A bleak and stormy day, not a day to be going out, but of doing cosy things like journaling and reading and watching favorite YouTube offerings.
Willow was in her element. She knows when we are settled for the day, I put on my comfortable clothes. I have a joke with Kev that she thinks I dress like a homeless person, or pj's. Once dressed like that she knows I won't be moving anywhere.
The wind nearly blew Kev over when he went to the corner shop, so he he said anyway. We had Cottage pie for lunch with green beans and carrots, homemade naturally. They'll be enough for tomorrow too, which is good.
I finished another book, and did a few pages in my junk journal. Kev covered a box with wrapping paper for me to stash all my ephemera in and made a great job of it.
He cleared out some cupboards while he was making lunch, and reorganised what baking stuff he has.
It's a year since I handed in my notice at work, and I was thinking, obviously we have less money coming in, but, I really love not working. Getting up early, getting buses, dealing with contant roadworks, and awkward customers. Choosing to stay in ' because we can' or going out for exactly the same reason.
The peace it's bought us both is wonderful. Yes, there are a few people I miss, but not many that miss me enough to stay in touch. I learned a long time ago, out of sight out of mind.
