So this is my last lazy day !!!


Haven't decided about New Years Eve yet - I normally hate it. May do something completely different like go for a run!

Happy New Year Coco. :beer:

Did you go for a run?

I went round to a friends house with the usual suspects, we had a great night. Good food, good company, nice beer and a few of us took our guitars and had a bit of a jam and a sing song.

I'm afraid I need to brush up some of the AC/DC stuff but the Bon Jovi was alright. :cool:

The new girlfriend was impressed, she had no idea I could play the guitar.

Today we're off to the boat for a couple of days peace and quiet to recover. In fact, look at the time :eek:, I need to get showered and organised.

Back to work tomorrow .... Yuk!

Work, I remember that. I'm struggling to come to terms with how quickly time is passing. I took early retirement in April last year, it only seems like 5 minutes ago but it has been 9 months. :eek:

So ....... What's changed so far this year ? Not much !!!!

A lot needs to though. I feel like I limped through last year but didn't really get anywhere ? This year will be different

I finally went back to the doctors and went back on AD, I need it for now. Just took a while to admit it! I spend my evenings watching trash tv, moaning about how much I have to do .... Whilst not really doing any of it! My house is a mess, and, judging by the mirror this morning, so am I ! I am back to having the odd ciggie (roll my own of course :money:) and the odd glass of mid week wine ..... Not good. I am slim but unfit and appear to be hibernating from the world .... Also not good!

Plus side - I recognise all the above, I just need to do something about it now! I started with the doctors - I need to keep building from there :T

Bit of a deep post for a Sunday morning.... But when my sat night consisted of catching up on soaps, a 9 pm dash to Mr T to buy pizza, 3 glasses of wine and playing games on my phone .... Something kind of clicked this morning ! I don't like my life like this .... I need to change !

Don't beat yourself up. When in a particularly dark place, I was advised to review my story or progress as if it were someone else's. If you compare you now to you a year ago, you will see how much you have achieved - and that includes prompting people like me to start tackling their issues. Take care

Hugs honey, sounds like the new year blues have got you. Hope the AD help to make you see the positives x You have come a long way since you began this diary. Keep posting and we'll keep supporting you
