With the warmer weather my home sowed annuals grow better, and the weeds even better... And I am in a never ending war with the slugs.
I realise I am rather busy myself, which is to blame on your Queen's jubileum. I started to play Runescape in 2004, and after some time (too long) I quitted because it is so time consuming. At the end of May I got a free 2 weeks subscription (the Jagex games studio is headquartered in Cambridge), so I spend quite some time skilling up my character... And now there is the outstanding household stuff again - cleaning ofcourse
Yesterday was sunny, so I took my mother for a trip to the Beemster polder, which she frequented with my father so much.
Today lots of rain again, which means the slugs are on the winning side
Between the showers I went to the market to start buying stuff for my upcoming bday party, I want to do a high tea for who knows how many will join... probably 20? Can be 15, or 25, I really don't know yet. It is not for another week, but I need to clean house as well, which I dread
Husband started to saw next winter's firewood today, we better be prepared. Even this June we built a fire in the heater several times...
How is your health going along now?
Even though our garden is a courtyard garden covered in concrete we too have many weeds and slugs, our slug war never ends as we get up in the mornings to find slug trails in our house almost daily! nasty things.
It's good you have been making the most of the sun while it has been out, now send some our way please
My health is all over the place at the moment. I never realized just how much stress and anxiety effects my IBS until now. It was awful last weeks, i was having the worst anxiety attacks i have had in years! My other half went away for 5 days for a music festival, the longest time we have been apart in 9 years and as it was just after having an anxiety attack i was stressed before he even went. Since he came home on Monday though everything seems to have calmed now.
I have also been busy with sorting out my eldest daughters school, she starts in September so has been going to lots of open days and we have to get her uniform and forms sorted. The other thing that has kept me off of DA most is planning my wedding. The day after our ten year anniversary i got to thinking after someone said on here he should buy me a ring. I have put it off for so long as i am not a wedding person but i thought it's ten years we probably should get married, my other half said i better buy you a ring then. (i'm still waiting for my ring by the way lol) We will marry on Halloween this year. I wanted the same year as our ten year anniversary so that gives me 4 months to plan, it's going to be small 20-25 people and very nontraditional as the white dress, speeches and dances is what has put me off for so long.
I understand your health is improving since you now noticed the impact stress have on you. Stress is nasty. It is hard to avoid it, one have to learn to deal with stressfull situations. Easy said, I know. I almost got a burn-out years ago because I could not deal with stress and unfair play on my job. After having the kids I learned to see things more in perspective (and growing more selfish
I like the idea you have a school uniform. It avoids judging someone on his or her clothes, resulting in the ones who follow the fashion are more popular than the ones who don't (and this is getting worse over here) - and so there is a lot of money involved for buying unnecessary outfits and accessories
And a wedding is a nice thing to look forward to, especially a wedding which YOU like, after all it is your wedding so you are the ones to plan everything the way you want it. I think white weddingdresses (although they can be gorgeous) are a waste of money since you can only wear it once. When I got married I was 5 1/2 months pregnant so I bought an ordinary but lovely dress, with the intention to wear it more than once. (It turned out I did wear it just 1 more time...) And we also skipped the speeches and dances, because it is not our idea of a party (I hate speeches, and my husband cannot dance
Have fun with planning the party!
