First thought this morning, as I opened my eyes was "what the heck?"
I seemed to be tangled up in the duvet, lots of it on top of me and hubby trying his hardest to get even closer as he was cold, due to the duvet being on my side of the bed.
Rearranged the covers, he muttered something incomprehensible, and fell back to sleep while I lay there looking at the ceiling in the dark lost in thought.
Peace, until the alarm goes off and heralds the start of the day.
Dragging myself from the warmth of my bed, I stagger down the stairs, let out the dogs and fill the kettle to make a cup of tea. That first cup of the day is heaven, nothing matches it, doesn't matter how many cups you sip throughout the day, nothing beats that first cup.
I notice how cold it is outside as I open the door to let the dogs in, definitely very chilly this morning, very frosty. Hubby makes a bleary eyed appearance and starts to sort out the birds, feed the dogs then eventually sits down with his mug and complains about how much of the duvet I had. I just laugh, it isn't my fault he put it all on me is it?
I now sit here alone. The children still in bed, the dogs have settled down, laying on their respective beds in the living room. I love it when it is quiet, I can reflect, or just enjoy the silence.
Not that it is completely silent of course, Radio 5 is on in the background, though that will be replaced by a cd at some point, there is only so much of the same news item one can listen to in one day
So today, I have a doctors appointment to check my shoulder and neck, then I will need to pop to the shops for some potatoes. Then I shall settle down and carry on with the stitching again in the hope that I will try and get it finished before Christmas this year!
Light is beginning to appear outside now. I am yawning like mad due to being tired still. I want to go back to bed, but know that if I do I probably will not get up again, so had better stay up and get on with some housework before I head off to see the GP.
Hope you all have a good day
hugs xx
