of snacks afterwards, but hit the fasting button straight away at 5.22pm. That will be me until lunch tomorrow. She who needs a bikini body by the end of September, canāt afford to eat junk!!
So we sat down over dinner with an old faithful show, New Amsterdam, and my whole body relaxed because I couldnāt listen to the voice in my head bitching about things that annoyed me. I shut her up.
Then I went to the Kinisi Flow class in the village hall at 6.30pm. I was looking forward to it (Iām as surprised as anyone else!) and I really enjoyed it.
I no longer feel bored. I feel tired but content.
I want to live in this bubble of happiness and awe and wonder at life 24/7 but life is not like that. I need to work at letting things go. Not over dramatising them in my head to make them bigger. the more we talk about them and share the story, the bigger we make them to soothe our own ego.
Just let things be and let them go.
Iām so full of wisdom as I write thisā¦. š not so much at the time!
Anyhooā¦.. Iāve been meaning to talk about the virtues of Castor Oil for weeks now and keep forgetting.
Ellison introduced me to Dr Barbara OāNeill on TikTok but also Insta and how castor oil has a number of amazing propertiesā¦ not least of the reduction of inflammation, cysts and the like, in the body.
Anyway, a great end to the day. Iām standing in the garden, throwing balls for the doggos and leaning against a wall writing this. The seat is too wet because it poured with rain ALL day. That fine rain that soaks you. š
