What Not To Worry About #19

Hello Monday faces! I missed writing this post last week. It's so therapeutic writing on a Sunday evening and planning what little worries I am choosing to let go of for the week ahead. Alas I was too busy enjoying my long Easter break and this week is the first 5 day week I've had in wee while - I'm trying not to be a little sad about it! Personally I think 4 day weeks are a good way to go but since I'm not my own boss (yet - one day!) I will have to accept that I am on the Monday-Friday hamster wheel and make sure weekends are always jammed with the good stuff. Last weekend was a special one after watching one of my best friends marry her person which is one of the strangest and most beautiful things to witness. I have been friends with Louise for 15 years and seeing her stand up at the altar in the dress we had all imagined since we were teenagers and saying the words we have all dreamed of saying was incredibly surreal. It doesn't feel all that long ago that we were crying in toilets over boys or spending hours trying on each other's clothes! The rest of the weekend was spent recovering in Armagh mostly beside a lit fire which in April feels like a real guilty pleasure. I fell asleep in the armchair and had to be shown to my bed like a sleep walking toddler and woke up not having a notion where I was. On Sunday afternoon I was fed by the Moffett's and then fed again by the Donnelly's in the evening like a touring grazer - Sundays are made for ceilidhing! My uncle has come home from Australia to help us celebrate Granny Una's 90th birthday next weekend and his return has given the family plenty of excuses to get together. For such a big family it's not easy to get us all under the same roof but we piled ourselves in to my Aunt's house for a Chinese and Inidan (your typical Irish Sunday feed of course) and shouted over the top of one another while my poor Granny tried to make out the conversation. A couple of hours with the clan is enough to make my heart swell and we're all clinging on to these special moments with Una because we know how lucky we are to still have her. This week I am starting out with a positive head despite how far Friday feels! Here are a few of the worries I am shedding... Breaking Things Much to Andrew's continual dismay, I am renowned for breaking or losing things. The most recent damage is to my glasses which currently have one arm (or is it leg?). I've ordered a new pair but I've spent the last couple of weeks looking totally unprofessional in the office like I'm trying to start some sad new trend. I'm not I am just horrendous at replacing things! Hackers The joys of the modern era are the hackers/trolls/bullies we find all over the internet and I was lucky enough to be a victim of a Facebook hack a few weeks ago. Some lovely person decided to remove me as my blog page admin and despite trying to contact Facebook several times there was no happy outcome. I've had to create a new page all over again so if you're reading this please share my page on Facey-B if you can so I can reach out to all my old followers. Hate to be a pest but I will promise to make you a cup of tea or at least send out some positive thoughts (don't say I don't spoil you). Morning Routines Brighter mornings has meant I am up earlier than usual but I'm not using the extra time as best I can. Instead I usually sit in a zombie-like state dribbling granola all over my PJ's. I plan to start introducing some yoga stretches and a few minutes of meditation to wake me up a little better in the hope I might be a little more productive which leads me to my next worry... Work To-Do Lists Lately I've been a little unmotivated at work and the to-do list stares at me from my diary while I battle to get everything done. I plan to start managing my time much better in work so I don't get the guilts when I leave a pile of stuff still to be done - no more jumping between a million tasks! Wish me luck. Not Seeing the new Beauty & The Beast How have I not seen it yet?! Someone please take me!! Wishing you lovely lot an even lovelier week!!
