I have had the house to myself for a week.  My son has been off on a new adventure.  It has been a reasonable week but I have persistently dragged my feet. I did a little music, writing, gardening housework etc, but not much.  I watched a few good tv series and low grade self care. I even had a bath! I could have gotten a lot more out of the time, but I was also hesitant and dithery.  I wont beat up on myself, but I am not as strong and directed as I once was. 

My son called me today and wanted to come home a night earlier. I am glad he is coming home and I could tell him I had a good show planned.  I was not pining for him.  I  think his holiday was half a success but he has a cold, and I will bear in mind @Owlunar chat about male hormones not being as good for the job and the fact of mancolds.

Hope your day went well @Faith-and-Hope 

It is feast days that we women often work at to keep our tribes together.

@outlander Hope your hand is healing.

Love to all.

[Appleblossom]

Thanks @outlander

Yes it was a lovely night catching up.

Yeah I know guys can do the the grunt and monosyllable thing a lot especially with female rellies. But I have also seen them gossip and dominate the social scene often enough so I dont buy into that as a norm. I try and encourage some open communication.

How are you doing?

[outlander]

Im glad your catch up was good @Appleblossom did he enjoy his time away besides having the lurgy?
Im going ok atm taking it step by step but getting there

Any plans for yourself today?

[Appleblossom]

Today we will be sprinkling our cat's ashes down by the river.  Mo died just before Christmas.

A 15 yo long hair mummy's boy perfect snuggler.  He had a good life and a very quiet gentle death.

Thinking of you today @Appleblossom. Scattering your beloved pet's ashes is bound to bring up all sorts of emotions.

Sending you strength. xx
