Sorry to hear about the negative mood. Is your lorry on the road, thinking of can you box up cc and take to a big woods somewhere for a gallop the stress out? If bot that could be a lovely summer plan.
Just spending some time with the horses in the field just watching them munching used to help and calm me sometimes. No pressure today just take it as it is ☺️

Can you have a gentle pottering day? Get a few small niggly jobs out of the way, enjoy some time grooming all your quadrupeds (Stinky and the cats are moulting like crazy) and chatting to them, maybe relax with a book for a bit. There are different ways of finding joy in the day, hour, or moment.
I’d planned a lie-in but am too restless, so have been pottering round the web, reading but getting distracted, and have had a shower. I think I may stick some laundry on (not having a backlog is always joyful!) and take Stinky out for a walk in the rain before looking at my vast long list of stuff that needs doing.

I rummaged in yesterday's veg box and made some soup (pea courgette lettuce) which was a soup on the card in the box. Nice enough, we had it for lunch and enough to freezer for another lunch. I'm still using things up as eventually want to defrost the freezer on the yard. Removed some more fish for dinner. Planned a soup to make tomorrow and am not going to check the horsebox and see if it will start, if not will need to put that on the to do list.
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!1 -
I read somewhere that when feeling like this, you should allow the feelings but set a time limit. So I will allow myself an hour to wallow in self pity and then move on. Should really follow that advice, as I wallowed for 3 days last week 🫣😂
Feel better soon Watty
