Help me with my day

Dh has taken dds out - they should be back around 2.

I am meant to have 'time to myself'. The plan was to have a lie in (done, dh brought me tea in bed) then do some yoga and go for a walk into town - this is a small town with not much in it but it has a tk maxx and a Superdrug and I want to refresh my make up a bit.

It's pissing down. I need a shower but I am paralysed by whether I go and do some exercise first or not. I am not sure I can make the effort to do the yoga or the things I should be doing.

I spent all of yesterday either on a nice walk with dh or reading and other than putting a load of washing on which I've just done, nothing to do as dh did the chores before he left. I've been off work since the 19th and have lots of time to unwind (was very close to burn out).

I am bored and frustrated and getting a bit tearful tbh. I just can't make myself do anything to make me feel better

Go into town. Wrap up and take (or buy) a Brolly. I was unable to do this for years until I bought the right footwear for rain!

Have a shower right now! You will feel much better.

Then hit TK Maxx. Then come home for a bit of yoga and a lie down.

Right I've had shower and got clothes out. I am going to town to get shampoo as I just had to pinch dds!

I have highly unattractive but waterproof coat and boots at the ready.

I still feel a bit overwhelmed but breaking it down helps. I have on Alexa and she is giving me 15 mins to find a restorative yoga practice for later if I feel like it.

And I bleached the loo as I am incapable of doing things just for myself it seems! DH has the patience of a saint I tell you.....
