A choice, this or that
Time for you or time to sleep
Feels like, dreams or dreams
A choice, this or that
Time for you or time to sleep
Feels like, dreams or dreams
Getting time to myself or getting enough sleep. It’s one or the other.
Dug out a grinder I got given. Not the fastest but good enough.
Who am I to not let the kids help?!
Just got back from a Royal Rumble viewing with some people from work.
Was good fun. I like watching professional wrestling but was good to do it with other people.
Did some running because I don’t like it and that is why I did it. Tried to keep up with Helen and couldn’t. It was fun!
“This would be a cool place to come and work!”
We caught ourselves saying that today and realised that we should come to do something for us.
Our first no work-work club will be meeting soon!
Name and location to be confirmed.
gone away, away
i’ve come back down and settled
like sand in the sea
I remember reading about meditation being like letting mud, or was it sand, settle in water so that things become clear again. I’ve always carried that with me.
Coming away yesterday without the kids, having some time, not feeling stressed or letting anxiety muddy the water has been, nice, lovely, just what I didn’t realise I needed.
If this isn’t nice.
Hot Pot!
No taxis, it’s ok
I’ve had a drink, feeling fine
This man will take us!
We’ve gone away but couldn’t get a Didi (Uber), I mean we found one but he didn’t show up in the app so he wouldn’t take us. A shopkeeper overheard us and he took us for an inflated, for China, rate.
Deb from Napoleon Dynamite…
Our initials…
I prefer YELO though I think.
We had a conversation before Yumo was born that if his initial was V our collective initials would spell LOVE but it never happened.
Today in parenting.
Most stuff is trial and error. Though somethings, in hindsight, seem obvious.
Like not letting the kids run around just after eating. I’m not sure Lyra appreciated me laughing as we cleaned up vomit in the shopping centre.
Live and learn!
What’s your reasoning behind such a long passcode for your phone? Security?
Of a sort. My daughter learned my 4 digit and then it was kind of an arms race.
We do some more reading.
After losing his leg to cancer as a young adult, Jon Wilson struggled with feeling broken. Challenging himself in the outdoors presented a possible remedy. Today, crutching up and skiing down mountains at night provides a distinct backdrop for Jon to explore, accept, and embrace the idea of “brokenness,” allowing him to find a more sincere, vulnerable and honest connection with life.
It’s ok to be broken. After all, the real power of being broken is knowing you can survive it again.
This brought tears to my eyes.
I broke in my own way in my early twenties. As he says,
And while I would never wish it on anyone, I would never trade in my scars,
Yup.
Without what I experienced I wouldn’t be the me I am today. The me I am, mostly, proud to be.
I’m watching Ted Lasso again.
I pay for Apple Music and also 200gb of storage. If I subscribe to One Family do I then need to cancel my storage as well?
The funny thing is all I ever wanted I already had
There’s glimpses of heaven in every day
In the friends that I have, the music I made
The love that I feel, I just had to start again
Hospital for souls - Bring me the horizon
Neither of us was 100% on Monday but back on it today! 1minute cardio (run/bike) 1 minute rest but I started a minute later.
No idea of metrics just tried to work hard.
Team Consistent!
Hey! This is your Trance Thursday reminder for tomorrow. Maybe let’s do a theme tomorrow? Favourite old track? Favourite new? Favourite mix? Maybe?
Feeling fitter, happier and more productive today.
Such a change. The difference is so noticeable.
If you tell the kids you’re going to do something, then do it, otherwise don’t say it. I hope it’s not just us, as parents, that often fail in this.
“Fine. No more tv/iPad/toys/fun/toast for the rest of your life.”
The last weekend, wasn’t great, and Lyra said no tv/screen time for the week*. And you know what, it’s not been so bad. It’s only been two days but we’ve stuck with it and I commented to Lyra that maybe we should stick with it… Funny, how it’s turned out really.
*When the grandparents come doesn’t count.
So curly at the moment!
