More below ❤️ x _________________________ Hi, its Friday, 1.30pm. Bronze is back from her walk with the other dogs, and I will give her a bath soon once shes finished her dinner! Ive had a slow morning, been feeling kind of down unsure why. Maybe work going slower than i hoped (business work) I have a lot to get on with though, website build and application edits. I just cant be bothered with them today. Im also really tired and worn out. Anyway, weightlifting yesterday..... it was so good!!!! Its in the trainers own garage,....she has a whiteboard on the wall with polaroids of each client and their PB for squat, DL, overhead press and bench press!!! Fairy lights, radio on, just a lovely welcoming space. She was very lovely too. Kind and encouraging. She said i have very good form, even though ive never done it before....! I enjoyed it a lot. And going back next week in between these sessions i will be doing Kettlebell exercises at home and walking Bronze in the week. I have slight DOMS today, mainly thighs. But felt really good xx 6 2 Quote Link to comment

I cant really remember much? But i watched three great films. Late night with the Devil - excellent, creepy, strange. Fallen Leaves - slow paced but brilliant. Finnish film. The Hypnosis - absolutely fantastic. Loved this so much. Swedish film. I also read, i ate and drank good stuff. And i walked Bronze twice. Sundays walk was 90 mins in the rain, gorgeous walk through the woods next to a nature reserve. Also football of course, some good games to watch. All in all, it was fine. good in parts and also had anxiety other times. xx 5 1 Quote Link to comment

Salinger Posted September 24 Author Report Share Posted September 24 Hey all Had a little crash mentally this afternoon. Made a big fruit salad which was tasty. Had two glasses of water. Cup of tea. Shower. Etc But some negative thoughts creeping around. However I SUBMITTED my funding application. For reference these usually take around 2 months to write. But last week I just thought I'd apply and I wrote it and submitted it in 4 days. It's bloody good as well. 8 weeks till decision. May be a knock back but if so I will just edit it with feedback and reapply. It's research money so.....no big event is relying on it so I'm as relaxed as is possible when you're low income hahah Going to roxys dad's in an hour. It was her sisters 18th yesterday. It's always a bit stressful depending on roxys mood. She is either fine or she doesn't bother at all with friendliness. It's difficult because her dad really has messed her up from childhood but I always try to keep the peace. Then home and footy and I may watch a film later. Another crazy busy day tomorrow. Just trying to keep level headed. X 5 Quote Link to comment
Salinger Posted September 25 Author Report Share Posted September 25 Hey all. Todays been a little difficult mood wise. I am desperate to do nothing. To have a relaxing bath, a lie down, a rest....to read and drink tea. I have. ALOT to do I need to clean the kitchen and spare room (Jackson's litter and food station) and do laundry. etc etc It is 2.30pm. I could possibly do the cleaning till 3.15, then have a day bath and a read whilst drying off, cream on, do hair. Then at 4.30, nip out for milk, loo roll and something for dinner. Then just do some work until 6.30pm then RELAX. But but but. Lots of voices in my head today. Making things hard Im so tired xx 3 Quote Link to comment

Salinger Posted September 29 Author Report Share Posted September 29 Hey all Sunday eve 8.30pm. Been OK weekend. Not done much so feel a bit guilty. Last night had roxys two friends round - they also my friends now ofc. Was fun. Today has been slow and this eve I feel sad. It's my birthday tomorrow. Nothing planned. I miss being out and drinking. I miss drinking with my friends. I miss all that. I feel lonely tonight if I'm honest. Lonely and sad. I miss my dad. And I'm bored of saying that. I have a lot of work to do but I can't make myself do anything. I just feel like curling into a ball and disappearing. I've come up and lying on the bed. Jackson is with me. I've cried. And I may read a bit. Or I don't know. Sleep. How depressing. Birthday tmoro and I'm going to bed at half 8. 2 Quote Link to comment
