Midlife Musings and Measurable Goals

You're similar to myself in ways ,and are realistic in the good and bad times we have to go through DIA . Having said that , you'll probably find your home while doing your routines that you are doing now . God works in mysterious ways etc.
Dealing with Royal Mail is red tape , followed by red tape ...and then some more .
Hope the hospital visit is ok 
Regarding acupuncture : I probably mentioned  it in my first diary . That again 😸
It was fantastic for me , but my advice is to do a block booking of 6 . You will know by then if it's for you . 

As for the dentist , imho the scariest things are the prices . Oh, I would google the best dentist in your area so you'd get an idea of feedback and that should hopefully get you a good one that puts your mind at ease . I found mine that way , and got lucky and not too down in the mouth . 

I'll leave it there ...⛅️

Thanks @Deleted_User

Thanks @another_casualty You made me lol when you said the scariest thing about the dentist is the prices! So true. Haha.

Yesterday I ate the RM frog and drafted a response

I went to the hospital and my relative was happy to see me. I took the little one for a hospital visit too after picking her up from nursery so it was a long day with lots of walking. I made her a packed lunch but she was not impressed and asked for chips. Fair enough.

Today is a hospital visit later on.

I enabled S1r1 today and asked her to call my sister whilst my mobile was in my bag. Very exciting!

My sister gave me some beautiful new shoes (DMs) that she didn't like, but I love.

I aim to do some work today (FROG) I keep not doing this.

I will also at least research a dentist in the area. I was going to go back to my old dentist but AC is right it makes more sense to find one in the area as I'm more likely to actually go! (FROG)

I have lots of lovely veggies and some cold chicken and some soup too so lots of healthy eats so no need to cook anything today

Wishing you all a good end to the working week.

I've stuck with my old dentist, would rather stick with who I know, even if I only go every year or so.

Well done organising the frogs and eating some.

Well done on all the frogs

Echoing the others with congrats on tackling the 🐸s!

I'm looking forward to seeing Nomadland at the cinema as I've heard it's one of those films that should be watched on the big screen owing to the beautiful landscape vistas. I did watch The Dig recently on Netflix and really enjoyed that - lovely gentle film.

Thanks everyone for the frog congrats. I didn't actually eat them all sorry to say but at least I put them out there to jump about

@Seasidegal58 I enjoyed The Dig too and yes do see Nomadland in the cinema as the landscape is huge and sweeping.

The dig was a great film - we really enjoyed it.
Well done for keeping on - some days it's a real achievement to get to the end.  Marshalling frogs is hard so congrats for that

So, where am I? 

The not so good...

Well I haven't been to the dentists or done any meaningful work so those frogs are still jumping all over the place. 

My weight is climbing.

My relative (and family) are taking up all my emotional and physical energy.

So what have I done positively?

I got to breaking point and took yesterday and today off from everything. 

I got my bike back (I will have to store it as the flat is up very narrow, spiral stairs.) The bike shop overcharged me by about £40 but I was just glad to get the bike back so I let it go, especially as the person who damaged the bike more than covered the repair.

I haven't gone overdrawn or used my cc.

I got the dodgy boiler serviced

I'm still looking for a new home but there is very little out there. I'm feeling unsettled and stressed but given all that is going on I am (just about) doing ok...I hope you are too.
