A good start!

Writer's picture: DougDoug

Yet another rough night and still not eating. I was up and about at 5 this morning, ironing some clothes whilst having my one cup a day of latte machiato! Off into town and bought some art supplies as I had an idea I might start drawing again although it’s been about 25 years since I produced anything. I popped into one of the local barbers and for the first time since May was touched intimately! Nothing like someone running their fingers through your hair, even if it’s a bloke! Went for broke and got my favourite, a zero skin fade with a good trim of the beardage. Now I can drink my latte and protein shakes without it all getting stuck in my lip strainer! I also picked up a great little book on mindfulness which I was going to read by the river. Unfortunately it looks like rain here in sunny Suffolk so will have to batten down the hatches and weather the storm. On the advice of one of my sons I am now going to get those 10000 steps in a day and he’s going to work out a healthy diet for me. I’ve already done 3500 this morning and I’ve got footie tonight if the rain holds off.

Still struggling with the constant thoughts running through my head, although it seems I’m beginning to slow them down a bit. Im determined to have a good week and I hope you all do too!
