That's the thing about having virtual conversation.  Things can be misread . Glad you're fine 
Enjoy the weekend everyone 🌞

Thanks @Sarahwithlove you are absolutely right. I am making sure today is better than yesterday
Thanks @beanielou
Thanks @savingholmes the veg box was okish/usable but a bit stale again, so one more to try out...
Thanks @another_casualty it is easy to be misunderstood on here but I am thankful that people care enough to reach out when they see someone having a bad day.

I felt edgy and a bit miserable yesterday. I couldn’t sleep until 2am as my brain kept churning things over. Today is a new day so I thought the best thing to do was to get active as soon as the day began…I was up and going before 7am 

Household

Washing done and out drying

Food shop

Early morning cycle

Dishes X4!

Food 

Stock

Lentil and veggie soup

Chicken and vegetable grill tray

Salad made

Fresh fruit salad and seeds prepped

I tried to eat a frog but the company was closed. Still feel pleased I tried. Will try again during the week.

I have a much smaller budget this month so that may be making me a bit edgy. My mantra is: ‘Everything that needs paying has been paid and you will be fine.’

The rest of the day I will be having a catchup with a friend, gardening, reading and later a bit of TV.

Wishing you all a good day.

sounds like a good day both in what you have achieved and what you have planned

Sorry to hear about your 'mehness' DIA. It has been a bit of virus in itself during the last week among forumites, including me. 
You  sound a lot more positive today and I can only echo @mark88man's post.

Hope you're feeling a bit better today DIA.  (((hugs)))

Don't think the weather is helping much at the moment, it's gray and miserable up here in the North East, but supposed to improve later in the week... I'm hoping my mood improves with it! LOL

Thanks @mark88man
Thanks @Seasidegal58 Sorry to hear you have had an attack of the mehness too. 
Thanks @Chrystal

Although I usually benefit from do nothing days, I am keeping busy instead to keep my mental health buoyant.
So, today I have already been gardening for an hour. I've stopped for an indoor hour of tea and being on here plus ironing. Then back out for gardening and then back in for dishes and cleaning the bathroom. Going to try the indoors/outdoors thing up until lunchtime. It is cloudy so hoping rain doesn't spoil this plan.

I say I will read every day but never do. Giving it another give this another go again this afternoon.

Have a good day everyone

if reading is not quite what you fancy - try music - especially compilations on a theme you like but from someone else's playlist - that way you don't have to choose (except maybe to skip a selection you don't fancy).  most of the major platforms like spotify both have "radio stations" or their playlists and do a web browser/phone version for free which is usable although has adverts

Audio books are also a good solution if you haven't got the energy to read.  You can borrow them for free from the library if you have online access.
