The Law xxx

So if you happen to be popping to ours today and notice a stray bit of broccolli or grains of coffee on the drive way, it’s not a new fandangles feature, just the pesky fox has got the bin again and I’ve done the best I can.

I’ve been up since 03:40, the dog had a poo explosion. I’m less begrudging of it now though as I’m sat in a bubble bath sipping my first (and probably only) hot cup of tea. You don’t get to drink hot drinks when you have young children, it’s the rules.

I was so grumpy earlier that the birds were singing too loudly and I slammed the bedroom window on them, now that wouldn’t happen in a Disney film! To be clear, there were no birds harmed in the slamming of the window, step too far and not up for a rendition of “squish the birds, tuppence a window”

I wonder how Harry is going to be today. He took great pride in running up to every stranger yesterday and telling them he had a sore willy. I suppose I should be grateful that he wasn’t trying to show it to them, but I was mildly embarrassed all the same. He decided to wage war on his bladder and wouldn’t wee in case it hurt. No matter of cajoling, bribery, teasing, tiggling, water running would work. I even had him standing in the shower spraying it with water which he loved, but still wouldn’t give up the goods.

Let’s face it, he’s going to have turned his bed into a veritable water bed. I said to Lee last night that I was half expecting it to start trickling through the ceiling and we were two floors down.

Lee made sure I caught up on some sleep over the weekend and brought me home a beautiful bunch of flowers to wish me luck in my new job which starts today, so I’m feeling very loved and grateful.

Covid has really taken its toll on all of us and it’s so hard to find a happy place and stay bobbing along there. That then makes me feel guilty because I know how lucky I am and that I should feel blessed every second of every day.

So, once again, I’ve had a word with myself, started firmly back on the diet and exercise regime and begun making a mental note and taking a picture of all those scrumptious things that make life so delicious. If I put in the self care to make me happy and healthy then I will have the strength to pass it on to family, friends, loved ones, colleagues and the list goes on.

At the end of the day, life is just too short to waste on being miserable xxx

Go hug the ones you love! We can now, it’s the law and that’s got to count for something xxx

And in the words of Dory, just keep swimming xxx
