A Negative Influence

Wotcha, Tumblr. Been a while. Book of Arthur Rackham illustrated fairytales I picked up in a charity shop last week. My book collection is an increasing majority of fairytales, and Poe. As you do.

The A1 this morning.

Woo, bike finally back from its service, all roadworthy and ready to go :)

No photo today because I couldn't think of a way to represent it, but, you can't get much happier than something you thought was a serious health issue turning out to be nothing at all to worry about. Absolute relief, leaving my headspace clear for other things. Onwards :)

Day 020 Mainsgill Farm shop for lunch, a walk and the purchase of black pudding based tasty. And pie. Much pie.

Day 019 Watching a local burlesque performance :)

Day 018 First surprise stationary through the post from my sister, and then the beer occurred :D

Day 017 Actually it's been a pretty good day overall. But I went and joined the leisure centre gym, did my first workout (woohoo, lung capacity!) and then was utterly overjoyed by the fact that my ancient desk fan still works upon returning home to an oven like room ;)

Day 016 Full kettle bell workout complete. Achey but feeling positive and energised. Going to be making an effort to do this everyday even if it's only a shortened version of the workout. Also, some days I'm finding it's impossible to take an actual photo of the thing making me happy, so a representation shall have to suffice!

Day 015 Crafting! Some tshirt surgery and sewing patches to old jeans.

Day 014 After about 3 weeks of feeling vaguely sleep deprived, today finally broke it. Enough sleep = mind feeling back on form = creativity influx. Sat down to work out a plan for the handful of things that have been worrying me, so everything feels more manageable now. Plus, sitting and writing that had the side effect of some great story and article ideas and I've made some headway with my might-become-a-novel timeline. Feeling very positive overall :)

Day 013 Two complete weeks of not smoking. Starting to wind down on use of the lozenges, and just use the e-cig now. Cherry and vanilla mix. Hoping to not feel the need for that either in a couple of months time, though. Managed a day drinking yesterday without wanting to smoke, so that's a huge step :)

Day 012 Beer festival, new pub discovery then drinks with friends.

Day 011 Boyfriend has loaned me his guitar and amp. Excited about playing again :D

Day 010 Another 2lb off this week. Unexpected, since there have been several cake related incidents. But no beer and more walking probably explains it.
