I'm going to regret this aren't I?

[bloodywhitecat]

I'm laying in bed, all by myself, in a holiday cottage eating marmalade on thickly buttered, toasted tiger loaf. I have taken a week off life this week. I moved my last little fosterling on to adoption last week and, for the first time since I moved in with DH, I am alone. It's been a crappy year, one I never wish to repeat and I miss DH more every day but I am still standing and doing OK and, what's more so are the foster babies, they both have wonderful new families. Tomorrow I get to spend time with my wonderful DS, I don't see anywhere near enough of him. Next week, I will start all over again and soon I will have a new fostered one. But for tonight, I am going to lay in bed, eat toast and regret the crumbs in the morning!

Aww you so deserve it! Hope you thoroughly enjoy your time with DS xx ❤️

Good to see you posting, I remember your posts around the death of your DH. You are some woman for one woman! Enjoy the toast, I hope there might be some chocolate too. I wish you good weather for your week. Hug your DS tight and enjoy every moment.

I've been wondering how you were getting on after last week.

marmalade on thick buttered tiger bread toast, in bed, sounds lovely!! Crumbs be damned! I hope you have a big mug of tea to wash it down!!

(Next time put a towel down then you can eliminate the crumb misery!!)

I hope you have a lovely day with DS tomorrow!

Enjoy your week off! I can't believe you're only having a week off tbh so make the most of it.

A wise woman recognises when the absolutely right thing is marmalade on thickly buttered bread in bed. Good for you.

Never regret anything you enjoy! Agree with PP you deserve some chocolate too! X

Don't regret the crumbs. Let them make you smile. They were worth the mess after everything you've gone through.

Every time I see you post I think you're bloody wonderful.

No regrets , enjoy and pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Well done and thank you, I know how valuable a job fostering is.

A towel is a brilliant tip, thank you. Have woken to crumbs brilliant sunshine so once DS gets here we'll be off for a long ramble in the woods.

I don’t know your back story op, can you link?
I am sitting in bed with my dogs asleep all curled up eating hot buttery toast.
I have a UTI that may be more serious - I need to take a step back.
Enjoy your ramble and self care. Amazing how good it feels to nourish and take care of yourself 🫖☕️🥪

Sounds idyllic OP, so glad you are having a break after your terrible year.

A PP said it, every time you post I think you are amazing

I have seen some of your posts before OP, and if anyone deserves to lie in bed eating toast and marmalade in a holiday cottage, it’s definitely you. Enjoy every moment of your break.

Back in lockdown I started a thread because DH had turned yellow and was initially turned away by the GP surgery, it was lockdown and all calls were triaged by the receptionist who told him being yellow didn't warrant an emergency appointment. I called the British Liver Trust who told me to tell him to call back and push for an appointment which he then got. I knew back then it was serious but I didn't realise how serious.

What I love about this post is the sheer enjoyment of the simple pleasures in life. I strongly believe that we should all make more time to appreciate the blissful moments, even if they are few and far between. Enjoy your toast, you have earned it xxx
