Busy, Busy, Busy

How can I be so busy?  I am supposed to be semi-retired!  The reason I have not updated this blog for a few weeks is that I just have not had the time.  Before I semi-retired last Novemeber I was quite worried that by now I would be getting bored and be wondering how to fill my days.  So what has been happening since then?  Well, firstly, I have had an unexpected influx of work from my one remaining client - that will give me work, on and off, over the next month or so. On top of that I have started to paint the en-suite ready for some electrical work that will be done next week.  I know that I may need to do another coat of paint after the full refurbishment is completed but, as we are changing from a mid green to an off white colour it will need a few coats to cover it all.  Then I have been busy ordering and taking delivery of various things for the refurbishment.  I have to admit to being a highly organised person (annoyingly so for some people) so want to make sure we have everything we need in good time for the fitter to start work.  There are so many other things I want to do and, at the moment, I just don't know how I am going to fit them in.  

I am still trying to lose some weight - but, intentionally very slowly. So far I have lost about 1.8kg and hope I will continue on a slow downward path.  It has been very interesting keeping a food diary as it really highlights where the problems are.  It has also been a surprise to me how many calories are in some things that I thought contained less.  My husband does not always help though.....for example, he came home from the supermarket with 10 donuts the other day.  I did not really need these but did not want to waste them.  So, my dilemma was to waste them or eat them.  Well,, we did the latter between us - but I made sure he ate more than me!
