FIRST TME I FORGOT!

 

I have been on Trulicity for 6 weeks.

And on Tuesday night I forgot to take my dose.  First time I've done that.

I remembered last night, so hopefully taking it 24 hours late won't matter, just once.

I had used my 'Weight Watchers' night to remind me to take it.  But now that I'm no longer going to Weight Watchers, I forgot it.

I will have to set an alarm now I suppose.

BTW, I've lost about 3 kilos since I started taking Trulicity, so that's great!

I am looking forward to the first three months being up, so I can increase the dose.  I feel like it works well for the first 3-4 days, then it wears off.

Bearing in mind, it really is mostly up to your own motivation and determination to succeed.

We can all eat for reasons other than hunger.  I know I do.

But, I'm working hard to change my shitty habits. (What a twat!  I've been saying that for over 40 years!)

My tasks for today?

Get brutal with cleaning out the two front bedroom's wardrobes.  I have lots of craft stuff in them, and Christmas stuff.

Obviously I will be keeping the Christmas stuff.  But a lot of the craft stuff is going out.  I don't have the time or motivation to do much except sewing now.

I have an FBG walk on this evening, so that will work in well with taking Stew to the pub, and getting back in time to pick him up again.

Right, let's get a move on.  

ONWARD...

ABOVE:  Fresh outta the box.  The new bedroom light fitting!

I chose a larger one, so that it covers the large circle that will be left on the ceiling, once the existing fan/light is removed.

It can have it's brightness changed from warm light to bright light.  We prefer bright light.

All the downlights in the house are set on bright light.

Stew likes it very much.  I am happy to have just chosen SOMETHING!  

I really don't like too much choice, and yesterday while looking at all the choices, I really did feel like I would never make up my mind.

Talking to the salesman certainly helped narrow it down.

AND it was on Sale, I got it super cheap!  Like SUPER CHEAP. I saved between $300 - $400 by NOT buying the blingy light fitting.  That money can now go towards the electricians bill. 

9.30 am.  While I've not yet got to the wardrobes, I have been busy!

I moved some paintings around!

With the second china cabinet out of the lounge, it meant I could move Stew's lounge chair further back towards the corner of the room.

It made the room less cluttered.  I also took the two lazy boy chairs from the other end of the lounge, and put them in the sunroom, and put the smaller, two seater back in the lounge.

THEN I looked at the large wall in the lounge and decided it needed the BIG shell painting back in there.

So...  shit got moved!

ABOVE:  Chairs now in the sunroom, which looks fantastic with less furniture in it now.

ABOVE: The two seater BACK in the lounge!  I don't know how many times I've moved that particular piece of furniture!  The mind boggles.  Yours probably does too.

ABOVE:  The lounge now, with less furniture, and the big shell painting back in it.

It is SCREAMING at me to be moved about 3 inches to the right!!!  I will get to it.  YES, I know, I'm damn fussy.

ABOVE:  I am not 100% sold on the flower painting being there yet.  It might grow on me. OR, I might even switch the cow painting to there?  

And the flower one to where the cow is? 

MEH... it can wait.

I'm now off to sort out the wardrobes.

TEN.  MINUTES.  LATER.....   I BET Stew read this and said to himself "She won't wait".

ABOVE:  100% correct!

I did move those two around... and it looks much, much better now.

As for the big shell painting, it is waiting.  I'm literally done in already!

ABOVE:  I'm about half way through the first wardrobe, and I'm DONE IN.

If I want to have the energy to do tonight's walk, I need to stop now.

It can wait till tomorrow.

My deaf neighbour's dog... is now being left outside while she's out.

She asked me if he barks much when she's out?

I said, YES, but it's not too bad.

WELL, I lied.

He barks non-stop.  And now he's outside, he's LOUDER than when he was locked inside.

And she goes out pretty much every day.  Sometimes just for an hour or two, and sometimes ALL DAY.

There's NO POINT saying a damn thing, as he is not loud enough to call the Noise Control people. It's just enough to drive me insane. 

I'm really sad about this, because I had to put up with the exact same thing from our neighbour's dog in Cambridge as well. 

My dogs bark like crazy beasts sometimes too, but ONLY when there is someone coming onto the property usually. No one can complain about Coco and Marley.

And as I am typing this, the damn dog shuts up.  Maybe she came home?  Silence... ahhhh.

God I'd love a Nana Nap right now.  But I can't, as the buyers of the Wooden Bookcase are picking it up 'this afternoon'.  Just my luck I'd fall asleep and they knock on the door. *sigh*

8.21 pm:  I just arrived home from my FBG Walk in Cambridge.  Certainly a VERY COLD, CRISP evening to be out walking in the dark!

I was in me leggings and t-shirt and the other walkers were surprised I wasn't rugged up like everyone else.  But as I explained, I will warm up really fast so don't need a hat, jacket and gloves etc.  And I did warm up.

But now that I'm home, I'm bloody freezing!  Eeee gads we will have a frost in the morning for sure.

Probably no walk photo tonight... if there is one posted tomorrow I'll share then.

Now I'm off to have something for me dinner, then settle down to watch the telly till bedtime.

Catch ya tomorrow.
