strong tea bag

So, another day, another challenge. A friend has a poster with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt " A woman is like a tea bag, you can't see how strong she is until you put her in hot water."
To be honest, the only hot water I want to be in right now is a lovely relaxing bubble bath. Sadly this isn't the sort of hot water I'm in, but I've asked for help, and everything eventually will work out, it usually does.
Meanwhile this evening has even more than usual crammed in - dentist for us all, a drumming lesson, and then a presentation evening. Thankfully it looks like the weather is going to play ball to allow us to have chips on the seafront in between as there's no time to come home for any tea in between.

Hurrah, my helper was very wise and concluded I won't have to go to prison! For me I've always found honesty to be the best policy even if it means facing scary consequences - but that's always been better for me than wondering about those scary consequences on my own :) I know it's not everyone's approach but it works for me :D None of us ever have a full picture of what's going on, we only do our best in the moment. My body is objecting to the intensity it has been under these last few days/weeks/months. Normally I'd walk the dog during the drumming lesson but have just taken him out as he can't accompany us to the dentist/presentation eve too. So with the half hour of the drumming lesson, my plan is to sit in a field and look at the clouds for a while. Hurrah again.
