Blue Monday

I worked out today why it's called Blue Monday: because the whole day is pretty much guaranteed to be a disaster.First, I slept in. I intended to get up early and have a shower, heard my alarms, and decided to have an extra 5 minutes. Well, I've not been sleeping that well lately so decided to sleep when I was tired. Shame it was only for 5 minutes though! So, I got up, got myself looking presentable, had breakfast, then realised the kitchen clock was 5 minutes slow. No problem, I can shoot down the road without trouble. So that's what I did. I was down before I was meant to be, had been in touch with my lift, and was waiting. 5 minutes, then 10, then 15... I text her, and no reply. So I phoned, no answer then the calls stopped going through. A few minutes later, she phoned saying she was already at work... GAH! So, I decided to phone my dad to wake him up so I could go and collect him, but the phone's not plugged in so he'd never hear it, no matter how good his hearing could be. After bombing it up the road, racing into the house, and explaining to a very confused man that I needed him to come with me to work, we were off. I was only 5 minutes late, but my dad decided he couldn't work the fuel pumps and I thought it safer if I just filled up the car before I went in to work rather than let him. Let's face it, it could have been petrol that landed up in my tank!

So that was all fine. I got there, started work 15 minutes late and said I'd work it back. However, I was already working back 2 hours today, so landed in until 12.15pm. I thought the man was finished at 12 and I'd have time to sit and drink a cup of tea with a magazine until he came to pick me up, but no, he was actually finished at 11.30, which messed up my plans for a cuppa, but I didn't mind. Meant he was waiting for me, for once!

Home we went, after going to his to collect some stuff. Food had, and now he's sound asleep and I'm still wide awake. I might go and do some things and make myself tired, but I can't be bothered. Plus, I'm still hungry and my belly's full of air and is making very funny but loud noises. Oh well.

I'm going to make up some more recipes so that I can improve the way I eat and lose some lbs. Or at least I hope I can! If you have any suggestions, let me know. I'd be very keen to hear about healthy food stuffs and how to put them together. There isn't much we don't like. Anything but lamb or veal, and nothing too spicey or mushroomy. That's about it, really. I love rich flavours and food that is easy and quick to prepare. Get in touch!
