Good morning. Beige blessings to rain down upon you :bb:
Today there are, once again, roadworks directly outside my house. Thankfully, I am leaving shortly to drive across the country and watch my Nibling in their final school band performance.
Then I am staying with my sister and bringing Young Nephew back with me to stay here for nearly 2 weeks. This will be his longest stay with us and I am really looking forward to it, but also a bit worried because some of his stims are my triggers. (We are both #ActuallyAutistic ). Husband has said that if I start to get overwhelmed I must tell him and he can step in and help more, so I think it will be ok.
Though I really could do with not having a period at this point, as driving across the country when I want to curl up on the sofa with some chocolate seems sub-optimal, at least the worst of it will be over before I have to pick up Nephew.
And on that delightful note, how is your day looking?

Good Morning! Beige Blessings be upon you :bb:
Well it is only 10 am and I have already been to see a doctor and am back home again. This was a follow up from my operation in February, and I have had it confirmed that I have healed weirdly but I have a plan of action going forward. So I now feel much more optimistic about things.
There are also roadworks going on outside my house, I may have to go out because I am already annoyed by the noises, but I am not sure where to go. I am sure I will think of something.
Other than that, I just need to pack an overnight bag as tomorrow I am going to see Nibling's last band performance before they head off to Uni.

Good Morning. Beige blessings be upon you :bb:
#Today I had my morning coffee sat in my garden. Yesterday we moved the swing seat from a place where I felt overlooked, to a place where I can enjoy my morning cuppa without worrying about neighbours.
I have seen a blackbird getting worms, a few bees and the finches are having a good shout in the tree in a neighbours garden.
Yesterday we saw grasshoppers in the garden! Well, we heard them first, but then we found where they were. They were 'full of the joys of spring' if you know what I mean.
The one thing I don't have in my garden is a pond, but it is such a small garden that I am not sure I would have the space for it. Maybe I could get a solar powered water feature to sit on the decking? That might be worth looking into, and would hopefully help the local wildlife.
I am waiting for Husband to get back from his dad's this afternoon. Though I am considering walking down to Meeting as I haven't been in ages and I think it could help me feel more settled.
This has been post coffee thoughts with Petra.

Hello, Beige Blessings be :bb:
I have not been posting my good morning posts because I have been in a slump. I have been overwhelmed and so have hardly been on here.
Today I am feeling a bit better though. Last night, husband and I went through the stuff I have got from the Adult Autism services together to talk about things. I was able to explain why I rock to and fro and that he doesn't need to help me stop. We talked about the things I do when I am stressed and I worked out what some of my more unhealthy coping mechanisms are.
I have been able to relax today and get some things done. I feel a bit better because I feel more understood, and I understand some of my husbands reactions to things that previously did not make sense.
One thing I have done today is doodle. I used to doodle all the time before I had a phone in my hands all the time, so I found paper and pencil and doodled (pic attached). For the time I was doodling I felt chilled and was able to calm myself a bit, and then at the end I had a doodle to show for it.

Good Afternoon. Beige blessings be with you.
#Today I am still exhausted. I slept from 3.30-6.30pm yesterday, then from about midnight until 7am. Then I went back to sleep for another 90 minutes. It is now 1pm and despite spending all the time laying on the sofa, I am going to eat dinner and go back to bed.
I have not been this bad with exhaustion for a very, very long time.
So my day today looks like resting as much as possible.
What are you up to?

Good Morning. Beige Blessings Be :bb:
I actually slept reasonably well last night. I put this down to being full of puy lentil enchiladas.
Consequently I feel a little better this morning.#Today I must go to my hairdressers to have a patch test before my actual appointment on Tuesday. After that, Husband and Tiny Dog are going to my Father in Laws overnight.
I am trying not to worry about being on my own too much. I just worry that something dreadful will happen as the last 2 years have been full of horror and every time I relax, the universe perceives me again and deals me a bad hand.So, later I shall likely log off and put music on again, and enjoy my crochet.
What is happening in your world today?

Good Morning. Beige be with you :bb:
Today I feel very unsettled. I feel like the slightest thing could tip me over the edge.
So, I have decided to log off for a while, put on some music, and do some crochet.
I have a whole load of recommendations from people for #books that I need to have a look through, but I don't have what it takes right now.
I will see you all later. Have fun today friends, and look after yourselves and each other

I didn't sleep very well again last night. So once again #today will involve restful activities. I have not been able to concentrate on much over the last few days. Maybe today I can crochet?
Currently, I am sat in the front room, in my favourite chair, with a cup of coffee and Tiny Dog snoozing on my knee. There are definitely worse ways to start a day!

Good Morning. May the spirit of Beige* rain down upon you :bb:
#Today feels difficult. I have apparently turned nocturnal again and have therefore slept for an abysmally short amount of time. So today will be making sure that I nap if I need to, as well as getting on with my crochet.
We have already had bin day based excitement, so that is quite enough shenanigans for one day!
How are you today? What is happening in your world?
*The spirit of Beige is rumoured to be a flavoured vodka of some description but I cannot confirm or deny this

Good morning. Beige blessings be upon you :bb:
I am still needing to rest as much as possible, my body feels out of sync with itself somehow. I am finding that I have very little energy and I can manage one thing over and above "normal" in a day before I must sleep again.
I am trying to build up my body's tolerance for living one tiny thing at a time. Currently at the stage where if I can manage to have a few days where I can shower before I crash I will be delighted!
There is a long way to go, and I hate feeling so locked in but I have done this before, and I can do it again.
I need to be relatively ok by the middle of next month because I am having my nephew here for a couple of weeks. Thankfully he is a delight and adores my Husband who will take some days off work as well.
For #today though, I will be mostly crocheting, I want to get this blanket finished in the next week or so that I can work on the Elf coat I am making for my nibling.
What does your day contain? Is there anything unusual or fun occuring, or are you settling into a comfy routine? Or something else entirely?

