Overdoing It

I’ve spent a LOT of time in the Bay this week.

On Wednesday, for the first time in 9 years, I caught the bus into the Bay for some solo time. The fare was 50c - last time I caught it, the price was $2.70 one way.

It was a pleasant trip that took one hour. It didn’t feel like an hour. There were 13 passengers and we got every green light, including the roadworks light. Lucky!

I will happily do it again.

I enjoyed 3 hours by myself, browsing the shops (I found nothing to purchase), did some grocery shopping, sat down for a green juice at The Jam Jar and then called Adoring Husband to pick me up. He had a couple of errands to run so had driven into town about 20 minutes before my call, so the timing was perfect.

On Thursday, BGWLBH had to work at the craft store, so I came into town with her and had some more ‘me’ time.

We drove into town in her courtesy car - she had left her car with the dealer because her car key wasn’t working efficiently and they were supposedly recalibrating it. The courtesy car was a Nissan X-trail and I REALLY liked it (as a passenger). Very comfortable seats and less road noise than most cars.

Today we returned the courtesy car, so spent another couple of hours in the bay.

I’ve certainly overdone it this week and I’m feeling a bit weary. I’ll need a few days to ‘recalibrate’ myself!

Wednesday night for dinner, was chicken saltimbocca with vegetables, Thursday was spaghetti bolognese and this afternoon I crumbed some raw prawn cutlets and cooked them for myself. It seems that Friday AND Saturday are now ‘fend for yourself’ night.

Tonight I thoroughly enjoyed two games of footy. Tigers thrashed the top of the ladder Warriors and my beloved Broncos defeated the Dolphins. I didn’t tip the Tigers but I’m very happy that they won.

I did some art while the footy was on and will hopefully do some more tomorrow. I plan a very quiet and relaxing weekend.

Before I sign off, I need to mention the my Schumann Wave Signal Generator is working a treat and I’ve had three full days without any pain - first time that’s happened in about 3 years. It’s wonderful.

Now it’s time to sleep.

Nite all.
