Still surprised

I got back to work, and I'm so grateful for it. If someone told me in December that I'd get an unplanned week off work without being ill I would have been 'Yeah!' but the reality was that I got cabin fever (wasn't going far - apart from a walk with Bella), once J & R left it was only really Mark I saw and he was working all day. I felt bad about not being in the office so that wasn't great either. I didn't get paid but that's ok, I got a £48 tax refund lol. It's so nice being back though and I've been super busy! Ahhh.

Friday the weather did nothing. Saturday I attempted to drive to the local shop for my paper and there were big machinery clearing both village roads to the main street. So I went to Asda for groceries - and spent a fortune. It started to rain and by Sunday Isaac couldn't get to Asda for work because the roads were closed due to flooding! Facebook community posted loads of pictures of the huge puddles! Not sure how Isaac's little car even got through them to get to the closed road sign on the main road. From the sublime, to the ridiculous! 

I didn't put a single ounce on during Christmas. It's amazing and just doesn't get old. My before life would have seen half a stone easy. And I didn't feel cheated or compromised. I ate and drank to my best effort. Having a new normal set point has simply transformed my life for the better, and I love it so much. Praise be to the fairies and people who got me here! Thank you to so many, I hope you know who you are. 

I just want to end this week by reiterating that the dark nights are getting lighter. When I drive home in the evening it's still dark but there is a redness to the sunset and a light blue glow. Whoop! Spring will be here so soon. I've even seen my daffodils taking a sneaking peek! 

If you want to fly you have to give up what's weighing you down.
