Happy Monday!

September is a struggle month, it’s the same month every year and every year I have to relearn how to be in September. Yesterday, I was talking to Sarah about how I’m coming to terms with life at the moment, Ma and I are working out the new dynamic to our relationship and I’m working out how to re-arrange my life with the circumstances. I’m doing that and coping with the autumn of it all!

At work, I’m booking things for Christmas already and we’re deep into planning for next year, it’s true time speeds up as you get older!

Right now, I’m not winning but I am holding life to a draw, which is pretty good for September. I very un-excitingly had to re-arrange my days in the office to Weds/Thurs for for the auditors. It’s weird but good for an audit team to be auditing, no one enjoys it but it gives us an understanding of what it’s like when the shoe is on the other foot, but I hope our guys are more organised..

I had a migraine on Friday, which is never a good time and on Saturday Ma and I had haircuts. We were both quite nervous about it but the only way to get over something is to do what makes you nervous and not being able to see past my fringe and getting to see Jane are good motivators! No mothers were harmed this time!

Post haircuts, we did Ma’s shopping and sorted out her new mattress. All good things. Not so good was the three hours it took me to get home! I spent the rest of the weekend sorting out the flat and the plot and as a consequence, threw my back out! I’m in my fifties, this is apparently what happens.

This week just as interesting.

Work, exercise and stretching are top of my list for back related reasons. The only plans I have are to get the ironing done, attend the allotment AGM on Thursday night and take Ma to the Farmers Market on Saturday.

Have a good week!
