For Today
It has been a long day. I haven't got much done a part from a small amount of home school and running around sorting the children out. I did manage a lovely long shower this evening however which is always a welcome now it's got much colder up here!
Looking out my window
It's very dark, a few street lights on outside and it's quiet. Often I still see people walking up the alleyway by our home but I guess with this weather they're choosing to stay in..
I am thinking
About an awful lot of things. Happy things and things that worry me, but which shouldn't worry me at all. Also about meals for the week, I'm always thinking of food!
I am thankful
For the lovely doctor we saw today, who was cheery and friendly and told me how well I helped Mr K. She even asked if I was a nurse! I've never had any training to be a carer, I do it purely out of love and believe it's why God made me the way I am. I am also thankful to Him for all the good he has brought towards the end of this awful year.
One of my favourite things
7
Some photos from my day out with my Dad. He and my Mum visited us last weekend and we got to be tourists in my home town.
I am creating
Letters. I love to letter write and it sort of got forgotten about as I had other things to prioritise.
I am wearing
My pyjamas. Fleece bottoms and a jumper so I can stay snug all night long!
I am reading (read) /watching (watched) / listening to
I'm reading a Doctor Who book on and off, some trashy magazines and some blogs. I am catching up on Eastenders and The Apprentice and listening to old songs from my youth as well as my album of Christian music that I love.
I am hoping
For a good close to 2019 so we can focus on good for 2020.
I am learning
That I need to accept who I am but find a balance. I have to believe I have power and can be resilient but I need to work hard to do these things when I am such an empath because without the balance I am nothing but a people pleaser which is honestly no fun at all.
In my kitchen
It actually smells of burned cake! Midge thought she'd bake a cake but she forgot about it. Happens more than we care to admit! I'm hoping tomorrow it'll smell more like apple crumble!
In the school room
Writing letters to Father Christmas and learning about the science of fireworks in home school.
In my garden
It's getting very muddy out there. I need more covers to put my beds to..well, bed over the winter. I have pumpkins to donate to the pigs and tomatoes still growing despite this awful autumn weather!
Post Script
It's been a while since I blogged. My blog turned 8 in September and I have hardly touched it this year. I plan to ease myself in gently and find a new focus for my corner of the web.