Today I am resting again.
Yesterday was busy. Today the pain flare has returned to full intensity.
I think it may partly be the weather.
So I will be mostly sleeping, reading and snuggling a dog.

Good Morning! Beige be with you :bb:
Today my pain levels are through the roof. So today I envisage a long bath to help with that as well as some reading and resting.

Good Morning! Beige blessings be :bb:
Today I have no actual plans, which I find quite stressful. I like to have ideas of what I am doing so that I know what shape my week will take.
I need to contact my support worker to ask about groups and I need to look up some emails.
I think I might go to the library later and find out what is happening there. A walk out will do me some good.
Currently though I am in my main role, which is being a cushion for Tiny Dog.

Good Morning! Beige blessings upon you and your household :bb:
Today is another restful day, and solstice celebrations with a friend.
I will be crocheting, I may play some of a new video game I was gifted and perhaps some of my jigsaw.
I am beginning to relax.
Yesterday we lit the chiminea to see if I could cope with the smell of the smoke, and it turns out that I can. Healing around grief can be difficult to see, but this is a definite marker I can gain hope from.
What are you up to today? I hope you get some space to be you!

Today's plans are to tidy up a little bit, do some #crochet, have lunch with Husband and rest a lot.
I am making the Starbright blanket by Attic24 at the moment (link below) as it is a simple pattern, but the constant colour changes keep me interested. I have so many projects on the go, and now I have more brain space I am going to work my way through them (at least until something new and shiny catches my eye 😂 thanks #ADHD )

Today I am in Manchester. So I am slightly discombobulated because I am not in my own space. Nevertheless, I am with family, and will be able to relax and crochet a fair bit.
I need to head to the shop in a bit, and then I need to think about what is for dinner. Actually, I probably need to do that the other way around!

Today, my day looks busy. There is a plumber coming to service the boiler at 8.30am, then I have counselling at 11 am, after that I have to drive across the country, pick up Eldest from Manchester and we are going to see my nibling (Eldests cousin) in their final end of year performance elsewhere.
Then I am staying at my parents for a few days.
The weather today looks dreadful for driving, but I will go careful and stop if it is too horrendous!

@PetraPhoenix #BeigeBlessings to you also. I might mend a tent. And I have an urge to craft a Seamonkey. I also need to walk the dogs. Maybe make some cheese straws.
My ambitious plans. I'm currently surfing the interwebs from the sofa 😂 -

Good Morning. Beige Blessings be with you :bb:
Today I have very few plans, I am going to potter about the house, tidying up and generally enjoying a rest.
I do have to pack a bag as tomorrow I am going to my parents house for a few days, but other than that I am mostly mooching about the place. It is very good not to have anything fixed I must do for a day.
I might do some crochet, or read a book, or there is a jigsaw I started at christmas that I could poke at.

#Today I have no study to do! I handed everything in yesterday!!
I have to sort out my exceptional circumstances stuff, and then I have a lay summary of a grant proposal to read through and comment on, so a couple of admin tasks but then I am free to do some crochet and some of my jigsaw.I may go and get a cuppa in the cafe over the road if it isn't raining as I can sit outside and enjoy it.
What is your news? Please tell me what you are up to!

Today is a big day. It is the last full day of my degree. Hand in is midday tomorrow!
I have 500 words left to write, then this afternoon I am going to go over the essay I finished last week.
I am quite emotional about being so close to finishing. It has been over 5 years since I started this degree and in that time the worst times of my life have happened. I have also been diagnosed with ADHD and autism in this time.
This is the 3rd time I have attempted to get a degree and the fact I am now so close, at the age of 49, is huge for me!
So please, if you see this, cheer me on today and send me words of encouragement!
EDIT: I have finished the work. I will be hitting send first thing in the morning once I have slept on it.

Good Morning. Beige be in your tooting :bb:
This morning I have a meeting with my mentor, and will once again be using her as body doubling so that I get some work done.
I am struggling to get started on my policy report, so hopefully a good focused hour will help with that.
I have 5 days and 1500 words to write to finish this qualification. I absolutely cannot fall at this final hurdle. It looks like I may actually finish this degree! This is the 3rd time I have tried to get a degree and it really shows what a difference having the right support in place can have.
What have you got going on today?

Today I am grumpy. I have not slept much and this always makes me grumpy.
However, I finished my essay yesterday so today is all about the report. Only 1500 words stands between me and my BA.
Other than that, I will likely need to nap later.

Today I have been getting on with my essay, and have 1808/2000 words now written. I now just have my conclusion to write and I will be done with that piece of work! So my plan for the rest of the day is to relax during the warmest part, and go back to my essay in a little while when the temperature is less silly in my tiny office room.
I think I will also take a look at the report I need to write and start to think about it so that my brain can work on it overnight, hopefully ready to go tomorrow!Other than that I am likely to have a nap, and I might do a bit of reading too.
