Stop! in the name of love

Interestingly I have been stopped in my attempt to spread love at a personal rather than general level. After 6 or so hours of writing messages (I haven't quite got to the k's) I received a message three times in a row that I'm unable to perform this action as it is disallowed. It won't let me again this morning, I thought maybe there was a numerical limit such as you can only write on 15o walls in one day or something. So I have filed a report to facebook (including of course lots of love to themselves) and will see what happens.
To be fair, I've developed a repetitive strain injury so a break will do me good. And then maybe gradually I'll get to contact the rest of my friends. But in the meantime

LOTS OF LOVE!!

Happily now at Dufton where it is cold outside but warm inside :-)

love times a million

Well, 324. I'm trying to decide whether it would be over ambitious to write individual love messages on the walls of every single one of my facebook friends. It certainly would take a big chunk of time. There may be some who don't appreciate it. But in the main I think it would be an awesome way to spend time. And of course, not all of my friends are on facebook, I'm not sure how I let them know. One is coming to use my washing machine today and asked me to leave an explanatory note, so that's easy to turn into a love note, but all the rest?
It will need to be today as tomorrow is full on with church then a leaving party and then off to see my folks. But we can send love any day of the year :-)

Hmmm, I'm only half way through my many friends whose name begins with an A. I feel a bit embarrassed writing on some, for others its totally fine and nothing unusual. I'd kind of overlooked the fact that love begets love, or at least a response. Initiating a love fest is no bad thing, but I probably should get up and ready for going out!!

5pm and I'm now at the end of the A's, but I did go out for a lovely meal in between. Had I been better at maths I'd have realised that 324 friends at maybe a minute per comment adds up to nearly 6 hours. Still, it's fabulous and if it takes me a week then that still will be fine :-)

10.15 and part way through the j's. I keep running out of battery life...

weight of the world

Will need to do some leaning today, so much stuff to worry about.
Fret fret fret fret.

And, finally I'm home - a long work day, and now onto my other roles - hopefully there won't be much there and then I can start the wind down into a few days off. Phew.

living in a hole

Once spring is here I am going to have to do something about these molehills that I have hitherto been ignoring.
I have no idea what and right now haven't the worry space for it
Just one more day at work then a few days off over half term - hurrah!

Christmas, on a school night??

Not being sure about the future could make a person reluctant to splash out - and it does. But last night I fancied some luxuries and so had a glass of port and Pringles, I know how to party! It felt like Christmas. Kind of.

Time is going so slowly at the moment. A week on Friday seems such a long way off still. (That's when I should get a clearer picture as to what my next step will need to be workwise.) I was delighted to be given a new nickname last week to remind me tI can be like the lilies in the field who don't worry. Last night I came a cross a photo of a time when I got my first nickname (tho my name is already an abbreviated form of my full name so maybe that was my first nickname??)

rebalancing

Yesterday I learned that rebalancing wheels is not what I thought it was. I assumed the car would need to be there so the wheels either side would get balanced. But apparently it's more to do with the flatness of the tyre ( or something.)
I personally feel a bit more balanced now (it wasn't even my tyre that was being rebalanced). Tho I have a meeting this morning in a building I have frequented twice recently and both times emerged with a massive headache despite drinking water. I know that I don't do well if I'm in a room with no window, the electric lighting and lack of air get me every time. Which is curious as by night I sit in a room with electric light and the curtains drawn and I don't get a headache then, I wonder why? Anyone any top tips on how to survive those kind of rooms/meeting, please do share :)

(Yay, today it was in a room with a window!)

pump it up

The bike ride i went on yesterday was much easier than the previous one. It seems that putting air into your bike tyres is a helpful thing.
I felt really down yesterday. Need to find whatever it is will pump air into my own metaphorical tyres. A photo from a friend helped just as I went to bed - they too had used signs affirming people. It's a good thing.
Early start today for some training - the mental rather than physical type. Had contemplated cycling there but today's gale has put me off that.

I discover that I don't even know where to begin looking for a new job. Just like when it comes to insurance and I have to find a match to my job and nothing comes close, trying to use a search feature on a jobs page is tricky. I tried hugger and nothing came up. As a more serious attempt I tried putting "listening" in the skills and third on the list is for a butchery apprentice. Maybe we are not designed to be put into categories??
