What are you up to today ?

[HotBothered]

Constantly struggle for ideas of things to do

Me too! Not working for the first time in weeks and weeks, and so far I've tidied up, mowed the lawn, and now I'm just scrolling. Might go for a swim I guess, if I don't do that I'll just end up back at my desk...

Quite a quiet one so not particularly inspiring I fear! Nonetheless;
catching up with laundry, I’m awfully behind
making sausage rolls, a carrot cake and some rock cakes
doing a bit of weeding and deadheading in the garden
went for a lovely walk with the children (4 and 1) and the dog earlier
making pizza dough now for tea later
I’ve promised 4yo a game of hungry hippos in a moment

ive been to an Open Studios Trail, sat in the garden with my book and now I’m watching tennis.

A few bits and bobs but otherwise trying to rest - chronic illness is a thief of time and joy.
Enjoy your activities, those who can do so xx

Mowing the lawn, taking the DC to a local pool, probably a quick visit to our allotment, picking up some bits for a party tomorrow. The usual mountains of laundry that appear from the week. No idea what we’ll eat yet, something as simple as I can get away with!

Went to a concert yesterday in London (live in Birmingham). Got back and into bed at 3.30am. So woke up at 6.30 with horrible stomach cramps. Was up and down a couple of times then fell back to sleep. Slept in till 11. Usually I’m up and at slimming world for 10! Had a lazy day as feel like I’m coming down with a cold as well. Usually one of us takes DD to climbing and then potter around.

After a very very hectic few weeks with the heat, work, and unwell DD back home, I had a few glasses of wine last night and went to bed at a reasonable hour - where I slept for almost 16 hours!

So I have just finished “breakfast” and getting ready to clean the apartment.

Had a busy afternoon- went to get our eyebrows threaded, DW got hers waxed instead this time. They look great! Then went and ran errands.. boots, m&s, pets at home, Asda. Boring but necessary. We sat in the garden with the dogs for a bit when we got back and now we're just doom scrolling, will make dinner in a bit (taco boats) for us and DS who is gaming all day.

I did end up back at my desk 🙄

It was a layz day today. My spaniel started with diarrhea this morning so a quiet day mooching at home apart from a trip (without dogs) to the shops to buy some veg and some storage containers. Spent some time sorting out cupboards this afternoon then took dogs for a short walk followed by coffee at an open air cafe on the clifftopwherer we love. Home, feddogs, partner watered the garden while I cooked jerk chicken with sweet potatoes and a selection of veg. Homemade low godmap choc brownies with strawberries and Alpro yoghurt for afterwards. Had a glass of Prosecco with my dinner.

I managed to get all the dishes done, 3 loads of laundry, fold the dry clothes, empty my suitcase from a trip 2 weeks ago, bag of food shopping put away and hoover everywhere. But I still need to clean bathrooms, iron, and put away dd clothes. Tomorrow is another day.

No help to you: Today was getting laundry done and printouts of insurance docs etc for my DDs trip to Columbia tomorrow (Sunday). She’s off for six weeks internship. Looks like middle seat for her almost ten hour journey to Miami (she didn’t book the flights so didn’t get to choose seats). We leave for the airport at 8.30am. I’m nervous for the journey (Miami is an awful airport and she’s never travelled alone), I just want to know she’s arrived safely at the hotel in Columbia.
