Cheery's path to fulfilment - finishing the DIY, looking after myself, appreciating the garden 🌻

Well at least your resting heart rate should have been well down. That is how I tell if my dose needs changing.2

Morning, Cheery 🌞. Just caught up with your diary, and as always your To Do lists have inspired me!
Well done on the result with the LPG company, and I'm glad you had such a wonderful birthday. Hopefully by the time you read this you'll have caught up with your thyroid meds and be feeling much better 😁Live the good life where you have been planted.

Thank you all 😊
I do indeed feel substantially brighter now 🙄 what a wally!
Hey ho. Today's task is the promotions form, and inevitably I am still working on it, despite the submission window closing in (counts on fingers) 3 hours and 39 minutes 😬
Getting there though! I now have all my lists, dates, figures etc in order (no mean feat!) and 'just' need to edit the bits that Mr C cast his eye over yesterday. Nothing substantial to add - this is refining wording to make me sound slightly more confident, and to make my examples sing out a little more.
Going to have a brief break for a cuppa in the garden then back to it. Hoping not to run right up to the deadline... 😬10 -
Ha, well I submitted it with 14 minutes to spare 😬 The short intro wasn't great, but I think I did a reasonable job of the rest. I've either done enough or I haven't, I suppose! Time will tell, it'll be a few months before I hear.
So, moving on. Working at home today, and since I've had my head down and barely been outside all week, I might get some washing out, and maybe work a bit on the patio 😊
Need to ring the garage, the breaks need doing quite urgently on the little car. It's due an MOT this month so I'll see if they can do that at the same time.
Out tomorrow - Mr C has a band practice, and I'm meeting a friend, not sure where yet.
Then the weekend is pretty free! Which I'm pleased about - not quite recovered from the sociableness of last weekend yet 😬
Nothing much financial to report, best get up and on!8 -
Well done on getting the form submitted, hope you can relax a bit now and enjoy some outside time3

Thanks @teapot2 😊
Washing is hung out, it is SO lovely out here today 🥰🥰 bunting is still on the washing line from my party, the dandelions are roaring yellow all over the garden, very lovely 🥰
Nipped out for milk - good job as I saw the polling station signs and remembered the local election. Didn't vote - our station is elsewhere, and I'm going to try to get Mr C to walk down with me tonight.
Another meeting in half an hour,need to forage some lunch (and possibly an ice pop!) first...10 -
