Petals diary

[Emilyrose]

I hope the illness was just from you overdoing it and nothing more. I think since we’re being forced to stay home and do less, your body might be responding to that and making you actually rest. At least that’s what I think is going on with me.

That’s lovely that you are getting on so well together as a family. This thing is making us realise how important we all are to each other. I think it will bring families a lot closer together as people will be spending so much more time with their children. There will be some real positives.

I think we need to buckle up though - it’s going to be a rollercoaster of a few months.

Good luck on going for that last 10 lbs, Petal. You've come this far, you can do it without a doubt.

I totally enjoyed Ems song the other day and played again this morning . Here is one of my favourites to belt along too and the video is nice too

Love that tune

Being a nurturer is wonderful, but letting others nurture you is also a skill worth learning

 

[Cate]

Learning to let others nurture you is a skill. It's really good for our kids to feel that they can "repay the favour" by doing things for us. It sounds like you have done very well bringing up your son to be capable & loving.

today right now this minute PROJECT PETAL commences

Project Petal, I like it!

Now I am looking forward to following your progress, go girl!

 

[aiminglow]

PROJECT PETAL ... I can do this .

Yes!! Yes, absolutely you can! And terrific about stepping back a bit from being household caterer.

Also - I think Em is so on the money, about your body pitching in to get you to rest, as well as about

how important we all are to each other.

Solidarity from afar, Petal!

Thanks Em, Jack , Amy , LaMa and Cate and Rob. I Had a good yesterday. Dressed up a bit as I have been living in leggings and fleeces . I tried to go to the supermarket but I didn't feel like queuing ( they are tightly regulating number of people allowed in at once ) so I went to a different local store which was fine. I will need to do a supermarket shop this week but I will wait for a mid afternoon and hope for the best.
Ate well and relaxed .

 

[Emilyrose]

Yeah, I am just avoiding Dunnes cos I know how busy it is. Standing in a queue around people for ages probably isn’t the best plan anyway.

 

[Llama]

Yay for tight regulations right now. Eating well and relaxing sounds excellent!

 

[alligatorob]

Ate well and relaxed

Good for you, looks like Project Petal had a good day 2.

 

[aiminglow]

Dressed up a bit...

I love this! And it looks like you've inspired New Zealand - at any rate, they're all dressing up as well!

And I'm glad you

Ate well and relaxed .

The relaxing being just as important as the eating well, I think. Waving to you from across the world, Petal!

 

[Petal001]

Hi Amy and Rob , lama , em and everyone . I haven’t much to say this morning so just saying hi . More later

 

[Llama]

Hope you just don´t feel like writing and aren´t TOO busy.

 

[Petal001]

I’m busy not madly so but also just bit pensive . Don’t worry I’ll be back ! Lol

 

[aiminglow]

A calm, heartening day to you!

 

[Emilyrose]

Hope the day is going well!

 

[Cate]

Hi, Petal. It's very hard to stay motivated & upbeat at the moment. Sending you a hug in case you might need one

 

[Petal001]

Thsnks Cate . Appreciate it , waving back Amy and Em.

Ah it's hard alright to stay motivated . Ate a pile of crap last night . I think I'm ok today though. Got out and walked before work. Work is frustrating as internet is so slow plus I'm getting bombarded from the boss . Struggling a bit . I could list complaints here but I won't . So eating well today and swapping my food about a bit and more in control . I don't think I can take seeing a weight gain in the morning so I'm going to wait a few more days . Cheating a bit I know but needs must .

 

[Llama]

That´s all I´ve got.
