We got shit done!
September goals included writing two stories for 70 x 700 and a job application. And I did those things! It also included daily meditation (well, contemplative prayer, but meditation is snappier) writing and exercise - I did not do so well with those.
Goals for October - rinse and repeat. I'm already doing badly with the contemplative prayer - sigh. But I have three potential job applications - I will review them on Monday and decide which to go for.
The menopause continues to be fun - not. This year, I'd sort of settled into a very heavy period every 3 months. I can cope with that. It isn't what I'd choose, but I can cope with a week's heavy bleeding four times a year. This month, however, we went for TWO heavy bleeds - one overlapping the end of August/start of September and the other the end of September/start of October. This is much less manageable for someone who is always slightly anaemic to begin with. So the start of the week (it hit on Monday) was a haze of just do the thing in front of you and don't worry about the other stuff. It would have been a LOT easier if I hadn't had some important meetings on Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the week, thankfully, was much more desk based. AND I didn't have walking to work to cope with as well, which I think would have wiped me out completely.
I have picked up some menopause tablets - I was looking for iron tablets but couldn't find any. You're supposed to take them with your main meal. Of course, I keep forgetting! But that's usual memory problems, not age :D
I did my town shopping in the middle of the week because I needed the bank, so at least I have an at-home Saturday. And I got my washing done yesterday (hurray for working from home!), AND the husband has just hoovered the living room, so it's just cleaning the kitchen and bathroom on the agenda, today. I will also work in time for a bath and some gaming, of course.
I'm coming to the end of Sense and Sensibility - we've just had the final scene between Elinor and Willoughby.
...SPOILER ALERT... ....SPOILER ALERT... ...SPOILER ALERT...
I still have zero patience with him, or with Elinor for feeling sympathy for him. Everything's all about him - his feelings, his needs, his amusement, his want of money. Marianne's illness is a punishment to HIM FFS!!! Anyway, good riddance to bad rubbish, I say.
And now, let's get this day started properly!
