Saturday snippets 20th July

20th July 2019 by Jax Blunt 3 Comments

{enjoying} the sunshine after the rain. And lots of butterflies in the garden.

{reading} the Valdemar books. I’m up to Magic’s Price, although I’m reading around the series whenever I get my hands on a set.

{eating} sensibly. I just started a 28 day program of yoga and dieting to try and halt the thyroid weight gain and rebuild my strength and fitness. I hate the concept of dieting, but I also hate not being able to fit into my clothes. And while I’m in pain I can’t easily exercise to control weight. Plan is based on 10 minutes in the morning by Barbara Currie. (amazon affiliate link here)

{pondering} how to explain all of the above to the 9 year old. I mean, I’ve told her the above, but what she actually sees is mummy passing up on bread and potatoes and puddings. And I try really hard to not load the kids with issues around food and bodies but it’s all really hard.

Saturday snippets 11th May

11th May 2019 by Jax Blunt Leave a Comment

{working} full time for a short while. Which is a very odd experience, it’s been a while. I’m a lot more tired by it than I used to be.

{reading} every Mercedes Lackey book I can get my hands on. Came across Foundation for £1 in a charity shop and now I need to read them all.

{watching} early criminal minds. Odd comfort watch, but whatever works.

{trying} to make decluttering a way of life. Along with recycling, reducing, etc etc.

{missing} my beach walks.

{waiting} for yet more blood tests.

{sleeping} on a sloped pillow to reduce sleep apnoea. I’m less tired but that might be the increase in thyroxine. Who knows?

Snapshots.

Eldest two are nearly finished their college years, Big has a gig on Friday, small had his last week. Smallest is getting into a rhythm of normals, as in years gone by and Tigerboy is Tigerboy.
