Year 2/Day 26 - Wednesday
Very busy day yesterday doing things that I enjoy - so that was nice!
Had a facial first things in the morning, got home and smelled spring in the air so decided to mow lawns. Mowed ours and Mum's and she came out to thank me. Hubs was in the garden with me and I told her about Gran. She passed on her condolences and said all the right things to HUBS!!! This is the first time they've spoken since before christmas. I was hugely relieved and massively grateful to him for this. I know how much it took as I know how much she's hurt him. We had a short conversation of the sort that I'm hoping will continue, it was polite, and just enough to maintain contact and for us all to feel that there's a line of communication open again. I have no intention of pursuing our previous relationship which involved long talks in her house and listening to all her bigotry and judgements - those days are over. But I'm REALLY relieved that hubs and her have spoken, especially as the Spring is here as I don't want to have to worry about stepping out into our own garden!
Had a lovely lunch! One slice of seeded bread toasted and smeared with red onion and garlic chutney topped with grated cheese and grilled, served with a deliciously sweet sliced apple - GORGEOUS!
Decided to scrap the gym as I was STILL aching from Tuesday's activities but we did go on to clean the house. Most satisfying - I love doing this as hubs does the hoovering whilst I clean and dust and my eldest comes home and mops all the floors (he gets paid for this!). Also washed bedding and so everything felt spick and span by 4pm. Inbetween I managed to make a couple of chicken, ham and mushroom pies and prep the veg for tea.
Fell out with my new doormat so dashed out across the street to buy a new one and came back with a new throw cushion for my bed - it all looks LOVELY now!
Hub's aunt rang to say Gran's funeral is next Wednesday so we're getting mentally prepared for that and have decided not to take the boys.
Dived in the bath, my lovely Cuz came for tea and then did the online course with Pete.
I love days like this - highly productive and enjoyable with a real sense of achievement at the end of it WITHOUT feeling stressed or exhausted!
