I’m in for a quiet Friday tonight and I’m so relieved. I’m curled up all snug under a blanket. I’ve a glass of red wine on the go which is warming me from the inside out. I’ve candles lit and music playing and Dave’s mentioned that we could get a takeaway. There’s no going back now; we’ll be ordering Chinese food in no time.
I’ve cooked some amazing meals this week. I find cooking incredibly stressful most of the time, but I’m getting there recently. I’m even thinking I might actually start using the recipe books we have had for ages, but not used yet. I’m feeling inspired by my best friend who recently moved out and who cooks simple, quick, easy, healthy meals from Joe Wick’s books almost every night and seems so happy for it.
Other highlights this week include finally getting to season nine of Friends and still not knowing any spoilers *touches wood*, going for a wintry walk with Dave, buying a yoga mat and finally having time to paint my nails.
This evening I’m feeling super creative. I want to do a zillion things at once. I am so close to finishing my book, but I haven’t even made a start on the colouring in my ‘mindfulness colouring diary’. I’m also glancing longingly at the piano and ukulele every so often because as per, I just want to sing my heart out.
But I am tired. And on the anxiety front, this week’s been a hard one. The mornings have been hardest of all – I’ve hit train delays three days out of five and on one of those days my car’s wind screen wiper broke too! More grateful for a cosy night in and the thought of takeaway food than ever. It’s the little things.
