Heyyy yooooo!
I wish you all a scary Halloween! I think thats the appropriate greeting?! I like to keep my curtains open at night so I can see the stars if I wake up in the night and I can well imagine I will see a lot of lights left on in my street if Halloween is sufficiently scary for my neighbours. I don’t do scary films when I am on my own but I can read scary books. They tend to give me nightmares still but I love the feeling of being completely lost in a world thats unlike the world I live in… my imagination can run wild so I think thats why books work better for me. That being said I fully intend on watching Hocus Pocus after writing this.
With that in mind lets keep this short and terrifyingly, brutally, Loopily Laura truthful.
Today was a great day. I bet you werent’ expecting that?! Today is good only. I have a lot to be thankful for and today was one of them days that really highlighted that to me. I was nervous for today as I was set to meet up with a friend and her daughter to hang out in Coventry… hit the library and see what happens from there (yes, I know! wild child). I was nervous because going to Coventry poses a few issues for me. Getting there is quite a trek, and if my fibro decides its going to kick off and Mat isn’t around to swoop in and save the day then I don’t have a plan b. Then there’s the social anxiety that has been a larger issue than my fibro the majority of my life. I don’t really talk about that very often cause I don’t think I fully understood that it was that. Words like that seem to be used for the “clickbait” effect so much in our social lives that it somehow seems like it should be more manageable and of course I assumed that it would be something I could easily highlightand understand… like “oh yes I get super shy in front of groups of people… obviously I deal with socil anxiety” unfortunately it’s not that straightforward. I’ll maybe chat more about that some other time but for now I think you get the gyst. So yeah, I got to Coventry… wait for it… ON TIME… we then had an amazing day. I did talk about Mum but it was nice to talk about her. We did rhyme time at the library and went for lunch then went the Herbert Art Gallery then went to the Transport Museum. I even managed to fit in a trip to Waterstones and ordered a book with a voucher.
When we got home we ate and then my middle one took Isobel out trick or treating with his girlfriend. Isobel was exhausted after that and needed her bed. I spent some time with my son and his girlfriend which was super nice… they’re such good almost adults. I’m proud of them both and I am excited for their futures…. they deserve the very best that life has to offer. My oldest was off out with his friends tonight… I hope he gets in at a reasonable hour… Oh my! when did I get so old?!
Love and Blessings xx
