20/20 Vision (repaying a debt to my home and myself)
Comments

I woke up with a migraine today.
Not nice, but not unexpected after my irregular eating yesterday. It isn’t fully blown and after a morning of naps, darkness and slow movement it is going away.
I made soup, pot roasted turkey and quinoa so the fridge is looking brighter. I have veggies arriving on Friday.
I had a delivery of clothes. This company sizes strangely so I had to buy 2 sizes of trousers. I now have some great trousers and a shirtdress. Both were terrific bargains. The dress reduced from £140 to £40 and the trousers from £115 to £55. I am sending back a skirt and some trousers. These clothes are great quality and I will be wearing them for a long time so I am pleased.
I’m feeling tired so I do not plan to achieve very much today. I will stay home, have a NSD and clean up my surroundings.
I hope you are all having a good dayIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

There was a time when I couldn’t pay a fine and now I can
Homemade soup ready to eat when I got in after beautiful but tiny food at lunchtime
A bright Winter’s day

INOD that sounds like a really !!!! day... hope tomorrows better for you. XI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy0 -
