Thunder to the left of us ~ Bush fires to the right ~ there we were...
Damo ~ stuck in my head ~ especially as I "Take out the Trash" and with empty bottles of Happy Juice & chocolate wrappers, before the bike ride . . .
Been quite a busy morning - I actually beat the alarm and was dressed, ready for breakfast with the sleepy SmallBoy. Bit tired now ~ however there are several things that do need to be dealt with over the next 10 days making 'everything' rather frazzled, full on and flat out!
Speaking of catastophising ~~ *grins* ~~ I discovered I catastrophise against things relating to money, or rather the fear of there being none and everything this is going to fall apart because of this - 'tomorrow'... and therefore I need to make the decision whether the mediciaiton is more important than the petrol for school is more imporant then food which can be put back on more easily than any of the others if I have smaller portions or ...
What's more ~ this is irrespective of the fact should something happen, now, immediately, I get a call notifying me now that this bank couldn't draw to to pay that thing, I've sufficient to cover anything 'regular' from a number of other sources which will allow me to say 'I can get that in within 24hrs' and be able to do so without issue. So should there be something come up out of the blue requiring immediate action, the immediate action is to asked for 24hr to THINK - the action required must be to gain the time to allow clear and practical thinking for answering the barrage of questions that just came rushing to the front of your mind at the thought of the fear that could occur if it were you . . . yes?? THINK - Time required 24hrs and return phone call ~ ask them to call you back just to ensure no confusion if you don't.
In many ways this is an example of an ANT (being the automatic negative) being stomped into a POT (the positive/plausible optimistic) thought and help delay that rush of anxiety that we will be left destitute and on the street in cardboard boxes (because any car will be repossessed too... *gasps dramatically, and winks*
Moving on to more and sundries ~ in order to move forward progressively, some things need a little delaying especially if there is nothing to be gained/lost in waiting a week, a fortnight, a month. So the Treasure Chest is still to stock additional items other than the qualities listed. Aiming for September stocked items picture loading!
Speaking of gaining - I have gained 2kg and now weigh *and hold* 46.7kg on me. I am terrible at the moment with regard to wind ~ ahh pooo ~ put me on a wheelie chair and I could fly across the room! I mean, really ~~ is it the added bran and fibre in my diet through breakfast, lunch and other fruit and grain snacks? It's not like I am downing a tin or 3 of beans each day! Heck, and hardly!! Over the weekend at Happy House I was little more on the 'bound' side - felt like everyone heard each pellet as it bulleted into the bowl! If not ~ well, they might now! *embarrassed grin* So, um, got that under control but the blow back is just unbelievable! Darn tooting funny as well - - up for the longest, loudest AND most tuneful currently!!
Also on the losing ~ well the only loss will be measured by a drop in income as of September. Close to half but we've been practicing with 'lets pretend we have $750 to spend each week, including paying the mortgage' over the past few months ~ not terribly successfully but definitely with greater awareness on expenses which can be minimised, removed, packaged up better because its looking closer to $650 per week for the next little while... Taking a 'pay cut' and having MyMan about for more home time, especially during this climate is forward and progressive thinking from all aspects - it will also mean we can get back to eating from the garden, our own produce, the possibilities are endless and the warmth is getting closer - I can almost feel it in my achey, breaky bones!! *chuckles* Less is more sometimes. We are set from the pantry for a few months - so no stress there!!!
Some may say, oh its just putting things off until when-never ~blah, blah, whatever, not you, blah, blah~ but it is not because it is clearly and specifically providing a time line. I don't need to be accountable to anyone for every minute of my time, and nor should anyone expect that of another ever - we know what is required of time and costs for the next few days, few weeks, months - the budget lives and is flexible to suit us and our commitments, no one elses. Even those who request and fail to repay in whatever measure, we've covered that due in October even - we've learned to never commit to anything if we only relied on the word or promise of others for return. Things happen that can never be expected, wanted or not. The scouts sure picked a good motto...
We Are Here
Two wrongs don't make a right
Still there's a guiding light
Whenever things seem like shite
I'm there for you
If you find you're falling down
Things rushing for the ground
It helps to make a sound
I'm there for you
I can see your pain, your smile, your glory
Every little piece forms part of the story
So when we're wrenched apart, so sorely
Know I am here, dear...
Little faults never seemed to matter
Even fall-outs, where lives will shatter
We always made the time to chatter
The door's unlocked for you
Open hearts and souls aren't made to measure
Every moment there is to treasure
All the goodness held close forever
We share as two
We can see such pain, true smiles, much glory
Every little piece forms part of the story
So as we share our love, our life, and surely
Know we are here, dear...
