Saturday tlc

Looks like you got your day planned out well Ivy :)
I intend to have a lay in, then maybe a nice soak in the bath before doing the tidying up and making the house look presentable!
My mum and dad are over visiting from South Africa atm, and with 2 extra ppl in the house,it's amazing how much more work there is to do! My mum hasnt been well this week, so I have been doing everything, so I think I need a little relaxation in the morning!
Busy afternoon ahead though, my two daughters are coming round with their partners and my grandson of 2 years will be here too, so no sitting down and relaxing for me in the afternoon, I will be cooking a meal for 9 people and no doubt doing all the dishes etc afterwards, not to mention all the tidying up etc when they have gone!
So sunday will be my day off, I think, my partner will take over the cooking and making sure everything is tidy, hopefully on sunday, as I feel worn out already from the busy week I have had, what with doctors visits for mum and blood tests for dad, and trying to keep everyone happy and amused at the same time!!!!
I do like having the family all round together though, its not very often it's possible and sometimes when everybody is round it just makes me think how lucky I really am to have such a close and beautiful family,and wouldn't be without them for the world!

I won't be doing very much today. I could have gone to a family get-together, but I decided against it. Half regretting that decision, but considering I don't feel wonderful it is probably the right one.

My list:

* Pop out this afternoon. There's nothing I really need to buy, so maybe I'll turn it into a walk and a cup of coffee in a cafe
* Wrap up my nephew's birthday presents
* Give my bedroom room a bit of a tidy. Try to sort out the vaguely depressing entanglement of wires.
* Cook dinner for myself. We've got loads of eggs, so I'm veering towards an omelette at the moment. Lotsa cheese as well, so possibly cheese omelette
* Read some more of my book

I'll go out first of all. Partly because it's already getting quite late into the afternoon and partly because I feel a bit low and this might perk me up. @Michelle - Hope you enjoy the family get-together, it sounds nice...

Didn't proofread last post properly, obviously :-/

Today was a weird day, but in the end it turned out good. I did go for a walk, alongside the local canal. It was pleasant and green. But I felt uneasy in my mind for some reason. And then out of the blue I had a panic attack about having left the front door unlocked or even open. A cold dread took over. It was absolutely horrible. It subsided, but left me wanting to drive straight home to check we hadn't been burgled. There was no point in me continuing the walk, as I would have been incapable of enjoying it, so I turned back.

I didn't go straight home though. By the time I'd reached the high street, I was calmer and more able to rationalise that it was unlikely I'd left the door wide open. I stopped in a cafe, got a coffee, and sat and people-watched for a while. Then I read a bit of my book. Drove home and of course the front door was closed and we hadn't been burgled. It was weird, though. I don't usually get panic attacks like that... Not about that sort of thing at any rate.

Anyway, I did nearly everything else on my list. Cooked an omelette (without cheese in the end), read another chapter in the garden, and - most satisfying of all - wrapped my nephew's presents. I tried to do a neat job and it must have been taken the best part of an hour. There's no way I'd have done it if I hadn't made it a goal by writing it down on here. My mum will also be pleased, as she won't have expected me to have done it <_<

Haven't tidied my bedroom, but that's not that bad really. It's just the wires which are annoying me, so I'll see to them after I've finished this post, I think.

Thanks, Ivy :p

My mum was really happy about the presents, which just goes to show how much of a surprise it must have been... <_<

^Glad your day was a nice one.

Gosh, I wonder how I got the idea that you needed to get your licence? Were you the poster who kept talking about needing to do some sort of test, talk to some sort of instructor? Or have I muddled you with someone else?

I think I passed my test on the third try too. The first time - and I can't believe I'm posting it here because it's so embarrassing - I froze and blanked out and couldn't turn the car on *blush* so copped an automatic fail before even leaving the car park. They've only had one other person ever do that LOL.

Sorry about your nightmares too, Lyn. We're a pair, aren't we...

Ivy.
