That’s another song in your head now.
Why is peeling dryer glue of the back of your hands so much fun? I’m in my late 30s and you’d think it’s something you’d grow out of. But when it’s dried and you get to peel it off it takes you back to the childhood fun.
The is a reason I have glue on the back of my hand. I made a card earlier:
When I was sticking the silver words and numbers to the black card I needed to apply glue to the back of the words. As they are quite delicate you can’t just splodge it on. So the easiest way to do it is to spread some glue out on something the dip the delicate thing into it. That way it’s a fine layer of glue that only goes on to the back and not everywhere. The easiest place to put the glue is the back of your hand. The heat from your hand also makes the glue dry a bit and go tacky and that helps with the sticking.
So another week in the house with just me and Zoe. I’m still alive so that’s a good thing.
This week I got really confused. At church we’ve changed the night of one of the services. The Devine service has gone from a Saturday night to a Thursday night. So when it comes to days of the week I woke up Friday morning thinking it was Sunday. And on Saturday afternoon I had the feeling that I need to start getting ready to go to church. It doesn’t take much to confuse me and that didn’t really help.
The first Thursday night service went well and quite a few people came out to it. So I think that Thursday nights will be a lot better than the Saturdays were.
Thursday night though I had a proper freak out and lost the plot. I left my phone at church. When I realised It wasn’t where I thought it was I started to freak. I emptied my bag and when it wasn’t there I started to panic. When that happened I lost the plot. Luckily I have WhatsApp on my laptop. So I managed to get a message to mum, dad and katie to ask for help. So while freaking out And ringing my phone to see if I could find it katie came round to try and sort me out.
So I’m there freaking out, crying, panicking and losing the plot. I swear I’m like a hysterical woman from a 50s film that needs slapping. The problem is I know it’s a stupid reaction but I just can’t help it. I was worried that because I didn’t have my phone I wouldn’t have the alarms to get up, feed Zoe, take my pills, know when I can eat and drink after brushing my teeth (because of the toothpaste I need to wait an hour). So I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to function or do anything.
Katie managed to calm me down and through WhatsApp I managed to get a message to someone who had keys for church. They offered to go and pick it up that night but me not wanting to be a bother said “tomorrow will be fine”, all that while thinking I need my phone and I need it now.
Katie brought her iPad round and set up alarms for me so I had reminders to do what needed to be done when I needed to do it.
When I stated to calm down all I could think was ow stupid am I and how rubbish that she had to come round and sort me out. That’s when the negativity an the other side stress and emotional problems kicks in. It can be like a vicious circle if I’m not careful.
So here are my take on this weeks tiles:
Last week I talked about the last tile swap. (Well I think I did). So here is the tile I sent in:
It went in attached to a letter:
If you zoom in you’ll be able to read what I put.
Last Monday was the launch on tile swap.
It’s all packed up and ready to go.
I went out shopping today with katie. we went round Aldi, BM, Tesco and farm foods. I had a bit of a walk round farmfoods and let’s just say I’ll pay for it tomorrow. Well I’m starting to pay for it now but it’s nearly bed time so it’s not that much of a problem at the moment.
Zoe has been so funny on Tuesday, Thursday and today. When I’ve come home I say hello to her then have to go sit down in the living room so she can get on my knee and have cuddles.
She a bit big for a lapdog but she’s brilliant and I love her and the cuddles are brilliant. So I’ve got some new knitting and crochet pattern books. Mabel Bunny and Co is the crochet book and Robyn Octopus and friends is the knitting one. I also considered ordering the official Harry Potter crochet book. It’s got alsorts of patterns in it. There’s even one for Dobby the house elf. But I decided against it it as I still have to get the log cabin blanket done and I haven’t touched it now for about 2 weeks.
I nearly forgot to tell you the best thing I found out this week.I was putting on a pair of jeans. The ones I’ve been wearing for about 18 months and as they were quite lose I thought for a laugh I’ll try on one of the smaller pairs I had stashed in my wardrobe. completely unexpectedly they fit fine.
People have been saying to me that I’ve lost weight. I didn’t think I have but I haven’t been trying. And trying on the smaller pair of jeans confirmed it. I have lost weight and gone down a Jean size. As the jeans I tried on and ended up wearing were Levi’s the sizing won’t be wrong so go me. The new improved and skinny me.
As I said it’s nearly bed time, so before I can do that I need to wash some pots, get Zoe’s food ready for tomorrow and do a couple of other things. So stay safe.
Love and light.
