A whole new world, for now

I agree with Seasidegal - be kinder to yourself.

Thanks peeps.  The worrying thing is that I know the best way to be kind to me is to knock sugar on the head which in turn gives me so much more energy but that’s the one thing I currently seem incapable of doing. I was home all day Sunday and got some bits and pieces done around the house. I also cleaned out my business account transferring money mostly to premium Bonds while we figure out our priorities and plans.  I also gave the offspring money to kick start an emergency fund though ds may need to use his to bridge the shortfall with furlough payments being less than normal income.  DD kindly suggested that I give her allocation to her brother to help with his income reduction.  I have said that that’s between the two of them.  

Yesterday my ibs flared up and is still causing pain.  I started the medication yesterday but don’t take it when away from home so it generally takes a few days to get resolved.  

Right need to get a move on as the plumber to attended the client emergency is coming today to get the other jobs done.

today I am grateful for

Life sounds busy again for you. Well done on the gardening donation and the gym equipment. It’s good to know there are some good folk out there. 

How are your blood sugars these days - you did really well getting them under control a while back.

Glad furry friend is improving. Hope your health does too.

Thank you all.  Last night a decidedly impish dog met me when I returned home.  Her spirits are definitely improving.  Yesterday I had a video conference with a Dublin named client so have a wee bit of work lined up for later in the year.  On a downside though, my main client’s insurance won’t cover use of gym equipment.  The plus is that the plumber turned up when he should and we have matters addressed such as faulty toilets.

DH got paid yesterday so along with the balance from my annual earnings, the emergency fund can be restored.
im taxiing the chef today so need to get going.

Lovely to hear the dog is doing well! And that you have some other work lined up. And hurrah for the plumber! (Though a shame about the gym equipment, I wonder exactly what counts as equipment?)
