I think I've failed on being 'mindful'... I've been so busy with other stuff I've hardly had time to try and focus on a friggin clock ticking, or anything else for that matter!
Maybe listening to music counts! Cos I do find that relaxing.
Once I've had my appointment I shall be heading home to do some washing, it's piling up. And the weather is supposed to take a turn towards rain at some point this week, so I better get it done before then.
And that is all I have for now! Catch ya later.
ONWARD...
***HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BEX!***
1.07 pm: well an interesting morning ... Dr visit went OK. Not sure it's helping much.
After that I went and bought some fabric for cushions to match my new flower painting in the lounge. I'm really happy with the fabric I found. I'll show you later.
Then I went to St Lukes for the hell of it... had lunch then decided to visit Steve and Bex. Only they were not home... so I left.
Just around the corner from Steve and Bex's home I got snarled up in a funeral procession... of a BLACK POWER member. So I had to crawl along with dozens of gang members on their motorbikes, AND the deceased person in his black coffin, which was on the back of a motorbike! I was only about 3 cars behind all the bikes and coffin. It wasn't a very nice feeling I can tell you!
When we got to some lights, they all drove through, after they blocked the intersection with their bikes. I stopped and they all streamed around me. I was kinda intimidated, but they were OK about it.
Now that I'm home I am going to relax... YES. I. AM.
It's been an interesting evening. And bloody hot. Birthday cake too!

ReplyDeleteHas Stew been busy?? Only joking but is a beautiful house
Happy Birthday Bex
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for an offer on your house from the people that visited yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Bex :)
Oh that would have been scary with all those bikes
ReplyDeleteHaha... did you get a photo? I've never seen a coffin on a bike. Funny in a weird sort of way considering it was a funeral :)
ReplyDeleteI know I'm a 'shutter bug' but even I know where to draw the line! I couldn't think of a quicker way to get my windscreen smashed in and my camera smashed in me face! Remember, I was surrounded by mob members on motorbikes! Not to mention it would have been rather disrespectful to take a photo. So ... NO, I didn't take a photo. *lol*
ReplyDeleteOMG, I didn't think of that! Of course you didn't take a photo... I wouldn't have either :)
DeleteHey Diet Coke! I understand your reluctance in not taking that photo. What a weird situation! What was I going to say? Oh - I know. I, once in a while, took a nap after I got my kid off to school. It is strangely relaxing not having anyone in the house and being able to sleep and not worry about anything. So, my advice - sleep while they are at school once in a while and don't worry one tiny bit about it! Take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Bex. Hope you have had a nice day Bex. I can just picture you amongst all the bikes and the black coffin Chris. Certainly an experience! Hope you managed a relaxing afternoon.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Bex :-).
ReplyDeleteWould have been freaky surrounded by the bikes but kinda thrilling at the same time I would imagine. A photo would have been awesome but not good for ones health I imagine.
Rest as much as you can and maybe get out for a short walk each day, just to get some fresh air and get the endorphins working.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes I got very spoilt and my cake was definatly a hit ☺a lovely choc cake with banofie bites ontop made by me lol
ReplyDeleteBex xXxX
Sounds like that was a big surreal!
ReplyDelete*bit
DeleteHa yes gangs intimidate fullstop hundreds on noisy bikes yeah nah bro! Hope Bex had a lovely day. Funny thing about counseling psychologists you may feel like iits not working then boom it sneaks up on you and you start to think different react different, I agree sleep/rest where and when you can and just drift......
