Perfect choice

Slept ok, after my two hot toddies……not so good as hubs, but they went down ok. Woke just after 7, lazed a good while, heard the rain, then the bin men, then the neighbours up and about. 

Went downstairs to make a lemsip, felt a bit groggy, but soon came around, had a chat with daughter, she suggested i brought my milk in….she had popped round early and left me some flowers on the doormat……they are now in my vase, mixed perfectly with what is still good from the bouquet my neighbours gave me before  Christmas, as you can see here.

I was just sat here looking at the tree, thinking how pretty they all looked, so that became todays blip. 

After my lemsip I had a toasted bagel, couldnt taste it very much, a bit cardboard like :-/ then got showered, did my hair, felt a bit more alive lol. 

Have caught up with sis, sis in law, daughter, and both sons today….all checking Im ok of course. Had a quick chicken salad for my lunch….got on the scales this morning, rather alarming!!!! Really need to do something now, including dumping the remaining,  cake, chocolates and biscuits!! 

It was pouring down as I left to go for my PCR test, booked for 1.30…….so much surface water everywhere!  Felt a bit like a pariah, drove up, lower your window 2 inches, take the pack, park up, do the test, needed to read the instructions as I haven't done one before, car windows steaming up, glasses steaming up, put your hazards on when you've finished, scan the code, drive up to the bin, drop the test bag in…….doesnt help improve how you feel does it :-/  I was informed I should get my result tomorrow. 

Had a quick drive thru for a Costa, kept my mask firmly in place, then came straight home, saw D&E nextdoor briefly, through the window, asked if I needed anything.  Then I settled down to watch an Anthony Hopkins film, that I hadnt seen, before, Shadowlands, little did I know……ended up bawling my eyes out!!!  Wouldnt have watched it had I know!  Next I watched The Remains of the Day, pretty sad too……..and after my tea tonight, which was just scrambled eggs, beans, bacon and toast, I watched a “nice” Christmas film, even that had me in tears by the end lol!!  Currently Judy is on….seen it before, Zene Z is really good in it!  Cant remember the last time I sat around and just watched one film after another! 

Mot a lot else I can do at the mo though…….not feeling bad or poorly though, so thankful for that. 
Not sure how Im gonna feel come tomorrow, the end of a horrible year, but the start of a new, but whole year on my own……….there has to be some positives, hope I can find them, or them me maybe.
