I think I’ll just go back to bed

[limberlou]

Well what a disastrous start to the day. First I overslept, fully intended to go to bed early and then got caught up with my latest crochet project. I’ve never done anything fancy -just granny squares and then my daughter showed me shell stitch and I’ve done 3 blankets in that and this week I saw a YouTube video tutorial in a Virus Stitch and Granny shawl and I’m doing that. See pic. I got so caught up in it that I stayed up late and consequently woke up late.

Then I remembered I had a Hygjenist appt at 10.20 so knew it had to be a short run anyway. It was only 20 mins but just as well as I could not breathe even though I’d done both inhalers before I left the house. So it was an uneventful trot, no PBs, no wildlife -just round the block and in and out of an adjacent estate and home again. I’ll do better tomorrow I promise 🙄.

Then I walked briskly home, hopped in the shower, washed hair and nearly passed out blow drying it... so hot already! And off I went to the dentist surgery. On the way I suddenly had a recollection of my son asking me to follow him to the garage so that he could leave his van for MOT and I could give him a lift back to work..... tried ringing him and got no answer so sent an apologetic text and carried on. Then I remembered I hadn’t put the green recycling box and bags out. Could this day get any worse ?

Yes it could!!! I got to the dentist in time and told the receptionist I was there. She looked at the screen, asked my name again...first line of address ? “ I’m sorry, your appointment is tomorrow morning”. Oh for #%^* sake!!! “ ok see you tomorrow same time and place”.🥵😡

So then I get outside and see the text from my son “ don’t forget you’re picking me up from MOT on Friday will you?” Doh!!!

So I thought I’m sure there was something I was doing today. Oh I know!! I was meeting Gemma this morning” so I tried to ring her and got no answer . Carried on home thinking recycling men will have been and I’ve missed the boat. Then when I got my street there wasn’t a green box in sight and I thought surely not everyone will have taken theirs back in? And as I let myself into my house it dawned on me.... ITS WEDNESDAY!!!

😤😤😤. Thats it!! Official senile!! But Gemma DID ring me back and we have arranged for lunch tomorrow ( she’s buying me belated birthday lunch) and if i have an early night tomorrow I can get a decent run in before hygienist tomorrow.

But for now I’m in a heap under a large tabby cat, still far too hot, but relaxing 🥴

hahahaah, wonderful, it's not senility, it's a momentary disconnection with reality

and you still got your run in, so that's great! pat yourself on the back and love on the cat, tomorrow will be better (I think tomorrow is Thursday, if that helps )

Well at least I didn’t MISS my appointment. Or The recycling men either. 😁

Oh LL, I don’t mean to laugh at your expense, but 😅🤣😅🤣😅

Classic morning! It happens to us all. 😅 Enjoy your lovely tabby cat and here’s hoping the rest of the day is uneventful! ❤️

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

😂😂😂just got your days mixed up easily done 😊

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10]

It's just one of those days! I'm loving your shawl! So pretty. It reminds me that I have one I started a couple years ago that is still sitting unfinished in my closet. Perhaps I should pull it back out and finish it... finally 🤔

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

I started this on Sunday night to take to my Knit/Crochet group on Monday then forgot that I had stuff to do with No2 son Monday afternoon. Nearly finished it now.

I’m usually a knitter but I am waiting for a specific ball of wool to come in for the rib and cuffs of the cardigan I want to start for me. And I have a pair of socks on the go too.

Can’t stand idle hands as they tend to shovel stuff in my mouth if they are empty too long. 🙄

My mum tried to teach me to knit...it didn't go well. Then a friend tried to show me how to knit as an adult....it didn't go well. I'll stick to crochet 😂

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

My mum said nowadays they’d have said I was hyperactive,in those days I was just a bl**dy little ***#!! I only used to sleep about 3-4 hours a night. So when I was 3 she taught me to read and then to knit, which calmed me down somewhat and kept me busy making dolls clothes. I taught my boys when they were 5 or 6 and they made action men clothes. But my daughter could not get to grips with it till she was 27. Now she knits, sews and recently crochets all the time. She taught herself the last 2.

I am glad I am not the only one who has days like that limberlou. I’ve turned up at the hairdresser and the Drs too early and missed other appointments. I think it must be an age thing (in my case). I keep a candle in my phone too.

Lovely crochet - it’s many years since I got the crochet hook out. Too warm to do it now though - a winter sport 😂

Good luck with your run tomorrow. 🏃‍♀️🤞

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I sit in the garden in the shade and crochet/ knit while I read my book. Or open all my windows and do it while I watch tv in the evenings

[skysue16 Graduate10]

Oh dear, I feel for you 😕

[lexi6 Graduate10]

Thats so pretty limberlou. What a day you had it did make me laugh, but you still had a run and chilling out with the cat would have been quite calming after all that. Phew!

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Thanks
