New Year
Christmas came and went in whirl this year. Little dramas like our washing machine dying and my paypal account being hacked into aside it was a very lovely whirl. We went across the Pennines to Wigan to spend it with Ray’s family. I wasn’t well enough to travel across last Christmas so it was another positve reminder of how my health has improved. It was a special time and i found it hard to leave. Maisy was well looked after by our neighbour Linda, but gave us plenty of cuddles on our return.
I went back to work yesterday for a half day. I’m still finding it hard to believe that i’m back at work and in such a great job. On the way home i treated myself to an acupuncture session and a massage (i realise 16 needles inserted in various parts of the body might not be everyone’s idea of a treat)…the session was great and i came home zinging with energy and feeling a lot less pain. After a lovely supper with Ray i had a long soak in a glittery bath thanks to Lush, with candles burning on the edge of the bath. As a way to spend the last day of the year it was pretty close to perfect, and could become a tradition. I managed to stay awake (just) for the chimes of Big Ben at midnight coming through the radio.
Today has been a lazy day too. Ray and i had a service, followed by a short walk and a game of Pooh Sticks in the drizzle. A gentle way to start 2008.
