Weekly Flylady Thread 29th October 2018

YORKSHIRELASS

JoJo I have a mug that belonged to my FIL. Its just a mug, nothing special about it, except he really liked it. MIL was throwing it out but I have a strong memory of sitting with him at their kitchen table drinking tea one morning not long before he died. The mug sits at the back of the kitchen cupboard, no-one is allowed to use it but occasionally I catch a glimpse of it and it makes me smile because it was his. Silly really.

All good here, tired - work still busy, and I miss DS, but I am happy for him. Have been squeezing in a bit of flying when I can so the house is not too bad.

Hi all x
I'm in as much as I can be.
Thanks to Valli and Natty for the threads xxxx

I spent the weekend in bed with the black dog. Came in from work yesterday, took one look at this place and went to bed.
Feeling slightly better today so I've washed all of the dishes and I mean all of them as I hadn't washed up since Thursday :eek:
Load of washing done and the rubbish put out.
Received my key to my pram shed today, I've only been in this house a year and that's the council just sorted it out. So my weekend task is to get the stuff that's in the spare room wrapped up and put in there.

Off to get a cuppa and a fag then I'm off to bed.

Narc0lepsy

Throwing sticks for all the black dogs.
Went to zumba.
Gave one lesson at uni.
Had PT session with shoulder lady.
Got the duvet in M@t@l@n which had evaded me yesterday.
Pored over carpet samples. Rejected all and went back to our original choice (no sample but had photo'd it on my tablet). Went into town with Mr N to have a final check, taking usual bag of measure, tablet, wallpaper sample and notes. Lady in shop liked the carpet/wallpaper combination so we have ordered it. Collected a couple of paint testers.
Did a bit more of a report.
Ordered some dance show tickets for Mum and I at Christmas for her present.
Sent a few emails that needed doing.

No uni for the rest of the week, so intend to be very organised and productive.......

Morning xx

Gave up trying to sleep and got up at 4.45. I was at work yesterday morning when I received a text from my brother telling me that my mum had died. Everything has been rather strange since then.

Yesterday was endless and I was good for nothing for ages - except watching clouds scud by from North to South. I like clouds. Then I spent several hours with Dad, (I was able to be the strong one for him), came home and watched more clouds.

I expect today will be similarly endless but I'm hoping to focus

I think the best thing I can do today is fly a little - micro-dot to micro-dot - and be kind to myself.

There is no right way or wrong way - and maybe my way is flying, but it's a bit early yet so I'm going to have another brew - and raise my mug to all you lovely flyladies and to Mum.

Big (((hugs))) roundtuit, I'm so sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourself. I'm joining you in raising a cuppa to your Mum xxx

DH's CPAP machine woke me at 5.15. I have replied to a friend's email; caught up with the news website; and put a block under my monitor to raise it, in the hope that keeping my head up more will help my neck pain, which is not getting better.

I am due to visit someone from church at 10.30 for about an hour. Apart from that and taking Rosie for her walk, today I shall either be getting on with the Remembrance display or catching up with lost sleep. Flying will be minimal.

Hope everyone has the best day possible - sticks a-plenty here for throwing at BDs xxx

Valli

Bright and sunny here but clearly cold as the cars are iced over.
Kitchen needs tidying, DS cooked tea. Made him use the processor to grate the carrots �� so that was quicker.
Spent a lot of the evening mouse evicting. Waste of time and was recaught apparently. So dead mouse to remove.
DW on, WM x 3

(((Hugs))) Round to It. It's a very strange, unnerving part of anyone's life, where everything seemed to be cold and distant from memory. Just let yourself be carried along while you absorb the shock. And I too will be raising a mug today to mums everywhere, past and present.

Anyone else read that as cr*p, or was that just me?

Up early for me, doddering around shuffling laundry which it turns out I didn't need to get in at 11.00pm last night because it didnt' rain after all. *sigh*

And I've discovered I've got significantly less stock than I thought. Whhhhooooooops.

Hugs RTI, go ease on yourself and family

Daily stuff done and that is it for now off to work

Valli

Hugs and sympathy and flylady support for you RTI. There is no right or wrong way, as you say, there are no rules. Even now, almost two years after losing my sister (and best friend) having watched her battle through cancer, there are still days when I just sit; I know work keeps me sane; a day like Monday (where I got lots done) is still an exceptional day for me. The love is always there x

pigpen

hugs for Round... whatever the relationship there is always that special bond with your mum. xx much love.
