Live Brave

  • Saturday has turned out to be a pretty busy and long day.  I am so glad that I remember to take photos through it - or at least through out most of it.

    07:45 | Saturday mornings are my early mornings as I like to hit the grocery store before the day 
                begins for most other people.  My alarm was set to go off at 6am however it didn't go off 
                today - I must have shut it down before it had fully synced. 

    08:10 | Although I have a grocery store just five minutes from my house, I much prefer to make the 
                twenty minute drive to Asda.  I have been shopping here since I arrived in England I just like
                it - what more can I say!


    10:05 | Just heading out to weigh in and Smidge decides to climb the tree in the front yard and then
                got stuck. Crying pitifully for me to get him down, I had to stretch on my tippy-toes to
                reach him and bring him to safety.


    10:33 | Weigh in results where that I had stayed the same. That is the second week in a row and I was
                feeling pretty disappointed about it.  Staying for the meeting didn't make me feel any better
                but I know that it is good that I stayed despite how I felt.


    14:45 | Wohoo! The 1st of the month means Ali Edwards sends out the months One Little Word
                prompt and video. Due to studying for my exams I haven't done any work on this since July
                however I decided to start with November, as it is the freshest in my mind, and then work my
                way back.  This is the first year that I have done One Little Word and I have really enjoyed it.
                I will be signing up for 2015.  The tree experience obviously knocked the life out Smidge as
                he was fast asleep next to me.


    16:45 | My dad turns 60 on Saturday and so my parents are going to Venice for a few days to
                celebrate. My brother and I decided to give them some Euros towards the trip so I nipped to
                town to pick up some currency.  On the walk back to the car, I noticed that the moon was out
                and I couldn't resist stopping to take a photo.


    17:22 | Quickly filling out my Dad's birthday card before heading over to my parents for dinner.


    20:42 | Mom was so kind and after dinner she gave me a back massage. My shoulder is still giving
                loads of problems and hopefully her magic fingers will have done the trick by tomorrow
                morning.

    Another day from this week is over with. It always amazes me just how fast each day is becoming yesterday.  My intention on Friday was to take more pictures and I did. Here is what my Friday looked like.

    07:50 | Fridays pretty much always mean a bit more of a lay in compared to any of the other week 
                day mornings. I always set my alarm for 8am, however I don't ever need it to wake me.

    09:30 | Fridays tend to be my teleconference day which allows me to work from home. My first one
                of the day was at 10am so I quickly got in a bit of breakfast before the call began.  I was never
                much of a crumpet eater but they are slowly becoming my favourite meal.


    13:10 | Some new clothes have arrived and they are hanging up to be tried on later. I have purchased
                so many new clothes this month that I really need to stop now!


    14:30 | As it turns out I ran out of milk so needed to make a quick stop at the local grocery store
                down the road from my house. While I was out I decided to stop and pick up some cat food
                for Smidge.

    16:05 | Work is finally finished for the week but now the house chores begin. I normally wouldn't
                 showcase my dirty dishes but this is what my kitchen looked like and I wanted to keep things
                 real, as they say.


    17:35 | All the house chores are done for the day so I decided to take a ten minute tea break before
                making a start on my next task.  This little guy wanted my attention and wouldn't take no for
                an answer........although how could I possibly say no to this cute little face.


    18:20 | I wasn't feeling very hungry but had taken out salmon fillets so decided to cook them and
                some pumpkin.  It didn't look very pretty but it sure did taste delicious!

    19:46 | Friday evenings are always food menu prep and shopping list creating.  This weeks shopping
                list is not very long but I bet that a lot more things will end up sneaking into my shopping
                cart Saturday morning.


    20:15 | My back muscles have gotten even worse through the day so I think another hot bath is in
                order to try to release the muscles.  Its times like this that I wish I didn't live alone.

    20:45 | I decided to turn off the TV for the evening and spend some time doing something else.  I was
                flitting between climbing into bed with my Kindle or catching up on my August One Little
                Word 2014 prompts.

    Thursday has come and gone and we have officially passed the half way mark of Week In The Life 2014.  Yesterday was not a great day for taking photos - for some reason it wasn't until about 5pm that I got my camera out for the day. I must do better today.

    06:15 | I didn't have a very good nights sleep. I must have done something to my right shoulder as I
                woke up several times during the night to reposition myself because my shoulder muscle was
                aching so much.  When the alarm went off at 6:15, getting up was the last thing I felt like
                doing.

    06:31 | I eventually got out of bed!

    08:10 | Thursday's work day was at my local office. Traffic was a little heavier than normal and I
                 arrived later than I had hoped. We have had a major move around in the office ( I think I
                 mentioned this on Mondays post ) but I managed to find a hotdesk next to a friend which
                 made the morning go by much quicker.

    10:23 | It's the first month I had to produce slides for the business review pack and I really struggled.
                I spent ages trying to get words down and eventually just had to go with what I thought was
                right.

    12:35 | During my lunch break I nipped out and stopped to put air in my tyres.  I had been meaning
                to do this for a few days now and finally got around to it.  While doing my last two tyres, a
                very nice guy came over to help me.

    12:57 | Before heading home I needed to return a top to Evans.

    17:10 | Work was finally over and my shoulder was so sore that I couldn't find a comfortable
                position so I headed upstairs to take a really hot bubble bath to try to relax and sooth the
                sore muscle.  


    18:00 | Thursday evenings are going to be my #metime for the rest of the year and this week I 
                 decided that I wanted to do two things. Firstly, do some creating on my journal and secondly,
                 listen to Andy Stanley's Guardrail series, in particular the one with reference to finances.


    20:00 | One of the things that I want to do by the end of 2014 is have my budget and finances sorted.
                 I want a clear and precise plan for 2015 and therefore found this brilliant online tool on 
                 moneysupermarket.  I spent time doing the groundwork for it and will plan to finish this up
                 over the coming weeks.

    21:00 | I love painting my nails and aim to do it every week to week and a half.  I have been loving 
                the colour purple lately so thought that I would fish out this polish and treat my hands.
