I forgot

 

I got a message from my mum asking where my blog was. First time ever that I forgot! 

Now, I haven't had therapy or counselling but I have lost weight and I've aged. I've been looking in the mirror more, literally and figuratively. Literally because I like what I see and figuratively because I'm getting older! I don't like what I've been seeing on the inside. It's probably something I've always known and I bet everyone that knows me won't be surprised by this but I'm rather critical! Big news! I'm trying hard not to be, live and let live and all that. I would definitely describe myself as someone who doesn't suffer fools gladly. It's always driven crazy when people say stupid things (even though I myself have said idiotic things - just ask Mark, he'll give you a list). I get frustrated when people get their spellings or grammar wrong (even though I don't know all the grammar rules. Apostrophe anyone?). Going forward I'm doing my very best not to let other people's ignorance affect me (or is it effect? See, I'm not perfect). Maybe I might laugh if it's with someone not at someone (I only laugh at someone in private). Why am I like this? Mum do you know? No one is perfect and not everyone is academic, and everyone has their strengths even if it's just common sense or a great sense of direction - I lack both. 

My weight has still not moved. My body has reached it's settled point. I've been to see the nurse this morning and my BP is great and I might be able to come off the meds. Whoop. My diet is pretty healthy but I must try harder to eat less chocolate and biscuits etc. A biscuit in the morning with my cuppa is fine but not 4 biscuits throughout the day! I adore chocolate and want it all day and I'm not giving it up but I must cut down. I also don't dr ink enough (water I mean, alcohol I probably have too much). 

Ellie has finished her dissertation and that's the masters degree complete! We celebrated last night (this will be why I forgot my blog). I'll let you know her grades when she gets them. I'm super proud of her. She did it whilst working full time! Go girl. 

PS normally I'd Google the difference between affect and effect but I'm trying to relax my perfectivity lol.

I finally found my rhythm when I realised that even backward steps are part of the dance.
