Weekly Flylady Thread 7th February 2011

I had a good little weepy today when I put on my PURPLE REGATTA and realised that I do it every day and dont ever seem to see life like Diva did...recently my depression has turned to anxiety and it seems I live in fear of the act of dying...still,Im getting somewhere with the mental health team and so this week has brought lots of cause to reflect.

I did some of the list and spent loads of time on the phone to DVLA.We took delivery of a motability car in November as my hips are degenerating really quickly,I had planned to convert my SA license but by December we realised SA was not going to co operate with my documentation and so I applied for a provisional and am going to take the test here. I finally got out of them that they are posting my provisional today-so I can book my theory test soon hopefully.Its so frustrating knowing I have a car and cant drive it.

Hi Everyone

I have been reading thru all the lovely comments about Diva she would be overwhelmed ... I know she hasn't posted on this thread for quite some time now but whenever someone mentioned her or sent hugs I would pass the message on ... typical Diva response was "I'm surprised they still remember me"

I'm still pretty numb ... it's beginning to sink in that I won't get another text or a phone call with her singing down the line simply to cheer me up ... I know exactly what she would tell me tho ... "Get a grip ... life is for living .. make the most of what time you have left darling" ... she has said that to me so many times in the past

So that will be my tribute to her .. I will keep fighting & make her proud of me ....


Love & hugs to all ... hold your dearest close & don't be afraid to tell them you love them ... Diva & I never said goodbye with out saying "love you" ... I can be grateful for that.

Dw been unloaded and reloaded, DD's homework all up to date. Still has to get her project finished but there isn't much to write about snow.....

Finally got my glass in the doors fixed so i'm over the moon considering the weekend was awful managed to break my new bathroom mirror (fell off the wall and hit the bath), keyring and a pair of scissors.

Feeling awful achey now and my head is spliting have a feeling i'm coming down with the flu, i knew i wouldn't get peace this week.

Best get everyone fed and help DD with her project...

All Done! What a successful day finally, even managed to find a candle - it seemed very important being the last item on the list - never knew Diva, but am thinking of her plus my little angel, taken from me almost 5 years ago, but never forgotten.
Thank you everyone, here's hoping everyday from here on feels as good.
