Have you ever just allowed yourself to wake up without checking the clock?

This morning I woke up by what I'd call a natural progression.
I went to the bathroom and set about my morning.
Took the lamb out the fridge that I had been defrosting and washed up and began seasoning.
I realised I was out of lamb stock cubes so I quickly washed and dressed and headed to the shops with it taking my domino's pizza box from Friday/Saturday.
Much to my surprise there was hardly anyone on the road.
It was only when I returned to mine that I finally checked the time on my thermostat it said 10am now that's wrong as it doesn't seem to maintain its time.

It had to be after 9 still as its only 10.23am now.

But I feel better for it.

I can't wait to have my roast lamb dinner with baby potatoes and farmhouse veg.

😊

I'm feeling much better today BTW.

I think the week was just incredibly overwhelming.

My eyes have gotten worse, so all I can see is the clock, and I sort of guess what the numbers are. I'm usually wrong...🤣. The sun coming in through the curtains is a better indication.

I am glad you are feeling better. 🤗🤗🤗

@4meAndyou thank you.
I think sometimes I have too much to think about and it just becomes overwhelming.
That's why I was saying it's good to have people in your life they add to your way of thinking they share things that maybe you don't know or haven't even considered.
I'd love to trade my head sometimes..

@Mellowgirl We all have a tendency to dwell on our own heads far too often. I know I do, at times, but I've become stubborn about it. Now I refuse to dwell on things. Instead, I just get busy...here on SW, typing, or working on family trees for other people.

@4meAndyou it's difficult when I'm in that state of mind

@Mellowgirl 🤗🤗🤗 Sometimes, when you are young, it's hormones, and you don't have the luxury of shutting it off. Sometimes it's loneliness, and sometimes it's toxic people messing you about. I used to have to crawl into a hot, hot bath and soak for at at least an hour to try to calm myself. I was in a bad marriage.

@4meAndyou I understand that.
It's a combination of hormones and circumstances. There's not very much I can say or do anymore
