    My lovely husband injured his arm on Saturday (it's not serious, and no, I'm not happy about that). but it means he's off work for two days, and I love having him home. And...sorry if it offends the feminists, but I get to take care of him for once, cause he usually takes care of me. :)

    Took my elderly Da shopping today, despite all his medical issues including a very bad hip, he managed to get around great, didn't even need the wheelchair.

    We sat and had tea and coffee and scones together.He met a few people he knew so he was delighted.
    I suggested a pint but he wasn't up for it.

    As I was leaving school this afternoon, I was stopped by a charming Grandad who I had never met before. He said that he couldn't let the day go by without complimenting Ms. Honeybear on her "moves" at the Christmas Concert. With an outrageous wink, he drove off shouting "you have an admirer!" The man may be nearly 70 but I was a smiling Bumbóg as I drove home ... it's always lovely to be complimented!

    My dog is finally starting to settle into my new place. He hated it to begin with and used to look at me like he missed home, and I just wished he could understand that I miss it too, I know this is shlte but it’s the best I can do right now. He used to pine when we would drive past the old house, making a sad situation even sadder; and didn’t leave my side for weeks. Now he’s currently upstairs in the spare room which he has claimed as his own, sprawled legs akimbo on the fluffy duvet loving life. We used to live in a bungalow, and it took him ages to even accomplish the stairs without being carried up in my arms, so I’m just so relieved that he has finally settled.

    A smug TH for me. After the past 6 months in which my mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness, my Aunt was also diagnosed with terminal cancer, I lost an uncle also through cancer, I lost my best friend through suicide, I had a very stressful move to an apartment I bought and battled my own mental health problems on top of those things. In spite of it all I can sit in my apartment tonight and know I have managed to retain my humour and positivity through it all despite all the sadness. And I have not lost my empathy for others or my willingness to help them.
    If all that happened one year ago I don't think I would have been able to cope but really really putting the effort into diet, exercise, meditation and positive mental thinking in the past year has definitely paid off for me. There are tough times behind me and tough times ahead of me but I have realised I am much tougher than I ever knew.
    I have one more day in work then I'm off for 13 days and I know this will be a tough Christmas for me but I will face it head on, persevere and conquer it all.


    A big fat smug TH for me. :)

    Guy that’s a lovely TH, well done for getting through it so well


    My TH is just how much of a roll I’ve been on with my thesis, I made a plan to start it on Monday but actually started on Sunday and have been putting solid work into it every day since (not even a week I know, but still). Just happy in myself that there’s an end in sight even if it’s a good way off, I’m starting to see it slightly :)

    When someone makes your heart go all fluttery.

    More TH again when your friendship is too precious to risk by ever acting on it. That's something real and strong right there. When fondness for someone is just as strong as any lust or infatuation you've ever felt for anyone.

    Was looking for a specifit therapy aid in an older format,
    I had a look online, and it reminded me that I might have one already.


    Had a good look and I do indeed have it, and just now found its player works still.

    Best part of 100e back in my pocket.

    I rediscovered a musician I hadn't heard in 20 years and been playing him non stop.

    He was on the late late show in 1999, that long ago. Feeling a little old. Hell no YouTube or spotify back then.

    Anyway still touring Ireland and I have decided to catch a show :)

    I never watch The Late Late show but couldn't resist tonight cos of Brendan Grace.
    What a smashing man and so many laughs and happiness given to so many over the years.

    Sad knowing he's gone but happy to remember him and have a good laugh.
