Day 2.

Today has been hot. Unbearable for me at times, what with wearing that thick tunic all morning. Sweating before I'd even done much movement. Feeling dizzy. Lots of water, that was the best plan. The only plan I had to keep me from fainting.

After waking up and feeling excessively groggy I was hoping that this day would be a good one and, on the whole, it has been. Only a few niggles to sort out.

I had a short day of actual work. Only 3 clients but for longer periods of time. I only do half days so it was nice. It's good to know that I don't have much longer to work in the day. I get to come home and try and tidy the house although the vacuum cleaner has been broken. I get in, get changed, put the washing on and do the washing up. It's pretty much the same routine day in, day out. Well, no one else is going to do it are they? 

Having no real sun out was disappointing. I was looking forward to an afternoon in the garden today. Just me and a book. Perfect. It didn't turn out that way at all though. With no sun I couldn't justify sitting outside despite the heat, I stayed in and did my best with the Facebook pages I manage. It's so satisfying seeing the 'likes' go up throughout the day, after you've been adding your site to every single thing possible in the hope of them. It's strange how much someone liking a page can make me feel like I've achieved something even though in most cases it's a 'like for like' scenario. Anyway, I am rambling.

For a Tuesday it was unusual to see one of my clients, considering my days with her are usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It was nice though, her and her husband make me feel very welcome. They're very northern, if that even makes sense. Some of the phrases they come out with are hilarious. The lady I see is completely blind, her husband has very poor vision and their friend who comes round every day, doesn't have much sight either. It's quite comical at times being there. My client shouting at her husband. Her husband shouting at her, telling her to stop moaning. You can tell how much they love each other though.

I nearly didn't blog today. Awful isn't it? Only managed one day before thinking, 'I have nothing worthwhile to say, I won't bother'. I did bother; that's the main thing. I don't want my blog to just be a stuffy, opinionated rant about current affairs or things I am passionate about. I wanted it to be more personal, a diary, a musing on my life's events. At least here, whether it's read or not, I can just say what I am thinking, be a little bit more honest with myself. I can write and don't have to even post it. It can be something to look back on, see what I was doing, how I felt, how much has changed. I'd like that kind of legacy. Even for my children to read in the future...of course, I need to have them first, but that's a long way off yet. Got to find someone who wants children with me first!

It's been a bland kind of day. Nothing amazing happened yet something did. I was greeted in to more homes and allowed to experience how they live. I was able to drive with my window down letting the humid air fill up my car. I got to drink hot water that had been left in the car for an hour. I was able to appreciate cyclist's bottoms.
