The fire is on. I have a cold. It is annoying but almost predictable at this time of year. I have to review my habits because I haven’t been doing my exercises every day, or having juice, or taking my vitamins. It is cold in the mornings and I am tired and lazy. I couldn’t work today so I have spent the day in bed. Thinking a lot about the adjustments I need to make to stay healthy.
Watching and Reading and Cleaning
Those three words summarise my weekend. I have been watching some DVD’s, romantic comedies that were enjoyable but not probably memorable and after having said that I don’t even think I will mention their titles. I have read a bit online and put a couple of clips on Revver from the Broken Hill trip that I took earlier this year. I have finally taken the clothes off the line and washed some more and will be vacuuming and generally cleaning up this afternoon. I am also going to visit pa. I have done some offspring ferrying. Asha went to friends yesterday and then to a party last night. I actually went to bed early and set my alarm to go get her. I think I will do that more in future. Trying to stay up until young people have finished with their partying is a little unrealistic for me lately. I can’t believe I used to be such a night owl. This entry is just blah blah blah….. I think I am avoiding housework.
Home fires burning
The cold weather has set in. I lit a fire tonight. I love a fire and I enjoy it once it’s started but coming home to a cold house and having to collect wood and make a fire seems too much work when I am cold. It is also not good for the environment! I am going to have to find an alternative heating solution. We put jumpers on most of the time because we aren’t home long enough to bother with a fire, which realistically is only viable if you are going to be home for a length of time. I am concerned that if we get a more convenient form of heating it will be overused. Decisions decisions!
Today both my children were unwell. Tom was collected early yesterday and stayed home today. Ash was collected early today. I am feeling a little ordinary also so I am really glad it is the weekend. I would like to stay in bed all weekend and read and eat chocolate. I have some movies to watch also. This is a fantasy because there are a few things I really have to do!
