@Thrifty_Taylor sending loads of luck your way. Got everything crossed for your hubby!
Update for yesterday and plans for today;
Outside Managed a walk round the town centre to get a break from my desk.
Inside Nothing yesterday.
Fun Yes! Impromptu date night with OH (just a couple of drinks in the local), booked a one night break for next week, just the 2 of us. Still trying to work out what to do with a 17yo and 14 yo. Neither of them particularly want to spend time with us anymore!
Food/Drink Had wine. Enjoyed it at the time. Regretting it now. Head very foggy. Still on 12/31 AF days so far this month. Meals were all healthy and packed with veg. Overdid the chocolate. Again.
Read Yes, solve for happy listened to on the way into work.
Plan 4 Dec Nothing.
Gratitudes Work from home today. Quality time with OH. Booking a mini break for next week.
Yoga/Meditation Didn't go to yoga last night, haven't meditated this morning. Really need to get back in the yoga and meditation routine. It's really slipped and I'm really noticing it.
Spending Still on NSD 5/10. We've got plenty of food in house but running out of bread and milk so probably will do a mini top up today. This will stop us doing a full shop tomorrow I hope.

Oh, Thrifty, I've got everything crossed for you too. Hope all goes well.
I now have a working oven. Roast chicken dinner on Sunday! And I got a text this morning to say the freezer is coming on Saturday. Very impressed with the customer service. Just kind of feel that I'm doing nothing but move things from pillar to post at the moment but it will all be worth it in the end.
So I have along list of things needing done. Don't know if I'll manage all of it but I'll do what I can.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.8 -

Thrifty_Taylor said:We were woken at 6.30 by DH's phone ringing. They've found a match for his kidney!! He has gone in the ambulance & his plane is due to leave for Edinburgh any minute now. I'm home with the family. Keeping everything crossed that it all goes ahead (the patient it's coming from is still living, but not for much longer). Will hopefully hear from DH later to see if it's going ahead or if he'll be flying home again

Today I am grateful for not having to go out in the rain, for getting lots of things cut out, for dc finding some more piano music, for selling something on gumt, for an evening walk.

@Thrifty_Taylor I hope everything goes well for OH, it sounds bittersweet but I firmly believe in organ donation! My OH's dad had one last year.
My back continues to flare up, was going to go to boxing today but decided against it. Good job really as I got stuck at work anyway in the end.
Stocked up on some hay for my rabbits, I buy in bulk online, so much cheaper than the pet shops and the quality is much better (the vet has even complimented me on it once haha). Only problem is finding space for a massive box of hay but we get by! Also ordered a simplycook box, tend to get one once a month. Shopping delivery is coming any minute now as well.
Managed a lunchtime walk for the first time this week. Need to make that a habit!8
