what = awesome?!

Ive had a nicely busy day today! Been feeling abit of anxiety about being less active again tho.... and Im really trying to keep it in check cos i know that ill be going back to work on monday and i do NOT want my walking to spiral off again. I know now that i can be inactive, so the fact that i will be busy doing stuff at work, means i need to be pushing myself to be less active in the other areas of my life.

im gonna need to get cracking on some of these!

Today marked my last day of walking the dog with mum in the mornings, cos she has gone back upto london till the weekend and then on monday ill be waking up early to get to work. Boo! It was fun, but i need to remember that it was not a necessary walk... but it was a way to practice going at a SLOW walking pace and a being able to STOP when my mum said stop (so not a very long walk most days!!) Its good that i wont be doing it for the next few days, cos i worry that my head would start thinking id need to do an "equivalent" walk to make up for it.... and that'd be silly wouldnt it! So i WONT be going on my own... i dont have the dog so why would i?! And tomo, luckily i have a distraction, ill  still have to get up cos im off to this spa-day thing with my friend - woohoooo!! i SO need a day of pampering and relaxation right now... my shoulders are so tense after the stresses of Xmas. Weirdly it doesnt really feel like ive had much of a holiday!! But christmas is always like that...

So tomo is gonna be nice :-) But back to TODAY eh?! We woke up earlier than usual cos the mumatron wanted to go into town to take her laptop to the apple shop, but even getting out of bed at 7:30 seemed painfully early! I need to get back into the swing of early mornings, cos thats about the time im dressed and having breakfast on a workday! Ohhhhh dear... i can tell next week is gonna be an "interesting" one. Pfft. At least i wont have to kill myself getting up earlier to stretch tho... ive managed to quit the majority of my stretches, ive only been doing a few while i waited for mum to get ready to take the dog (it was quite good to have a time-scale, so that i couldnt keep going longer) But thats still not cutting it out completely and i can see how ive started to rely on being able t do them again... so im gonna see if i cant get that totally OUT by the end of this week and stop fully. It would be good to start back at work and NOT be doing them (and i really could use the extra 20mins in bed!!) :p

As it happens, after the walk i decided that yes, it WAS too early and so went back to bed for abit. hahaha... but annoyingly, then i felt lazy and so did abit more stretching. GAH - can i ever win?? :s By the time we'd had breakfast and faffed about (mum discovered pinterest, but somehow managed to follow a whole LOAD of people she didnt want to.... shes so special!) So we decided the apple shop would have to wait in favour of going to the supermarket before she drove upto london. I then walked into town to post some parcels for her at the post office (dutiful daughter, thats me!) and had a little look in topshop (where i bumped into a crowd of my pupils... DAMN those school holidays!) before driving to this business estate place to find a printing company who could laminate my large scale poster. (its a limited edition band poster and its starting to suffer wear and tear... i figured if i got it laminated - it will be protected!) laminating = awesome!

seriously. its THIS exciting.

After this i picked up my friend L, the girl who is gonna be my new housemate in Feb!! Yeeeaaaaaaay!!! shes such a sweetheart and even tho we havent know each other that long (shes currently the housemate of my preggo friend) we get on really well and i think this will be really good. Im looking forwards to living with a friend, as its not something ive really done before... i lived with my sis at uni and then i got ill, so.... YEAH! im excited. it'll be good for me to get out of this rut and even tho my ED is scared shitless as it means no more getting its own way and keeping me tied into stupid rules and routines. thats exactly what i WANT! i need some extra backup so that i can take this motherf**ker of a disorder down... once and for all!

So after showing her the house, we had a nice chat and a cuppa tea and talked "house-mate" stuff. haha. I think its all pretty much sorted now! She's gonna come over next week and we're gonna cook dinner for the mumster, so that she can meet her and all that... then over the next few weeks we'll clear out her new room and start moving her stuff in....! EEK! its all happening :-)

Now ive finally got a minute to chill, so its blog catchup time (as well as paying mums parking fine... and pretending to do some work again!) Then a fantabulous sofa-dinner-slob-out evening. Ahhhh, perfection! the mumster has gone, so i can watch ALL the trashy tv that i havent been able to watch since before xmas! ohmygaaaaad, its gonna be amazeballs :p

all the besties...

RIGHT, enough chatter.... im off!!! have a lovely midweek evening everyone... OH and for those of you who had to go back to work today. I feel your pain... I hope it wasnt TOO painful! but then i also feel SUPERGLADANDHAPPY that im not back till monday!!! Hahahaaa (ok, that was mean... please dont turn that round on me when im suffering the "first-day-back-blues" next week :p)

So, this is where i love you and leave you funsters... 

In a while (not a mile)!

i really hope these goodbye metaphors arent getting old yet!

:p
