1, sleeping pills

3, my lovely friend who came over and dragged me out of the house this afternoon
4, ice cream
5, my new sparkly shoes that I will probably never wear... View attachment 2963

Seeing your new shoes which you definitely should wear.... inspired me....that to do it right in Italy should have some creative footwear....

Thank you, @Innocent Forever!

Well, if @Sunday16 is in agreement, how about if we head out for a virtual weekend in Italy! We can visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa:

And check out the view from the top:

Throw coins in the Trevi Fountain:

Swing by for a tour of the Roman Colosseum:

Go for a gondola ride:

And of course there's the Italian food!

Everyone is invited to come and join us!​

For something difficult today I'm going to try do things to stay busy that I enjoy. Writing out recipes at the moment, not sure what else I'll do. Maybe decorate - scrapbook - the other sides of the cards later (doing it as a gift). At least for a bit.

I'm grateful for
People that care
My journal
Ability to write
Sometimes able to calm myself down
Months of being okay before this

 

[Kiwi2016]

Good morning one and all @Innocent Forever loved your image as reminded me for some reason of when my mother used to wake me up on weekends singing very cheerrily "Good Morning To You..." which as a teenager seemed the absolute worst way to be woken up but now is one of the many happy memories that I have of her...

So for the challenge ---
Try to figure out how to take Friday off in order to go to a job interview...

Things I'm grateful for...
-a good friend who have been able to reach out to even though haven't seen her in decades
-a happy but impish dog
-good physical health in spite of still smoking
-a husband who does all the cooking
-and always every day all the folks here on SF

I'm too lazy to contribute much right now, but here's a cute guinea pig.

He is up for adoption in Texas and has the same first name as one of my good friends from rugby
