Cooked and eaten a decent breakfast - in fact shopped for, cooked and eaten - namely bacon and eggs on wholemeal toast. Food counts. No food = no energy and certainly no positivity.
Attended my appt with H. We've gone fortnightly (every two weeks) which is hard. I did need a little nudge in the right direction, to stop giving myself such a hard time, which I have been. Blimey, the 'shoulds' have been clattering about round here like there's no tomorrow - you could hardly move for the fuckers.
Swam 16 lengths in the open air pool
Ordered hot food to be delivered from the organic place round the corner and a bottle of beer
Eaten too much and had to change into my lovely Michigan pyjama trousers
Started to plan out my Nano 'novel' on paper. Just one side of one sheet of paper, but with quite a few boxes. Only ten days to go. I'll be very happy if I can manage to do some/any of it from a good place and just shrug it off if it becomes a burden. I can't quite express what I mean here, because it is a burden, but one that feels like a gift when it goes well. Might have to start increasing my wordage here, to get into practice. Wittering on, that's what it's about.
Had half an hour on the phone with my brother. It takes us about ten minutes to get comfortable with each other, but then we remember that hey, we're pretty cool.
Seeing H made the difference. I saw her at 3, by which time I'd been up for hours and only just managed to haul myself to the corner for some bacon and eggs. I was with her till 4.30 and look what I did after. Madness (well, duh).
I've posted this before and I dare say I'll post it again. I love everything about it, but today it's the inclusivity that warms me the most:
That's what I love about here too. Sit down next to us.
