flaxseed's Journal, 25 February 2010

Hello Thursday. Yesterday was a reasonably good day - all I need to do now is keep going. Its quiet and still here, the snow muffles all the sounds and everywhere is shrouded in mist. Every now and then the ghostly figure of a cow or sheep emerges and then fades away again OH still sleeping and I'm enjoying my 'me' time. I'm going to get almost a whole day to myself on Friday while he has his transfusion. Thinking about what I'm going to do with it is delicious.

Still no cigarettes and eating was so much better yesterday. Not perfect, but on the right track. I've been thinking that I need to live 'for the moment' and not look too far ahead. There is little that I can change and I can only make the best decisions that I can for now and not beat myself up over it when it turns out to be not quite right further down the line. I'm human and fallible so why should I assume that I'll get it right all the time.

I hope I'm going to stay with my granddaughter No 2 while her Mum and Dad hop off to Italy for their 25th wedding anniversary. Can't believe I'm old enough to have a daughter who's been married for that long. It all hinges on the bladder operation. They haven't mentioned a date for the operation only 11th March for pre-op assessment. I'm due to travel on 18th, so its a bit up in the air. I could do with getting it sorted as I'm going by train and if I pre-book the fare will be about 1/3rd of the full price. Money is tight and admitting to your children that you need help is hard. I wonder why its worse having a sub from your children than from your parents.

Well, I can hear stirrings from upstairs, so breakfast is in order. Have a great S day

I love the suggestion of living in the moment. I need to remember that more.I hope you find wonderful things to do with your "me" time.

How wonderful about the no smoking! Good for you! AND for the realization about living for the moment. I like that so much and thank you for sharing it. I hope to do the same myself. I realized after reading your journal that I am very often thinking about what will happen down the road. Which I can not control so why do it? Thank you so much! You really helped me today.:) {{{{hugs}}}} I hope everything works out with your travel plans and you have a lovely trip.

You are a good writer. I like the way you use words in your journal to describe things at home. Take care and hold on with all that you have going on!
