MARBLES, TREES AND JOB HUNTING

 

 

Hello everyone,

Frequently, I have to say in answer the the above question.  The main problem with me is that I`m always thinking and never let my brain have a rest.  I know everyone thinks most of the time but I seem to have what I can only call `brain overdrive`.  That`s my excuse and I`m sticking to it, being absent-minded is nothing to do with it....lol!

It`s another cold, overcast day here, with the occasional lonely snowflake fluttering down.  Everything outside looks miserable and untidy, as if  Mother Nature has had a bad day and decided not to do any housework.  There is something very sad about a tree in winter, they look so miserable with their brown, leafless branches. I can`t wait for Spring, my favourite season of the year, so full of new life and hope for the future.  My goodness, this is starting to sound very wordy , isn`t it?  Moving swiftly on.......

I rang up about a job today but the hours aren`t suitable, I have to have mornings only as I`ll be looking after Roman when Kerry goes back to work at the end of the month.  I don`t want to let her down but if a job is too good to miss I`ll have to ask her to change her hours to suit mine.  I don`t want to do that but if it comes to it, she can change to earlies instead of lates.  Mind you, I have to find a job first, I have a couple of numbers to call on Monday and hopefully I`ll have something soon, fingers crossed!

Keery will be here with Roman at 5pm, she`s going out with a friend tonight and he`ll stay here until Slava collects him on his way home from work.  All I have to do is feed him and change him and put him to bed at 6.45pm, he`ll go straight to sleep and then I can have something to eat.  I`m doing really well with my new eating regime.  I`m not calling it a diet because all I`m doing is cutting out sweets, biscuits and anything between meals, apart from that nothing has changed apart from eating slightly smaller portions.  It has always worked in the past and the only reason I`ve gained weight is eating far too much ice-cream and sweet things over the last year.  Also I`ve not been working and my job was very physical and it kept me trim, it was more like a three hour workout every day and I didn`t have chance to gain weight!

Anyway, I hope you all have a great weekend and that you find time to put your feet up. Take care all of you and goodbye for now.
