Cuddling with this little fluffy lady. She's unwell and it looks like we won't have much time left together. Beyond heartbroken.

The TV schedule gods decided that I should watch The Man who would be King. Accompanied by a cup of tea, a blanket, and a fluffy snoozy kitty. Happy me.

One of the best things I ever did for myself was stop comparing my life trajectory to people who have support systems. I wonāt say I never had help, but Iām just now truly understanding the difference between āassistanceā and āsupportā.

Ageing: the condition of becoming less serious about all you were once far too serious about and more serious about all that you once undervalued.

Showed my face at the Christmas party, had a nice time, drank 2 non alcoholic drinks, and was back on the sofa by 9.30. Phew. That's the socialising done for 6 months.

Bugger it, work dangled a carrot so guess I'll stick around a bit more before I fulfil the plan. I like being able to eat and buy a silly amount of jigsaws after all....

You know when you bump into someone who used to be a very dear friend but you find yourself using your 'telephone' voice when thinking of what to say.... realising that part of your life, with them in it, is definitely past tense.

I am keeping this post unpaywalled, on a permanent basis. Itās a pretty photo and Iām sure most people wonāt venture beyond that, since we live in a busy, chaotic world, but Iām posting it and pinning it as an intro to my writing for those few who do...

I'm finding lots of joy in being able to pop into the garden and grab a load of holly to help jazz up a simple wreath. I've also got the Christmas cake in the oven, love this middle aged me š

Still planning on the major change in life, but for once, I'm acting my age, taking it slow and doing it in a way that allows the bills to be paid.

Did you know that it's
#GriefAwarenessWeek
? Books can help children to explore feelings around grief and see that others have had similar experiences to them. We've picked out some titles that you might like to try, with lists for different age groups:

Whilst waiting for an important email that will change my life, I've started changing it anyway. Signed up to 2 beginners writing courses and getting back to full health again. My new life is so close, I just need to grab it.

Added to my collection of things that make me feel old. I now am a proud owner of a rather full grave. What a faff that has been, just to get a headstone back in after Gran joined her husband and daughter.
