Day 1409 a lovely sunny Monday! ☀️☀️☀️

I’ve been so giddy today… giggly, excitable, saying the wrong words, tripping over stuff but mostly laughing…. I’m still on a dolphin high.

I slept well, though I had bad stomach cramp when I woke up.

The voice in my head started the anxiety spin…. it was so bad that I should phone in sick, I needed a day in bed. I made myself feel worse, creating drama around it… how would I manage the day when I felt like this, what if I cried… (like, no one would even be shocked by now but still that worried me 🤦🏻‍♀️😂)

I switched off the alarm, got out of bed and got on with my day and managed it just fine. I haven’t felt great. My head is thumping too but I’ve had a great day, despite how I’ve felt.

The snow moon was lovely this morning.

😂😂😂😂😂

It looked lovely, honest.

We’ve had a crazy day at Tartan HQ. It was super busy. Lots of people coming and going. No time to finish one thing before the next thing started… but it was all good.

I felt proud of the way I handled things that would have sent me into a tailspin normally. I felt happy and calm.

It has been an absolutely stunning day today. Pure blue sky and a huge ball of sunshine… and some warmth. We actually had the door to the portacabin open ALL afternoon. It was cold but it really felt like spring. It was lovely.

I’ve also had a couple of massive coincidences today which have made me smile. A chat with a couple about de-icer and they opened the door to their van and a 5l tub of de-icer fell out… we all laughed!

Looking for a particular spoon in the dishwasher in the dark… I put my hand in and lifted it straight out without even trying.

I love stuff like that. Makes me grin.

I stayed at work tonight to wash Bertie the Beetle for the first time. It looks like a new car!

It was a lovely sunset when I went to leave at 5.45.

So a good day. I have 3 sleeping pups at my feet with the 4th one hiding somewhere else and I will definitely be getting an early night. Story of my life eh?! 😂

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1221 I have had a great day at work, on a Friday!

Check me. A great day?!? At work?! On a Friday?!? Who’d a thunk it?!?

I didn’t get to bed until 12.15 pm after a lovely wee night at Gemma and Jonny’s wedding.

The Gailes Hotel in Irvine was a lovely venue and Gemma and Jonny were lucky enough to get married outside, during the day. It was the hottest day of the week by far, if not a bit cloudy.

The Tartan Camper Crew rocked up at 7pm.

We sat outside for a good bit of the evening. It was really warm. It was good for us all to get a chat outside work.

Suddenly certain that this photo wasn’t my best angle 😂😂😂

So a late night and I had decided to work today as I’d left in such a mess yesterday.

It was absolutely the right decision!!

I have had the best day. Despite the very late night, for me, I was incredibly clear and focussed on what needed doing. I picked up exactly where I’d left off yesterday. It felt super productive, I was buzzing and really enjoyed what I was doing. I have sorted everything that felt out of control. I’ve still loads to do and I’m sure there’s lots I have forgotten but I felt like I ticked enough boxes before I take a day off on Monday, instead.

I’m so glad I went in.

So yeah a very good day. Abbie the Campervan is home. Craig and I will have beans on toast for dinner but hey, she is sale worthy now!

It was so hot when I got home I sat out for a bit but suddenly clouded over so I’m inside, feet up contemplating dinner. It would appear the puppers are also expecting their dinner as they are pestering me 😂

Hope you all have the best weekend!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1190 a brighter day today… still under a FB ban 🫣

Another blog that hardly anyone will read but hey… as I said, if you find it here then thank you 😘

I’m still barred from FB until about 10pm and then hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to plead my case and get them to take me off this horrible list I seem to be on. I just want to go back to my account, unhacked and WAY more wary of the vulnerability of it all.

If that’s not possible then I will consider leaving FB altogether and I’ll find another way of publishing my blog and photos.

So yeah, I feel different today. I feel like I’ve accepted the reasons for everything that’s being going on. I woke up this morning, opened my eyes and knew instantly that something was different. I’ve felt really hard done to in the last week or so. I’ve felt like everything seemed a bit hopeless. I’ve seen the negative in everything.

I can’t tell you how good it is to feel a wee bit better. Life doesn’t feel hopeless today.

I don’t know why I feel better. There’s obviously always things that happen to me that I can’t write in the blog. Things that affect me but are not my story to tell. The blog feels like a real chore on those days.

I’ve been so irritated by everything this last wee while and today I see the positive in everything, the reasoning behind everything, rather than the anger. It really makes such a difference. However the switch got flicked I’m not complaining. It’s so draining when you feel mentally rotten.

It poured with rain overnight last night. Absolutely stotting down when we went to bed. it was the same again this morning.

Mid afternoon the sun came out and it’s been lovely and warm. Long may that continue.

I’ll leave you with some Just Jules sunset photos again…. Because they make me smile!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
