Brae. A gay woman's tale!

Oh my gawd …. I went to my first Boogie Bounce Class tonight … it was a class that I was recommended to give a try from the instructor where I do my Clubbercise …

It was brilliant fun … although I couldn’t always keep up … but it was good fun … I think my legs are going to kill me tomorrow …

I just refuse to let the world beat me.

I have treated myself to a Fitbit … or Fatbit’s as I call them …  it is quite amazing what it totes up … seemingly during the night I woke up 14 times and climbed a flight of stairs … I have NO idea what I was dreaming about … I don’t remember waking up 14 times either … a couple of times yes … but no wonder I am tired in the morning if my sleep is being disrupted that much!

Made a mad dash from Dunfermline to Alloa today for my “Golden Girls” time in the pool … I had planned to go this Friday too but I have taken 4 funeral bookings today and need to use Friday afternoon for visits … although I think I can still (at the moment) manage a session in Dunfermline … but I will wait and see on work!

Next week is going to be a nightmare … 8 funerals, my car going in for repair after some idiot ran into it in Tesco’s car park just before Christmas (and didnt leave a note)… and my bedroom and office are being decorated! … I am just glad I have a spare bedroom … I will need to sleep in there and work in the living room!

The house is really coming together now … nice and bright and just how I want it … in fact, my life is really coming together … even though I am run off my feet with work, I am still managing to exercise, my diet is going well and the weight is dropping off and my back is feeling a lot better (thanks to an amazing physio!) …

So far 2019 is being amazing … long may it continue!

The purpose of life is to live. Not to hold back, nor to shy away from things that scare you. Not to hold onto regrets or feel guilt about your past. Not to be told how to live or be dictated to. Not to give in the will of others or be forced to choose between one thing or another. You are you, beautifully flawed and unique .. live your life your way. Grab it, shake it and laugh to the end.

And now my life is no longer caught up in the mess of others.

Dieting and exercising for me again… not because of someone else!

Feeling bloody great!

Came home today to find this …. Neither cats or dog owning up to it … my money is on the cat’s though … although wee Sprouty was acting pretty suspicious … Hmmmm…

But I guess the outcome is the same

I have a lovely canvas of my beautiful Brae, who sadly passed away on Christmas Day 2017.

I decided that when my bedroom and office are decorated at the end of this month, that it would be nice to have a canvas of Sprout beside the one of Brae.

To match, I had it done in black and white … think I made a mistake … Sprout looks Demonic!  … although in truth, she is at times! … I shall always look at this and laugh!

The nice one of Brae and the demonic one of Sprout!

Im exhausted …  today I have had 3 family meeting and have driven over 300 miles…

I think an early night is calling me! … Tomorrow I need to have a bonfire, write all 3 tributes and reach level 4 on my bike training program … then next week I have 2 sessions at the pool booked for water aerobics, swimming and sauna plus 2 sessions at the fitness studio!

It is amazing the difference that the physio has made to my life … or maybe I should say a  good physio … I have had numerous appointments and visits to the NHS physio who done nothing apart from put me under a heat lamp.  I may be swearing with pain when Abdur starts working on my leg and back but it works!

My new hiking sticks arrived today too, and I will hopefully get to try them out very soon.  Wee Sprout could do with a few good hikes to get rid of her podgy belly!
