flaxseed's Journal, 23 January 2010

I seem to have got my eating under control for the last few days. I am inordinately tired today, even though I slept well. I'm sure its stress. I don't seem to able to muster any enthusiasm for anything - not even eating and that must be a first! I'm working on my workbook and coming up with reasons why I think as negatively as I do, is proving enlightening and painful.

Snow is going fast except for where the plough piled it up on the roadside. The lane is green now with about 40 4 ft high piles all the way down. They look like lines of snowmen from a distance. Its still far too cold to walk yet. I can't wait to get out in the garden again. There are so many shrubs that have been broken down by the weight of the snow. My beautiful deep purple Hebe outside the front door is flattened and broken, but the cotton lavender seems to be making a remarkable recovery. Its amazing but as the snow melts I can see the tips of the bulbs poking through the soil. Snowdrops will be here soon.

Daughter No. 1 has had a traumatic week too. Her prosthesis burst on Friday and she had to go to work looking very lopsided with a strategically placed scarf to hide things and the letter has come for my granddaughter to have her corneal transplant.

Daughter No. 2 has swapped her beloved soft top car with cream leather interior and two chocolate hearts on the bonnet for a 4 x 4 to accommodate the new puppy. The things we do for the love of an animal.

Hope everyone has a productive and healthy weekend
