Last week was tough. I wasn't well again. I think that it's burnout if I am honest. My work diary for March is jam packed but Monday and Tuesday this week were free so I booked those. More about that later.
Some close friends now live in Crete but still have their house locally. They are currently back in UK to sell it and downsize their UK life. Their house is yards from a train station and sold in about 3 days. They will be off again soon so we arranged to see them.
They came to ours for supper on Saturday. I had decided to do my Katsu curry as this has been a hit. Then needed to think about starters. Thank goodness for Itsu. Thanks to them we had a Japanese feast. I know that's cheating but I mentioned how tired I am.
Anyway it was a great night. Lovely to see them.
Needless to say Sunday was tough with a hangover that wasn't going to shift for anyone.
Then in the evening after 4 hours of cooking on Saturday I literally couldn't be arsed to cook so we ordered an unusual Pizza.
I woke on Monday with a clear head but a stomach of lead. So I am on a health kick. No carbs and no booze. Let's see how long I last! I will update progress next week. 2 days achieved so far.....
Although I had Monday off I needed to do some life laundry. Our airing cupboard hasn't been sorted for 15 years. I keep buying new stuff because it's easier than going through it.
It took hours and I ended up with 2 bin bags of clothes and 4 bin bags of old sheets, towels and blankets. I still didn't find our decent beach towels so I will need to sort that. Our current ones are like drying yourself with a poppadom!
I even found babygrows in there as well as cot blankets.
Once sorted I tool the rubbish to the tip and took the clothes to a clothes bank.
Then took dog for a walk and cooked supper.
This cleared Tuesday to relax. I watched chick flicks for a full day with no boys rolling eyes or having a loud conversation over it.
This morning I am back to work. Still shattered and a bit depressed. I will take it easy.
I was all excited because it was the first time I could take dog out before work. This takes some of the time pressure off during the working day. Also it wasn't raining which is rare right now.
I got back in time to be with son before school and went to make breakfast. My omelette (no carbs) was ready and I sat down to eat it. Son comes in saying he couldn't find a hanky, needed neuron and had forgotten to make his lunch.
So I leapt up and multi tasking sorted all that as fast as possible.
Needless to say by the time I got back to the omelette it was like eating an eraser!
Shattered.... it's not even 7.45am. It's going to be a long day!
Oh the photo.... view this morning as son was rising. Lovely though actually by the road. The woods are saturated and ankle deep with mud. Plus I don't feel safe in there alone super early. Buts not let get started on my fury that women can't walk freely without fear if intimidation or attack. That's a rant for another day.
