Front Room Reset

-

 I got home from work today and the house was in a mess. This isn't having a go at my wife or child for not tidying up- it is very difficult to look after a young child- I completely get this. However, it does make my head feel smashed in to see the mess of toys on the floor. 

I find myself wanting to tidy up straight away, but as I was tidying, my son was getting it all out again- plus I was frustrating my wife as well. The situation, like the floor, was a mess. 

I am not sure why, but I do struggle with a messy environment. I am pretty sure that it affects my brain and my brain replicates what it can see in front of me. I see mess as a job to fix, so it scrambles my brain. However, when I look at a nice clean surface in the kitchen, it makes me feel relaxed as I see this as a settled thing. 

I decided to simply wait until my little boy went to bed, then I tidied up after. I did really enjoy the tidying up process- which I know sounds odd and maybe it is- but as I tidied- a feeling of serene calm spread through my brain which I found amazing. Ah the joys of tidying! All I need to do now is simply wait until my little boy has gone to bed before I do the front room reset

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
