Hopeful

My current feeling:
Hopeful.

My current thoughts are:
Got lots of thoughts in my head about what I want to achieve today. From clearing the ironing, maybe even swapping my summer and winter wardrobes over, food prep and a workout. That’s quite a lot to get through given I also have ringing this morning which takes out the majority of the morning. C doesn’t like me food prepping whilst he’s at church because I use pots and pans and it gets in his way when he’s trying to cook lunch. I don’t like working out in the mornings as it makes me feel dizzy. I guess I could get or with the wardrobe swap as some of the stuff I’ll be opening up will need ironing too.

My physical state is:
Stiff.

My physical state is a result of:
Didn’t move enough yesterday. We took V out for lunch and a very short walk around a lower, flat part of Hyde Hall, as she’s on crutches. I spend the best part of 5 hours researching a response to an email, sat at the computer desk. I could have done a workout much later than I usually would have but by then, I actually felt quite tired. I sat and read, then fell asleep.

I will make today extraordinary by:
1)  Changing my summer/winter wardrobes over, ready for the cold weather.
2)  Food prepping for the week ahead.
3)  Adding in exercise/workout somewhere.

My desired emotion for today is:
Comfortable,.

I am a woman who:
elevates her style season by season.

Today I will let go of:
clothes I haven’t worn all summer.

Today I choose to add:
colour and texture.

My wins, accomplishments, gratitudes for today:
I got through a long email response that required a lot of research.

The thoughts that support my celebrations:
It involved going back over old emails from the last two years, communications, and reports. It took several hours. It will help someone formulate responses to armchair critisism we received after the CCCBR AGM. Most of it is unfounded, as the evidence I have means most people just haven’t read what’s in front of them.

I want to improve the following for tomorrow:
Ensuring I slick to plan, eating, exercising, styling and progressing.

Words of advice, wisdom, encouragement, humour from my future self:
Weird dream last night. Was at a ringing event with the Cumberlands. The Master, Jack, came up to me to say he needed to talk to me later. I had no idea what about. During what seemed to be a social event, several other people said to me that Jack wasn’t happy with me. Randomly, I looked at a tv screen and there were Essex ringers on screen sitting in our ringing room at Chelmsford watching what was going on where we were. There were three people looking directly at the screen, the middle one was Phil Sanders. I couldn’t make out the two either side, other than they were male and almost clones of Phil. To the side, in the shadow was David Hengeli. None of them were speaking but they all looked grumpy. Back in the room where I was, I was walking through the crowd of people and passed Neil and Courtney sitting down. I said hello as I walked by but they didn’t respond. In the next room someone else said Jack wasn’t happy with me. I asked why and they told me it was because of photo’s I’d posted the College Youths weren’t happy about because it looked like the Cumberlands had preempted a competition result by posing with the trophy. I looked at the photos and there was one with my son in law, Matthew in the ringing room at Chelmsford holding the trophy. Matthew is a College Youth. I removed all the photos, and as if by osmosis the tension in the room dissipated and it was like nothing had happened. Then I woke up!
