NST: November 2023 – Sparkle

Toni'sfriend

It is, Beanie. I've told him that once the pain killers and antibiotics kick in there will be a huge improvement but that doesn't help when I'm not there to hold her hand. I cannot believe that her dentist sent her home in that condition. He says they are going to put in a complaint. xxx

@Toni'sfriend - Let your Boy know that we are all thinking about his GF and hoping she is better soon. Sending virtual hugs. Have been through the dental problems before and understand the pain. 

Today will be a no-spend and quiet day. I'm up, but barely awake. No one else is up, probably won't be until afternoon. Only have three things on my to-do list today and both together should take less than thirty minutes, so I will work on decluttering for a couple of hours and do some thinking before roommate is up and watching the hockey/basketball/ American football games and yelling at the TV.

Spent much of the morning trying to work on computer with cat in front of me and trying to type on a keyboard off to the side. She kept rolling over and hitting the enlarge on the computer so everything kept changing size on me.

Here's to a successful week for everyone.

Thank you, Weenancy. Much appreciated xxxx

Sending hugs to all the poorlies & folk struggling just now. DS's GF should definitely complain @Toni'sfriend, they can't treat folk like that!!

Didn't get chance to post yesterday, as it was pretty full on! Did yoga before work, as my neck & shoulders were super tense, tight & sore. A good day at work for me, but not for others. After work I dashed to town, bought a bulb for my car, burdseed, met with a customer who needs an outfit expanding & then went shopping with mum.

After tea, I finished the 3 chickens, whilst watching TV with DS1, then printed out new price signs & counted stock for today's fayre.

An early start this morning, woke DS1&2 up, finished making price signs & sorted out my float.

The fayre was very busy, I sold quite a few of my smaller things. Had a good position, but near an open door, so I got quite cold! It was strange being in my workplace & not doing work stuff!

As I was nearing home, I saw DH setting off for a walk, so I asked him to.wait for me. Are my packed lunch on the way 🤣

Chilled a little in our return, then did the ironing, followed by some if my rug after tea. It felt really good to be still &:do something for me, after all the rushing these past few weeks.

Grateful for time to relax, selling some things, a whole seat to sit on the settee now the ironings done, new customers, finding my once favourite domino bites in L1DL after years of not seeing them 😋 (sampled one tonight to make sure it was the right thing & half the packet accidentally fell into my mouth! 🤣, Though I did let DH have 2!)

Yikes, Toni'sfriend, hope the meds kick in soon for her. And that Himself gets some appetite.

Today I am grateful for dc being inspired by an artist who they phoned yesterday and who chatted to them and was totally lovely, for a clear and chilly day rather than wet and windy, for a visit from a neighbourhood cat, for my microwaveable polar bear.

Evening turtles 

Free day today so I did absolutely loads of batch cooking- lunches for me and OH, a vegan curry, a vegan chilli, and 8 portions of simplycook meals. Only problem is I've now run out of room in the freezer!

Did three loads of washing, hoovered and cleaned the kitchen after all the mess I'd made.

Did manage to get out in between all of the above, walked to the gym and back for boxing class. 

Not much else to report, bit of a quiet one. Got a poorly bunny here so keeping an eye on him, hopefully nothing serious.

Evening everyone 🌘

Had a lovely chilled morning and did some journal work - looking at what I want to achieve in the coming months. Apparently today is a good day for manifesting stuff given it is 11/11 (When you see 11:11 it is meant to be a positive sign from on high!). Then met up with family and was treated out to lunch, and saw Mum at the home who was on good form. 

Today I am grateful for:

1) My parents and all of their support and guidance throughout my life
2) My siblings - for fun times growing up and time spent together now
3) For living a life full of love, laughter, abundance and prosperity, and health and happiness

Today = NSD number 2

Have a lovely evening, and see you tomorrow x

Sorry for being awol turtles. I've really enjoyed catching up with your posts and you have given me some good ideas - whoever was talking about the book club thank you!! I need to focus on the basics this month.

- no drinking next week

- meal plan to get more protein into diet

- help (i.e. talk and listen to) little sis who is currently struggling with depression

- focused spanish practice 

Grateful for coffee, sunny crisps days and a relaxing weekend

This morning I have had an amazing lie in and it is now over. I have talked to my dear son and my sister, showered, taken berries out for a smoothie, done a bit of writing. All good and relaxing activities. Have a lovely Sunday everybody.

Yesterday was a relaxing day by default - I'd got dressed to go downstairs as I didn't want to waste another dry sunny day and when I stood up I went extremely dizzy and got back on the bed. Some tidying done in my room and asked DS3 to take down 2 bags when he brought my drinks and food up. Sorry but I had to have  a takeaway. If food is delivered DS3 will bring it upstairs. If I ask for specific things from stores he forgets or only brings part of what I've asked for (yoghurt instead of yoghurts, bread but no  filling or knife to spread/ cut) and I was very hungry.

finally went downstairs after dark to fetch yoghurts for today's breakfast and a roll of binbags after remembering another possible location. Very frustrated as there is so much I want to get done but books, sewing and Endeavour helped (now up to the third series which is where I started watching from previously (first 2 series clashed with something else I was watching).

Grateful for time to rest, paracetamol (I hate them but they did help  bring my temperature down), finding threads to use up so they are  a little bit tidier (every little helps)
