Well, I've woken up today and it's less than 20°c! Happy day. I might be able to sleep tonight!

What are your wins for the week?

  2. Kept a child alive for a week.

    Currently looking into boarding nurseries. 6 months is just the right age to send them to the countryside for schooling? Right

  3. Had my ADHD assessment yesterday, and now formally diagnosed. Maybe a bit weird to think of as a “win”, but I’m relieved to have what I suspected confirmed.

    Shoulder is feeling a lot better too. Not 100%, but I can move my arm more than before without causing too much pain.

  4. Won’t need a fan today. 32 yesterday, 22 today with clouds and light rain 👌

  5. Wrote a 3k word short story in one day! It needs editing but that’s for my editor.

    Ah fuck I’m my editor.

    Still, though. More stuff to submit to the magazines!

  6. It’s ten degrees cooler today and might rain – hurrah!

    I’m on annual leave, so I don’t have to go to work until Sunday night! Double hurrah!

  7. It’s a solid 10 degrees cooler here in the south east than yesterday and while I usually love hot weather, this week has really been quite a lot so I’m quite pleased with it.

  8. Youngest has woken up hating the world and everyone in it, especially me.

    Just as well I am working til late tonight and daddy is doing bedtime.

  9. Looking forward to dropping the dog in kennels at 9 am then off on a ten hour road trip to Scotland.Also got a notification of winning £3 on the Euro millions so the day is a bit better.Its my mother in laws Eightieth birthday in a couple of days so going to enjoy seeing her and a few days rest.

  12. After what feels like a long road we are discussing completion dates! I’m a solo first time buyer and feeling very much out of my depth but I’ve been craving my own space for years and it’s finally coming into reality!

  13. I went and marshaled at my cycling club’s time trial last night. I would normally be racing it but injury keeps me off the bike. I can now 1) walk without crutches and b) drive, so I thought I’d give back to the club. It was nice to see other people suffering for a change

  14. Found out that my four month long permanent headache isn’t a brain tumour, yay!

    Downside is it’s still undiagnosed and I have to plod on doing my best to ignore it, boo. But mainly yay for ruling out the nastier causes.

  15. Woke up to rain and the temp going down to 22 from 32

    Can finally think straight again

  16. The heat has gone, things feel cooler and my family are leaving to go back up north so I have the place to myself again.

  17. I’m 29 today, don’t know if that’s a win or not? My back hurts… Tempted to go play a solo round of golf with a 4 pack of beers.

  18. Didn’t throttle my son or lose my temper with him during the night. I know that will sound extreme to non-parents but when he wakes me up at 2am for 2+ hours on consecutive nights, and gets fighty when you just try to get him back into bed, it’s really hard to stay sane.

    I am exhausted today, running on less than 4 hours sleep for a 10 hour day. Joy.

  19. Didn’t catch a shift from my standby, so now I’m home and…well, not exactly chilling, but free to lie in front of my fan with no responsibilities.

  20. Me and my 6 year old did his first Munros on Monday (Beinn Ghlas and Ben Lawers). Spent most of the day in the thick cloud and wind.

    7 miles and nearly 1000m of ascent and the wee monkey still wanted to go to the park on the way home.

    Gonna smash out some more during the holidays

  21. I had to go home from work yesterday because my anxiety was absolutely crippling and I was crying so much I couldn’t stop. But I still made it to my therapy appointment last evening. I got up the courage to ring in sick today so I can try to get my head back together. My therapist highlighted that empathy for oneself is very important, and I’m not giving myself any. So today’s win is that I managed that a little bit this morning. It feels strange. Maybe I can be kind to myself later too. Hopefully it won’t feel odd if I keep doing it. 🙂
