The things that make you Happy

Well I'm up with the larks this morning, which is a good thing because I have a lot to fit in. I declared yesterday a 'Do what makes you happy first Day', so often I do all the things I have to or need to do first and end up with 10 minutes just before I go to bed to fit in anything that I really 'wanted' to do. I finished typing up and checking my book and it has now been sent off to be proofread, I also replied to a few emails which had been waiting for ages - needless to say running or cycling didn't feature among the things which 'made me happy' so, along with all the boring and mundane jobs still outstanding, they didn't get done either. In fact after my amazing realisations following the little bike ride last weekend and despite all my good intentions I haven't run or cycled at all for the whole week!.

Jan arrives later on today ready for another trek in the morning, oh what fun it will be - not!.

My week peaked on Wednesday when Discord started again following a lengthy break, I was a bit undecided about going back thinking this might be the time to stop but I'm so glad that I didn't. It is always such a laugh and so much fun to pretend that I can sing for an hour or two!. The rest of my week was not a lot of fun, it was just work and work I'm sad to say does not make me happy at all, the end of year is always manic and this year with all the government changes has been absolutely awful. As if that wasn't enough we are all suddenly required to go into the office for no apparent reason making us feel uneasy and unsettled about the future, as if we weren't all uneasy and unsettled about the future enough!. I have just checked my lottery tickets in the vain hope that I wouldn't have to go in again at all but unfortunately it looks as though I will be there for at least another week. I do lay awake for many hours wondering how I can get across to my children just how unfulfilled and stuck you can feel when you do a job you really don't enjoy. I think I'm making progress with Madi but there is still work to do with the boys. I just hope they get it before it's too late.

Anyway, it's now around 6.30, time for a bit of ironing I think.
