Apple muncher's number crunching

Ouch ouch ouch 🤕! I felt that! 
Apparently a teaspoon of extra v. Olive oil 🫒 🫒  in the morning is good for joint mobility, if you don't fancy oil of  🐟's liver. 
Hooray for not being swept away by the deluges.

Pottering on here. Pip is worn out from the week. No surprise there. It is just so good to be available for them, and not be trying to constantly plan ahead and juggle a gazillion balls simultaneously. They are now just 3 weeks away from half term 🤣.

My running buddy for the 10k has had to pull out as she has sinus and throat infections. And dh announced that he is on PA on Sunday, but hadn't put it on the communal calendar. Grrr. He knew I have this run... The issue is What to do with Pip? I think my decision is to go and run my own 10k tomorrow morning, then it is done and dusted. No hours to spend travelling and then waiting around and being all on my lonesome/ownsome (?)

Just being able to be there for them takes a huge stress off you, and bizarrely off them, as they know where you are(ish).   One day they will realise what you have done,  because you love them.

Have you had any snippy comments yet? Now you are no longer 'a professional' ?

I have completed my own 10k run 🎉🎉🎉. I'm feeling quite smug now. And I did it all before it was time to wake up Pip. And I didn't fall over!

Now I just need to keep moving around so as not to seize up 🤣

Well done to you 🤩🎈

Hot bath, a precautionary Ibuprofen and don't sit down ! 
Well done you!  I have had a very productive morning scrumping in the community orchard.  Stuffed apples on the menu for the next forever (no offense intended)

Got some good charity shop finds while pip danced. The Sally army ones were free, as I had credit for taking stuff there. ( a black jacket for pip next year when they're in sixth form, a thin leather bracelet for pip which has 3 wicked spikes on it, a small needlefelting kit and an exercise top) And from St C, I got 2 single fitted sheets and a flannelette single duvet cover for pip for £5.50. Add to that the 6 towels I got for £4 in the week and I'm a happy apple 😎.

Apparently the heating kicked in this morning for about 15 mins. A friend suggested heated gilets for DH and pip. Just need to read up on them a bit first.

Currently watching the recorded Argentina v Samoa match. Samoa had a player sent off after 35 secs. That must be a record! Another Samoa player has a bleached blonde mullet, which you can't miss !

I have started seizing up 🤣. I was doing fine until I'd sat in the car for 20 mins eating lunch. Once we got back home, it took me a while to get out 🤣🤣.

I was always fine going upstairs after a run, but coming downstairs made me say very very bad words.

Well done on your 10k - your gym focus is v motivating - hopefully tomorrow you can walk again

Finally caught up on your diary - so sorry to hear about your mum.
Good to see you being MF means you have choices to look after pip and leave that annoying Head
