...hardest

i find the mornings hardest.  I feel like not getting up.... but you've got to haven't you. I have a lot to be thankful for. Motivation is proving troublesome but once I get going I'm Ok. Not sure the dark mornings help do they? A summer's morning means bright and cheery!

Had a family to view the house yesterday. Hope it sells quickly so we can all move on ....but it's unlikely I guess. They were nice people, had a house to sell though, but seemed to like the house which was good.

It's useful that I'm working from home a lot over the next few weeks - chance to avoid the drive in and out of work. I would also have been doing placement visits these weeks but because I'm marking and developing a Best Interest Assessor programme we've got someone in to do the visits for me.... that's a help on so many levels!

This weekend has been lovely and tough. It's been Luke's 14th birthday! Unbelievable! That's meant that I've spent quite a bit of time at Christine's house to be with Luke. Hung out with Christine, Jonathan and Luke Friday for Chinese food and a film (A Million Ways to Die in the West -was alright) and then Saturday was the same plus the Millers and that was lovely. Me, Jonathan and Luke then had Lunch at Grandma and Granddad's on Sunday..... it was all lovely but tinged with the pain and anguish of the last year. Christine is still my best friend and I miss her.

This period of time -waiting for it to sell- feels tough at times, easy at others, but also feels like a period of recovery after what has probably been the most emotionally traumatic year of my life. 2015 needs to be about consolidation, recovering, reflection, and consideration of what is important.... I already know the answer.....
