In the Midnight hour....
Well, more like ten to two am hour really. I couldn't sleep, I'm feeling really wide awake, so I decided to make some cocoa and catch up on my blog.
So why am I so wide awake? Well I had a fantastic day today, so it could be I'm still on a high from that. Or it could be the indegestion I'm suffering after indulging in a curry to celebrate!
For the last two or three days I've been suffering with pretty bad headaches - ones I'm beginning recognise as stress related/blood pressure related. So I've been trying to relax and meditate to deal with them and I only succumbed to drugs (ibuprofen) once. Today was the BIG meeting with Cat with the senior managers to review how my hard work over the last four months was received. After meeting with the HR Director last week, who was less than enthused to say the least, I was obviously getting a bit stressed about today. But it turned out to be a complete love fest! They thought I was GREAT! And made loads of positive noises about wanting to take this forward. Afterwards Gary thanked me for all my hard work, and apologised for the potential upcoming work not being continuous 5 days a week. I reassured him that "gaps" suited me down to the ground.
I also had a man come around tonight to discuss what we could do with the garden and he's gone away to give me a quote. I feel really confident in him and his company, I'm just a bit worried I over-egged my budget in my enthusiasm. Oh well, its only money and at least it wont be frittered away. At least I'll have a lovely garden I wont have to worry about keeping up as I've asked him to take on ongoing maintenance of it. One less thing to worry about. I can walk down the garden and work in the workshop without feeling guilty I'm not sorting the garden out.
You'll notice I've put in a photo of me - inspired by Eddie (link to his blog:
http://eddiewww.blogspot.com/). He was brave enough to put his before photos up, so I thought I'd bite the bullet and do the same. Now I've worked out how to add photies, I'll try and illustrate a bit more often.
I never did go to Line Dancing - again! I tried to figure out this morning with Jacqui's help what was stopping me. I think its that I just can't face doing exercise in front other people just yet. So I've committed to buying an exercise machine of some sort and using that in the privacy of my own home - don't have to go to a gym or anything where people can see me. So I've been looking on the net, ebay etc and I think I'm opting for a cross trainer - low impact, but good workout. It also doesn't take up too much room! Just need to search about for the right deal now.
