Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I put the long 'un in the wrong 'un once. Best weekend of my life.

In which SomeGuyFromScotland follows.

Here, but currently unsure if I'll be playing along or peanutting again. Things are things. And stuff.

Outstanding!

I should stop taking forum holidays.

I am alive, kinda. In the midst of some stuff that needs to be dealt with. I shall return. Keep the faith, True Believers.

Gratitude I am grateful for things which make me laugh. I am grateful for spending time with my son. I am grateful for getting out of my own headspace. The Wolverine didn't sleep well on Monday night, which translated into me also not sleeping well. He did have a nasty cold, and while it probably didn't strictly merit him taking yesterday off school, I'll hold my hands up and admit to not fighting him too hard on it as it gave me the perfect opportunity to take a much-needed "sick" day myself. We went back to bed, slept in, and then spent the day on the couch watching The Simpsons - I used to be a massive Simpsons fan, but fell away over the last few years, so I have multiple seasons to catch up on. I'd actually forgotten how much I enjoy it, and was pleasantly surprised that I still do. I regret nothing. Back to reality this morning.

Gratitude I am grateful for starting fresh this morning. I am grateful for the continued support of my friends on here. I am grateful for a warm bed on a cold morning. Bit of a rough weekend, in terms of headspace. Maybe it's just the onset of winter, the darker mornings, but I'm definitely feeling more valley than mountain top right now. Need to just keep my head above water for the next few days until this passes.

Gratitude I am grateful for the weekend! I am grateful for sticking with the Walter White drawing when it started poorly. I am grateful for the bottle of wine liquid grape salad that's in my immediate future. Exercise has tailed off a little this week because neck. I'm trying to walk more to compensate. Eating has been poor because birthday cake and spiraling self-pity. On the plus side, though, still no energy drinks. Just need to get the eating back under control. Loved the time spent drawing and Red Wristbanding last night, and I'm really happy with how the pic turned out. One of my favourites so far. SWFS and I are currently binge-watching Ray Donovan. How have I not seen this before? This weekend, I think I'm going to look at wallpapers and a new colour scheme for the living room. Time to freshen it up for Christmas, I think.

Love the notebook!

There's some bonus creativity, but the forum is being bitchy and not letting me post it here. Say. My. Name.

Gratitude I am grateful for sushi. I am grateful for a couple of hours of Red Wristbanding. I am grateful for my awesome NF friends. Creativity: Hummingbird

*hugs* Cute kitties.

Well, if you're gonna feel like a turd, it might as well be a hot one. Also, something something breaching your body. I've missed our banter.

Gratitude I am grateful for time to be creative. I am grateful for being able to clear up some unpaid bills. I am grateful for chicken and hot sauce. Having a stiff neck day. I'm hoping it's just the way I've been sleeping, and not a recurrence of the issues I've been having. There's a hot bath in my future. Did a little artwork last night, messing around with ink and watercolour combinations. I'll post a pic either tonight or tomorrow. I like being able to try different things, and I'm enjoying working with pencils and pens again. It takes me back to when I used to draw a lot. Still no energy drinks, but there has been birthday cake over the last couple of days. No regrets.

I think that would be best. Yes. It's made from grapes. Grapes are fruit. Therefore, wine = salad. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to make sure I get my 5 a day. A portion = 1 bottle, right?

You already know the "risking a Wolverine" story, and how I was faced with the choice of giving up red wine or having my nuts shaved by Nurse Saucy McHotstuff.

Gratitude I am grateful for seeing the Wolverine turn 9. I am grateful for not beating myself up about eating some birthday cake. I am grateful for the new season of Heartland. I am grateful for SWFS' student loan finally coming through. So my youngest is now in his last year of single digits. Cat's in the cradle feels. No gym last night, as we were having family time as planned, but I turned in a lunchtime 1.8 mile powerwalk, so I'm counting that as 1 of my 3 cardios for the week. SWFS is volunteering tonight, so I'll be having some 1-on-1 time with the birthday boy.

Good times with the fam. Well played, sir.

Gratitude I am grateful for managing to avoid a crash on the way to work this morning. I am grateful for seeing my beautiful daughter turn 15. I am grateful for making good memories with my family over the weekend.

Gratitude I am grateful for my new sketchpad. I am grateful for a nice dinner and bottle of wine. I am grateful for seeing the Wolverine happy with his new penny board. Creativity: Drawing #1

Gratitude I am grateful for beating the queue for STONE ROSES 2017 TICKETS! I am grateful for a dinner date with SWFS tonight. I am grateful for the continued opportunity to be able to treat my kids. So. Damn. Excited. Tickets for Stone Roses at Hampden Park went on sale at 9.30, and I got mine at the first attempt. I've gone back and checked my account three times just to make sure, because I can't believe it was that easy. While there was something special about seeing them in Manchester, I'm kinda looking forward to this one more, as I won't have the 400+ mile round trip to make. PLEASING. No energy drinks, but I had a 2-finger KitKat last night. Gotta rein that in.
