Day 33

A reasonably good start to the day. I had a weird dream about being in Germany and eating in some restaurant, and being unable to find any vegan meals hehe. Then the alarm went off just as I was eating something which was vegetarian I think, but not vegan, because it was all they had. Of course, one of the kids was up before me and I opened the bedroom door and in came cats, and there was no more sleep for me!

Went on another good long ride this morning, the weather is warming up again so I had a fair bit of sweat by the end of it, while my riding friend wasn't even panting... I really need to get fitter ;) I mean, I know I AM fitter than I was, definitely, I can now make it up all the hills without having to get off and walk, BUT I've still got a fair way to go. Ahh well, every step I take in the right direction is one step further to reaching my goals.

Today will be busy busy busy... I have to finish this manuscript I'm working on, and that means FINISH. It's Friday, and I want next week CLEARED completely. I also want to wash the floors today, they especially need it as someone spilled cordial and there are sticky patches around about the place. I need to go shopping this afternoon (probably, although it may be able to wait until Monday as I think we have enough stuff to last the weekend...and the less I go shopping, quite frankly, the better), and when the kids are home from school I need to take the younger two to buy some runners, I also need to buy a present for my youngest son to take to a party tomorrow (if I have time tonight...or I'll have to take him tomorrow after basketball), then the kids have swimming, and after swimming I have to take them back to school for Family Fun Night and THEN one of the kids' friends is coming back to our place because his parents will be out late, and probably won't be getting him until 10 or so. Phew! A nap wouldn't go astray somewhere in there ;)

Tomorrow will be another busy one with basketball as well as a birthday party to take my youngest son to. At least basketball doesn't start too early so I can sleep in a bit hehe.

Well, I will now get back to work because, as I said I need it done TODAY and it's already 11am. Foodwise, well all I've had so far is my morning yummy smoothie. For lunch I'll have a couple of pieces of fruit, and tea will be interesting as they're having a BBQ at the school, and obviously I can't have any of it! I'll probably duck home and get something else to eat hehe (it's handy that school's right next door).

Phew! It's just past 8:30 and kids are home. I made myself a vegan burger for tea, but had it in two bits of toast with sauce, and didn't eat anything else raw or healthy! (I did have a couple of apricots prior to taking kids swimming, but that was more "lunch" than anything else). I also had a cup of tea with honey in it today (bad me). Well, overall not too bad, I suppose. I mean, last year I'd have many days where I'd eat utter utter crap. Compared to that I'm going BRILLIANTLY! Yay me ;)
