The Midweek Plan

A day in the bay, running an errand for Adoring Husband and doing the usual running around at the butcher, baker, seafood, newsagent, green grocer, juice bar and supermarket.

Home by around 2pm.

I spent the afternoon preparing home made sausage rolls. Full of finely diced celery, carrot, onion, spinach, capsicum, garlic, pork sausage mince, beef mince, salt, pepper, egg and breadcrumbs. Lots of flavour inside with delicious puff pastry covered in sesame seeds. Delicious!

We played trivia and were again, all in bed before 7.30pm.

I’ve spent the evening in bed watching YouTube videos of John Edward. It almost feels like I have my mum with me. She LOVED John Edward. It’s been a long time since I felt the “mum connection” so it’s been nice.

The time is rapidly approaching midnight, so it’s time for me to sleep.

Nite all.

Delayed Catch Up

I had an excellent night of sound sleep, but it was still difficult to get out of bed this morning.

Needless to say, I was a touch late for meditation.

It was a small class but it held a lot of value and the feedback was positive and inspiring.

The weather was not conducive to sitting by the river for our promised catch up so we booked a ZOOM meeting for midday and then spent 3.5 hours sitting on our own beds talking our heads off, solving the world’s spiritual problems and advising each other on how to reach our own next spiritual level.

I love our long chats.

BGWLBH decided to head into the bay for the day.

I made fried rice with garlic, lemon, butter barramundi for dinner.

We played trivia for an hour and again, were all in bed before 7.30pm.

I have nothing planned for tomorrow, which is a good thing, because I rarely follow through with my plans haha.

Now it’s time to sleep.

Nite all.

Another Lazy One

We had some patchy rain today and a couple of short, sharp showers that were so heavy, we had to increase the volume on the TV.

Before I got out of bed, I watched the end of the final round of the golf tournament that I’ve been following. None of my favourites were among the front runners, so I didn’t stay up late and only turned it on at 6am to watch the final hour.

I got out of bed earlier than usual to wash my hair, play with Harley for 40 minutes and then make some breakfast.

I then parked my butt on the couch for the rest of the day!

A couple of fluffy Netflix movies, my quiz shows and I made stir fry vegetables with rice for dinner. Adoring Husband got bonus steamed beef dim sims on his plate. Leftover trifle for dessert.

That was my day. It was lazy and indulgent and just the way I like my days.

Meditation early tomorrow, so it’s time to sleep.

This is Harley with his butt on the arm of AH’s chair and his head on the arm of my chair.

Nite all.

Unfulfilled Plans

I thought that I might spend part of my weekend in the art room making jewellery or finishing some acrylic art paintings that have been waiting very patiently for me to return to them.

While the idea seemed appealing, my motivation and enthusiasm was less than energised.

On Saturday, I watched the new Netflix movie with Sally Field called “Remarkably Bright Creatures”.

I LOVED it - needed tissues - I adore Sally Field as an actor. I also adore octopuses, one of which played a main role in the movie. I highly recommend this one.

Otherwise, football and golf took a lot my attention.

I missed 2 games in my footy tipping. I’m very annoyed that I changed one tip at the last minute and shouldn’t have, but I am, however, in the lead by 2 points now.

The golf is being played in USA, so it’s not even televised until around 10pm - I leave the TV on with the volume on low, all night, so that I can doze on and off and see the live scores each time I wake up.

I admit, it’s not very restful and I have felt quite weary all weekend because of it, but I do enjoy the golf, especially when my favourites, Adam Scott, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Cam Young are playing.

Today, I made a trifle with BGWLBH’s leftover birthday cake. Raspberry jelly, custard, sliced peaches, fresh strawberries, whipped cream and chopped pecans sprinkled on top. It was delicious.

I received phone calls from Number One Son and Bubbles for Mother’s Day and a text from Vegan Chickie. Adoring Husband bought me a lovely plant. My best Mother’s Day for a number of years!

Easy spaghetti bolognese from the freezer for dinner.

We did play some trivia and were all in bed before 7.30pm.

I think I’ll sleep well tonight.

Nite all.

A Pleasing Day

What a pleasant day I’ve had.

My ZOOM meeting with The Gypsy was cancelled because she wasn’t well, so I took Harley out for a long play, made myself some tea and crumpets for breakfast and spent the entire day in my bedroom.

BGWLBH vacuumed the house and did the ironing.

Adoring Husband drove into the bay and then mowed our front lawn.

I lay on my bed all day watching Jet Lag the game, a Mayim Bialik YouTube video about Neurodivergent People (I believe I am one), I napped, watched my quiz shows, got AH to cook me some GF chicken nuggets for an early dinner and then watched the football x 2.

An indulgently lazy day that I very much needed.

My stomach issues have settled beautifully since I started using the Belly Bugz probiotics that were gifted to me by the naturopathic lady at the markets 2 weeks ago. I only started taking them 6 days ago, but within 48 hours, my pain had gone and I was feeling quite energised.

Now I need to climb out of the habitual lifestyle that I’ve created to avoid the constant and/or sudden pain that would overcome me. 

Delaying getting out of bed in the mornings because that’s when the pain was the strongest.

Avoiding certain chores that triggered the pain.

Sitting for the majority of my day so as to avoid pain.

Avoiding certain foods. 

Avoiding certain clothes that were secure around my mid section.

Allowing extra time to get ready to go out so that I could sit down and wait for the pain to dissipate when it hit unexpectedly.

Making sure I knew where to easily find seats out in public.

It’s been quite debilitating really. For 8 yrs, but the last 4 in particular.

Four days without pain has been wonderful and I need to learn how to be normal again!

I also believe that the Schuman Frequency Generator has contributed to my healing. The advice was that it would take a month to be effective and I just realised that it’s been 5 weeks, I guess the combination of the two has contributed.

It’s 11.15pm and I’m feeling a bit peckish so I’d best turn off my light and try to sleep so that I don’t go do a kitchen raid at midnight!

Nite all.
