    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    @Muttly hope everything goes well today. When I opened my curtains this morning the air was yellow. Two minutes later- hailstorm! Ice has gathered in the corners of the windowpanes, like an image from a Christmas card. I feel for the poor creatures that were out in that. I am very glad that my...

    What Made You Angry Today?

    Unreasonable expectations. If I'm told to do something I know I can't I'm going to say I can't. I'm not going to say 'oh yes, I'll try...' That's not negativity, it's me being realistic.

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    There's such a difference between how I feel now and how I felt this time last week that it's shocking. But do I have the energy for a quick trip to the shops? I need to stock my freezer up on 'sides' so I can eat healthier. Work was different, but kind of fun. I like the way the minute the boss...

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    Note to self: Add the scent of peppermint essential oil to the list of things that will keep you awake all night.:arghh; It didn't even resolve the headache.

    I wish this 'kinda' headache would do one. Going out for lunch again today. I'm glad I got some coursework done this morning. Panic was beginning to take hold. I broke the light in my wardrobe.:( That's what I get for trying to be clever. Trying to fix it did turn up a jumper I have no...

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    It's too cold for gardening. There can't be too much wrong with my store-cupboard if I can make vegan Worcester Sauce from it. My house now stinks of pickle. I might try Welsh Rarebit for lunch tomorrow. Look at me- cooking again! How long will it last this time?

    A question for those with a disability

    The question made me think of my father. I always said he was disabled. Much to my shok he would tell everyone he was a cripple!

    This core belief: i am incapable at leading.

    Can you consider the next few weeks as a final warning? Tell her so, that she has that time to make changes and if she doesn't the coaching role will be taken from her? That's something we do with work if someone's struggling, for whatever reason- give regular reviews with clear goals at the...

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    Why didn't I write down that appointment time? I knew I'd forget when it is. I wonder if my boss will remember he's doing my annual review tomorrow. I wonder if he'll tell me what's going on with my job role. I know he knows, but no one's letting me know! Will one more square of chocolate give...

    Childhood My teachers knew something was wrong

    Yep, and doctors, but nothing ever happened because of it. They were kind enough, and one of two went out of their way to be nice to me. I like to think things have changed since then and more notice is taken when children show such warning signs. Don't know if that's really true though.

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    I'm not buying those logs again. They're barely more than kindling. Stress equals stomach upset. Fun. Why did it come on after I made a decent meal, when all I've been eating for weeks is rubbish? The book I'm reading is getting on my nerves, but I'm determined to finish it. I wish I had some...

    Walking past bodybuilder in a tiny vest who was singing along to his i-pod in a high pitched voice! Wish I had his confidence.

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    Scary thing done. It went fine. Ten hours later and my head's a mess. Don't even know if it's related. Can't settle, can't focus, can't concentrate. How do I put something aside until later? ...

    Too much chocolate, again. Need to warm this house up. This cold is waking me in the night. Think I made a screw up at work. I hate how useless I get when flustered. I should switch a light on. I will do the scary thing tomorrow.

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    That's twice in a matter of weeks I've put the kettle on with no water in it. My house now stinks of burnt metal. It's getting to the point where I need a massage to sort out the kinks in my back. Just book it already. Last night was noisy. Was there a football match on? At least it's not...

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    I'm torn between wanting things back to normal and thinking normal's boring. It's that limbo feeling because it's neither one nor the other right now. I hope my car gets fixed tomorrow. These last few days I've been on a Bones binge. That, and chocolate.
