052/100 days of aspirin

Back into town today, via the train, which does mean 15-20mins walking at each end of each trip. It took me a while, but I decided discretion was in order and put the moonboot back on, since I would be there in the lunchtime rush. Took it off in the hairdressers though (I did ask!) as it was aching to sit in it, not to mention hot. I need to think of somewhere to drive to this week, which is a bit further than the supermarket.

Pleased with my haircut, it's back in a style that makes me feel stylish, a bit funky, cuter and sexier (not that that is a consideration at the moment). I also joined a facebook group to keep goals on track until the end of the year. My goals are a mixture of SMART and not-so-smart at the moment, may need refining and spellling out... and then I am more likely to lose interest in them and go onto something new instead...

• get back to work after 9 weeks off with a broken leg, continue with physio & find a way to do yoga while travelling 
• embrace the role changes at work and define "was I successful" touchpoints to review daily 
• pick up that self-care daily review
• keep writing flash fiction & short stories; especially the WordCloud annual story competition
• keep knitting - a daily act of making something!

Rumpelstiltskin

Each night he shut me into the room,

he wanted gold from me.

He wanted me to spin a web about it

about what he did.

I had to pretend that I enjoyed it,

that I would have done it

even if I had the choice,

that this cold damp room was

our haven from the world.

Of course I wanted to know his name,

but it was not for revenge,

how could he think that now?

No revenge because he took pity on me

and let me out

when I was gravid.

I want to know his name

so that my child will have one.

next -->

hmmm

Today an hour or so after I woke up, I thought "You know, it's his loss."
That doesn't mean I'm healed, just that my confidence has recovered to a level where I can think like that.  At least for that moment, there will be other moments where I may be better or worse.
