Trying a new routine

and hopefully that will become established before the Christmas period comes along. I know once the kids are here for 4 wks, I will be struggling not to slump into my not doing anything routine.

So I managed to walk for an hour this morning which given I didn't want to walk the dog this morning when I got up was surprising. I find the later I get up the more I hate walking as the days here soon warm up. As I already completely soak through my clothes with sweat if I start my walk at 7am, any later and I am taking 2 water bottles with me!

Anyway this morning I put on my stove timer and the aim is finish on the Internet once that time has finished. As it went off about 10 mins ago I am not doing well but then I did have an email to write. Once I have finished this I am going to have a shower and then take myself off upstairs to the room. I have started my August BJP and I plan to sketch out some ideas for at least one painting. It is so long since I painted I am actually scared but I know it like riding a bike, once you know how to ride, you never forget. Well at least I hope so.

Hi there, wow good for you all that walking perhaps thats what I need ~ more excercise. Im sure when you get in the way of painting again youll not want to stop. Just enjoy yourself!! Im like that with my sewing and yes I drive up to Dundee its not too far just the traffic at that time of day is quite bad!!! Ive never had my thyroid checked perhaps I should!! All the best and take care

Just do what makes you happy Jaqui... it took me years to get used to our girls being gone...but they never really have been gone because I was relentless in keeping contact...letters, calls etc...one was easier to be in touch with and the other would drift if let go for too long...but they left together (just after Mum died) in 1994 and it was a real turn about in our lives...many tears shed... its natural.

You will enjoy your freedom from chores while missing them terribly...

So just keep turning that old stove timer back to reset...

So, I was thinking that you should update, because I like to know what is going on in your life.
