Yes, it was a very busy day, HVDY, but satisfying, I coulnt collect my bike today as I wasn't aware I needed to get a number plate for my car with the bike fixture, as a previous bike holder was high up and didnt cover the number plate.
After Halfords I needed to just get out, and drove off into the countryside to "the" favourite spot. which of course, is full of Ex memories as well, but now produces a sense of "how can I make his life better, get recognition that we had both a very close and passionate relationship, but also mutually dysfunctional due to out respective difficulties. It was a lovely evening.
I couldn't help reflecting both at Halfords and out in the countryside how I was the only woman alone doing all the bike stuff and being out and about. there were couples, and single men. some borderline hostility at Halfords - me usually do this sort of stuff, even now: Men go out alone for walks mostly, even now. I'm of course aware of safety issues but it's clear that us women havent yet "got there". At home I usual employ a woman to do house hold alterations and electrics and decorating when I can. I like being out now and having my thoughts for myself. that doesnt mean that I am not looking for a new partner, I cautiously am. As the song I was playing on Radio Two on the way home, "everybody needs a loving heart".
This might not be a partner of course, it can be family and loving friends, but in my situation it's a partner. I am not rushing in, done that before with Ex.
Hey HVDY I also want to do the Zumba Gold class.
I loved to dance, always have. I like it when they do a slow salsa rhythm. I'm just relieved I dont have a Jaffa to wake me up however.
Ellie Anne, it's great that you are going to undertake that drive, and I don't have a satnav either. I use the old fashioned method, of asking for help if I take the wrong road. Let us know you have arrived OK.
I'm so glad you are getting help with your sleep apnea, Candy: it must be so debilitating.
Doodle, mint sauce with everything? its ginger for me. goes in most of what I cook one way or another. I don't really like mint - except when I used to eat lamb. Now that was a nice day with friends. Nothing can "make it all alright" but loving friendship is a big help.
Nadateturbe its such a battle for you to "accept". It's a battle for all really, but you have a very very hard task especially, all that you can't do. I think the only way I could cope was to be in bed with my laptop, with music and chat when I can, if there is something worth while watching, or just stuff like wave sounds (which I use when I cant sleep), treat food and hugs.
Sweetpeasue did you get your F2F? I so hope so...and if it was not today, as soon as possible.
Fortunately for the first time this week, I do not have to get up early for something - my back up area is coming to help me get the house in order, especially hoovering the bits that feel just too much atm and general getting the house ready for my "new" nephew and his wife on Saturday, which is also fortunately in the afternoon. The busy week will be at an end - fingers crossed the bike and all the bits and pieces will be sorted tomorrow: and nephew can show me how on earth to work the new style complex bike gear system.
I will be cautionary cycling up and down my road for quite some time I suspect getting used to it.
, which seems mad, as I think of you as being my kind of age. You're enjoying your time away, which sounds delightful.
. I couldn't ever be angry. Our stairs (after the 2nd bedroom) will be next to do, then the living room last (it's a lounge/diner so will be a bigger job, moving furniture etc). It made me smile to think of your husband having a little dance in the knicker aisle. Why do you think the GP might say no to F2F? I hope you manage to get an appointment.
