Midlife Musings and Measurable Goals

Hope you resolve your TP dilemmas. KP or newspaper could block your sewage pipe - you don't want that in lockdown. Best of luck! We will run out this week if Mr A don't deliver some. We do have tissues though and KP

Hi DIA - just caught up - glad you had a good time in Scotland. 

Re. Toilet roll - hope it never gets to the point using squares of newspaper like years ago!🤭

Stay safe DIA and take care.

Thanks SSG. I had a great time.

Day two of coming off caffeine. Also have a bit of a cold, so all in all I could feel better.

Dug out some nice smoky green tea. Better than black ordinary tea as I miss milk (should come in the delivery tomorrow) in that.

Online shop closed between 1-6am for maintenance so that scuppered that plan. So, in the queue with an estimated 2 hour wait. Hey ho.

Today the bike gets fixed and the little room gets its walls stripped. I return a parcel to the PO and get a letter posted with proof of posting. Yesterday I managed a few 20 minute sessions working on the garden. Today my target is three 20 minute sessions. If those things all get achieved I'll be very satisfied.

Funny thing is some money was refunded for theatre tickets so they will cover bike costs and I won't need to use my CC after all. This DF journey has made me cautious about borrowing from future self.

The last of the turkey will be eaten today in another flipping curry. 

Stay safe and well everyone.

Regarding 🧻 I'm sure some of you remember isil? 

Or is it Izil? That was basically school tracing paper. I'm glad I've grown up now . Well, I think I have 😼

It is beginning to sink in that this is going to be for the long haul so I am going to start a daily plan.  I'm not sure what it will include but I think an hour exercise a day has to be included. I also want to include a reading hour. Five hours of work. I am going to include a daily phone call so I connect with someone else everyday. I am starting to realise my days will need to be quite structured to prevent my mood slipping...

Oh and I am an hour away in the virtual queue with 21,000 behind me. And I thought the queue outside Ald1 was bad

Will kitchen roll flush ok? 

NO NO NO! they blocK the sewer. There was a photo on social media already from a council showing blocked sewers. Use the shower. or if you have to use kitchen roll put it in the bin (like in Greece)

I fear my diary has turned into the toilet paper diary. Can we leave it there please?

I think it's something we'll all have to get our heads around DIA, but it seems difficult to accept that this is reality!  I feel as though I'm taking part in a film!
Your plan sounds like a good one.  Take care of yourself. XX

Thanks, you are right Chrystal. It is totally surreal and I haven't yet got my head around it

DIA not only haven't I got my head around it... I don't even know where my head is!! 
I had an Iceylandy delivery this morning and it's left me totally paranoid about contamination eek!  Think I'll probably be ready for the funny farm soon.
