Breathing out, I smile – Bringing ZEN to the life of a DFW

I am chilling too.

Nothing worse than traffic holdups on a warm day! except maybe ironing all day. Boat sounds exciting.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow and well done on acupuncture. Relaxation to look forward to.

It was piddling down in the north. Nice and sunny when we left but half way to our journey temperature fell by 6 degrees and it was pouring. It was just that I couldn't relax as I needed to keep BF awake on the way back.

So i must have had a better day it was sunny here but my back hurt with all the ironing!

I am supposed to be going to bed but am looking for ideas for xmas pressies that wont break the bank ie ebay.

Must sleep up at 5. Goodnight petal have a good day tomorrow.

I feel like I have fallen off the wagon. No, not the diet wagon, no not the alcohol consuption wagon either. The being positive and productive and posting inspiring things here and my blog wagon.

I was trying to find an image or smiley about falling off the wagon and came across this:



So ok, point taken.

As Miss O'Hara said: "After all..tomorrow is another day."

It is impossible to be happy all the time. Dont you worry. Love the picture and the message though!

Put your feet up and have a nice night. I am. loads of work to prepare but it can wait till tomorrow. I will wake up at 6 and do it. I was so tired I fell asleep and burnt the peas!

Kitchen Pongs of burnt things. Yuk!

SW: hope you got something proper to eat. :eek:

I met my new GP today. I am soooo happy. They are not insisting of seeing me every two months at the surgery. I can just drop the prescription to be renewed at my convenience. You have no idea how much that helps me. It has been such a struggle to be able to get appointment that doesn't overlap with work. Of course if the new migraine pills that she gave me won't work and I feel that I need something else I can go back. But my migraines are not as regular as they have been, at least I don't think they are.

I had a teleseminar again last night which means that I am completely pooped today. I even missed most of the first half due to technical problems (and me being an idiot and not hanging up and calling back in straight away) but I can listen that from the recording so I don't think I missed that much of important stuff. They are going to run different series of teleseminars and that subject is very interesting as well. However I am going to wait until that one is available for a bit more Europe friendly time of the day.

Work is good but busy. I am not used to be working with lots of interruptions and as I am training a new person she needs to keep asking help from me or she can't get on with her work. I hope it all settles down soon and I can concentrate on my stuff again.

Someone wonderful from these forums has promised to help me with a logo for my new little venture. I am soooo excited.

Ok, it was swimming night tonight hence being late putting DD to bed. Must go and round her up and then take myself either upstairs for a little quiet time or catchup on the Billy Connolly on Route 66 episodes that I have missed (while knitting). There are fantastic travel programs coming up on 1tv this autumn :j

This teleconferencing malarkey sounds jolly difficult. Well done on logo -some lovely people on this site.

Swimming is very healthy for both of you. Well done.

You have just convinced me to watch some tv.

Goodnight. An early one for me too.

Aesop - if you are reading, how do you always know when the free listing weekend is on? i think I missed the last one.

SW - hope you have found your vavavoom, look after yourself

Things are starting to fall into place. Lots still to do and sort out but at least the direction seems to be the right one. This autumn is so ridiculously busy that my first weekend when I have nothing planned for is the 19th and 20th of November :eek:. So good planning is crucial.

I didn't do that big meal plan thing that I meant to do. However after having done an emergency shop on Monday I am now doing a storecupboard challenge until next Wednesday. By then I really do need to have a plan in place with the shopping list.

Also I have booked birthday party for DD. The lovely Matrix ladies have come with loads of ideas for catering so I am feeling more confident about being able to get it all done despite having very little time before the party to do it.

My time audit so far is proving what I knew already. I am wasting my evenings away. But then I am so darn tired. Hopefully after next two weeks when I don't have that Monday night phone call things will settle and I can get more things done in the evenings. Also I do have time in the mornings to do some qigong (if I could get myself organised) and to get the SC loaded. At the moment the time goes by having a quiet cup of coffee in the conservatory and to nagging to DD.

I hope that as all the "cats" are out of the office tomorrow afternoon, i can "jump on the table" by delving into my studies. Really need a proper catch up session.

My finances have been put into the backburner but I don't think the situation is too bad. Oooh, just remembered that I haven't paid DD's school lunches nor after school clubs for this month. Must get that sorted asap. See - long way from being organised.

Marru - it will all come together. I spent the whole morning on the computer looking for jobs today and feel as though I have nothing to show for it but a rapidly filling evidence book for the jobcentre so they can see that I have been making an effort.

I found about the free listing on ebay this weekend because they sent me an email about it, I only got 9 things listed though but those things have watchers and some bids yet there are other items with no watchers and no bids:( I am trying to sell a leather laptop bag and some unused still sealed clarins products as I am overstocked.

While the cats away the mice will play - hope you manage to get some study done tomorrow.

Marru

Thanks Horace.

I am on a free webinar about cashflow in business. It is going to go on until 11 pm. I don't think I am going to last the distance...yawn...
