Tired much!

-

 As I approach the end of another hard term, I have realised that I am tired. I don't know why I am so tired. I think it is because in the depths of my mind I have told my body that we are working for a certain amount of time and that's all I could cope with! Don't get me wrong, I am by no means soft, but I think that when you are working to a certain point, your body focuses on the end goal and can do no more than that. 

Thankfully this weekend, my wife and I are going shopping for a new mattress. It is much needed. We got our original one just after we got married 6 years ago. It came with the bed we bought and to be honest, it has never been the right one for us. I have finally accepted that we need a new one! I think 6 years is long enough for any mattress, but one that has never been right- it is long overdue!

I am hoping that after a couple of nights on the new mattress that I'll be somersaulting into work full of energy and I'll be able to reignite my flagging running career! Sleep is super important as we all know, so I think this will be an investment that will repay itself for years to come!

Fly Bite to the ear

 I keep titling these writings as 'a tiring day' which most of them are. I am absolutely exhausted and I just don't know how I will make it to the end of term. But I will- I will. Just take one day at a time like I normally do. Behaviour is getting alot more challenging to manage as the days go on. I want to change things up a bit but an still wary of covering all of the stuff that needs doing.   No walk for me tonight. I read my current book- Boy in the Tower by Polly Ho-Yen. It is a really interesting story about a boy battling several things as the book progresses. His mum seemingly is in the throws of a debilitating bout of depression and buildings all around his are falling to the ground, literally falling, and nobody can explain why. I've read alot of young persons' fiction recently. I enjoy reading them to be honest and I can use the books for reading next year too so it's a win win.  Summer seems to have been and gone- as the dourer of British people wil

Out for a walk

-
 Walking has become my daily activity. I feel it calms me down and gives me a great opportunity to listen to one of the many podcasts of which I am a fan of.  I can honest say I always feel one hundred percent better after a walk. I usually aim for approximately an hour’s walk which usually ends up being about 3 miles. For this year I have set myself the challenge to walk 1000 miles. That’s actually going for walks- not my general walking about.  Last year I did 810 miles which I was proud of, but also I was disappointed not to reach the magical four figures.  So far I am 240 miles in. I’m a little bit behind where I should be- approximately 12 miles behind, but I am confident that I will catch that up over summer.

New bed- at last!

-
 We bought a new bed today. Well, not the whole bed, just the mattress. I actually don’t mind spending on a mattress for a couple of reasons.  One- it will last up to 15 years. If I play my cards right, I may retire before the bed runs out! Hmmm that’s a quite early retirement I can tell you.  Two- it’s an investment in your well being. I’m fully expecting to spring out of bed fresh as a daisy every morning rather than the current sluggish state I find myself in.  I’ll keep you posted.  Support me-  Support me on Patreon Like me on Facebook Like and subscribe on YouTube
