{A Be Kind To Me Day}

After a bit of a rum weekend in which pain, of both sorts, featured heavily I have picked myself up and am trying to get back to the busy contentedness of the past few weeks.

Nothing life threatening but major to me nonethless. Luckily it didn’t involve the children or Hubby. Well, I tell a lie. The physical pain was his in the form of raging toothache which is still raging but will subside now thanks to a battle with the former tooth while lying in the dentist’s chair.

Yesterday I gave myself a Be Kind to Me Day. It was hard because I wanted to mope. And cry. Which I did a bit but I also camped out on the sofa, in between baking bread, doing laundry and the dishwasher, drinking copious hot drinks, watching TV (which I find increasingly hard to do), reading (Love on the Dole – fab) and knitting.

I was dreading a day on my own after the distractions of family life (which felt odd, as I love my own company usually) but it wasn’t too bad.

It feels vulnerable, writing such a pesonal post (even without the details). Not really about gardening is it? I wonder if I shall hit “publish” or “draft”. But sometimes you just want to write about what is. And this is.

And I wanted to ask for suggestions about good films to watch when you are having a Be Kind To Yourself Day? I’m at a loss. Nothing sad, depressing or violent. But what? I need to stock up as I think there may be one or two more of these days on the horizon.

PS. I am fine. Really. Just a bit….sad. And in need of good films.
