If you need to go to bed then go, maybe set an alarm for three hours time so you sleep tonight?2

If I think about it too much I start to freak out.
Instead I shall do house stuff. I had a shower and feel a bit better. Am sat watching Inside out before I make a plan re house. I definitely need a place to work urgently. and so much recycling.........hmm.Nevertheless she persisted.1 -

Confession - I love Hercule Poirot. LOVE him. And Sherlock Holmes.
I feel a bit better and have been pottering. Planning............thinking.
Rough Goals for 2021
1. BUY A HOUSE. And I do mean house. not a flat. Dream BIG.
- save a minimum of 700 pounds each month towards this
- plus sell a few bits/ try to make some money - mainly to teach me the value of money again!!
- might tutor too if I can.
2. Be happy and appreciate good things
- Write about them in my journal, make a point of eating nice food and seeing nice people as often as possible.
3. Continue to declutter and organise my stuff and the garden
- I don't think I have much left, it is all more the organising now although I am sure I will find more stuff to go.
4. Have a relationship with a man. I would really like some fun
5. Travel - if we are ever allowed!Nevertheless she persisted.4 -
I love it when you come up with plans 😁 It’s that time of year for a fresh start, new goals. Hopefully 2021 will be the start of us all emerging from the fog of COVID and start living again. I really hope you meet a nice bloke and have some fun. A work colleague of mine had quite a bit of success with dating apps last year, she was spoiled for choice and treated very well, she’s a lot older than you too. Fingers crossed 🤞I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

I share some of your goals... Am starting to think that I would like to start seeing someone as well - the problem being that I'm way too introverted and lacking in self esteem to ever go there.
However, I will be back on the dieting and budgeting bandwagon again. As I always am.Not giving up

Time to take back control

I read my WHOLE diary last night for this past year. My goodness me. When you are in it you really don't see it at all. Like not AT ALL.
You guys keep saying Buffy take care of yourself, Buffy do something for you. Buffy be kind to yourself and I just think you are being nice to me cos you are (miraculously) my friends. ALL I do is write about how tired I am (repeatedly) how rotten I feel and how ill Mum is. Or what I am doing for my sister etc. and I spend an amazing amount of cleaning out my pets (which is good in one way but do I have to write about it!?) and writing about the weather - I don't know if you noticed but I really don't like the hot weather!!!!! I know we have had covid and so doing other stuff is sort of out but surely this can't be my life???
Apparently it is.
I don't know how you have all stuck with me!
I am laughing as I write this by the way, I just can't get the smileys to work!!
