    Better Than Before
  • Yes he had such a good time he wants to move there :( but hopfully arranging that would take so long that he will change his mind ;). It's so lovely to have him home, my mind is at peace at last :D

    I hope you are ok Pauline?

    Glad the shower is finally fixed. I bet it seems like a real luxury at the moment. Also glad DS is on his way home safely.

    All our snow has been cleared away by the rain and much milder weather.
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • Thanks SA the shower does feel like a luxury and DS2 was keen to use it when he got home :).

    I managed seven hours sleep last night, after two nights of five hours :T.

    Today I want to focus on:

    Work
    Surveys
    Washing DS2's dirty laundry
    Ordering some presents for the DC
    Recovering from stress
    Healthy eating

    Have a good Thursday everyone :).

    “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”
  • I didn't manage to complete any of my goals today but I made a little progress.

    Work - A LITTLE
    Surveys - NONE
    Washing DS2's dirty laundry - ONE WASH DONE
    Ordering some presents for the DC - ORDERED SOME
    Recovering from stress - PARTIALLY
    Healthy eating - NOT REALLY

    DH and I felt less tired but still not firing on all cylinders. Hopefully tomorrow after another nights sleep we'll be back to normal :o.

    We had to help DS2 sort out the rented flat he hasn't been living in (long story) as he wants to end his tenancy, so that took a bit of time.

    Anyway tomorrow is another day luckily and I am still over the moon to have DS2 home :j.

    Have a good evening everyone :)
