Hmm 4 weeks till half time, so got to get through this week - am breaking it down into bits to get through it!
- Tomorrow teach first remote lesson from home (will help dog and me survive the day). Get home at 7 and then cook some risotto!
- Tuesday cover work - short day, no prep required. And a swim will be good. 
- Wednesday one lesson repeated 4 times, what a pain but quite doable. Get home at 7.30 might be pizza day or pasta w veggie burger day.
- Thursday is remote teach from home and it's actually a drag. Run AM and possibly lounge walk garden between lessons. Tried skipping last week but it just hurt my feet! Finish at 8. Bully the young one into cooking!
- OMG Friday is the tough one, start new group of uni students, this will require prep and a lecture and a plan for the whole term. SO that will be the focus. 
- I am literally waking up and worrying about students in the middle of night, I want to make sure I challenge and resource students so they make the most of this first half term. 
Sorry to bore you all with my schedule, but its a bit over on the hours, but should be a good things on payday!
So had a nice morning with the young one, he droves out to a country park, we went for a coffee and a walk and I drove us home. And now I'm back and its time to do some planning. Almost ready for October now! The you ng one is turning 18 next weekend, not the best time to turn 18!

Sunday NSD 15/15.
Will hopefully manage 1 or 2 more before the end of the month. 
Pony ridden, dog had a really long walk, DD has been good, another box filled for the CS and a few things thrown out. I've also packed a couple of boxes with things I won't need before we move. 
Gratitudes- time spent with all our animals, more sorting out done, another freezer meal for dinner tonight.
Still need to sort packed lunches for DD and I for tomorrow, but that will be some more cupboard bits used up.

Today I am grateful for getting to the gym first thing, for dd loving the crazy golf bday bash, for the mum of the bday girl making a gf/df cake, for the map app giving me clear directions to get there (and back again), for fresh air and a warm house and snuggly duvet.

On 20 NSD's.
Was a spend day today. Most of the items I brought were on offer, eg 3 for 2, half price. Got some remedy rescue, hand soap, lavender aromatherapy oil, peppermint oil tablets, aromatherapy oil burner - all saved money which totaled £34.25. I also brought toothpowder online,  charity advent calendar and charity 2021 wall calendar online - some of the profit is divided between different charities.  I did give in and brought 2021 p00h bear diary.
Grateful for:
Finishing my cottage cross stitch kit.
Saving money on things that i needed.
Having a book to read.

I have had 2 NSDs in a row for the first time this month I think. I have been utterly rubbish, but still within budget (ish).

So today I have a shiny new 16 year old!! and an 18 days off 18 year old, and a 5 days off 46 year old.  Birthdays aplenty.

Gratitudes:  finding the straightened paperclip in the drum of my new washing machine before it did any damage, remembering to play 'hunt the school uniform' when they said they did not have any dirty laundry (liars!), for an exciting pantry, and a man to warm my bed (even if he nicks the duvet), and for other people's happy news.

Foxholes - I wouldn't be able to keep biscoffi spread, bought one and just kept dipping in to it everytime I was near oops. Hope the bday was a success.

Friday - dizzy spells continued at home, did the exercise recommended and my ear felt so much better as apparently the crystals move in it.

Saturday - After the rain, lot of clearing up new patio sand washed out and still fair bit of mud by bin area cleared up. Went for a walk along promendade, bumped into a friend trying out her campervan, free cup of tea. NSD gained.

Sunday - poor gd had a trip to hospital night before, cystitus blood in her urine, only 3 so now she is scared to go to the loo. Think as she has been in pain, shes been not drinking.  So had a lazy day in the garden and walk to play area.  Glad it was a sunny one another NSD 3 in a row woo hoo. Bit late now though.

Today - popped to Morrisonss for bread, milk and some veg.  so back to spending ways. My legs freezing in work today, going to have to dig out winter gear tonight.

Grateful for

Feeling better, not as dizzy

Gd drinking and not in pain anymore

Chocolate buttons tonight

Today I am grateful that Monday is over! Lol it's not been the best start to the week but I got through it. Work has just gone absolutely mental suddenly and no signs of it abating.

Yesterday had pony time and just a short ride as I overdid it last week and my back was not happy with me! Then did my volunteering, we finally had a few riders back which was weird but lovely. It was absolutely freezing outdoors all day though even layered up! I did put the heating on when I got in and promptly fell asleep under a blanket on the sofa.

No NSD yesterday as had to order some rabbit food and also ordered some protein powder while I was at it. Have ended the month with £25 to spare which paid for those bits. Next month is looking good so hopefully no unexpected surprises.

Today I am grateful for a lovely day at work, for dd loving her ballet class again, for a beautiful sunset, for the wasp in my classroom taking itself off back outside, for my family.
