Here we are and it's Wednesday already. Youngest son whatsapped merrily that it's only 100 days to Christmas and there are already Christmas things in the shops! We've had some horrible cold wet and gloomy mornings
@Barbaraj making me feel depressed as I get the winter woolies out and think of the long dark and dreary months ahead but then we've also had some lovely sunny afternoons and evenings. It's very odd.
Babysitting again on Friday which was lovely and then the weekend spent trying to get some of the house straight, hanging curtains, sorting beds, moving furniture (some of the boys came round, not me!) and getting slightly frustrated when husband doesn't do exactly what I want when it's obviously the right way...then dusting etc and sorting through a lot of no. 2 son's documents, uni stuff, bank statements etc. Lots of notes for short stories he started so will remind him of these if he wants to try writing again. Another trip to the charity shop where I was referred to as 'this young lady ' by a lovely gent...
Health wise still lots of niggles that come and go - when I feel down they loom large, when I cheer up they seem less important. Lost a filling today which was tiresome but fortunately the dentist was able to sort it straight away.
Quite a good day yesterday with no painkillers but then achey when I got up and so had some paracetamol. Left ankle still feels weak and rather painful especially if I walk round in bare feet but I try to wriggle it about a bit and remember heel toe walking. Wish I had more stamina -the 5000 steps are only in fits and starts @HoppyNanny. Sometimes feel I'll never be quite right but then I remember I now pop in and out of the shower (which has a step up) without even thinking about it...so there is constant improvement I think even if it's just tiny achievements.
Discovered Poldark on Netflix - had read the books years ago and seen the 1970s series - it's very entertaining and Ross Poldark is good enough to eat...5 series so that will brighten up the longer evenings!
