Leaped out of bed this morning at 5am so I didn't have time for my brain to make excuses and give me reasons to stay in bed. Did my morning routine and took the girls out for a morning walk just in time to see the sun coming up. I love the colours of Autumn when the leaves start to change colour into all shades of browns and oranges.
The morning is such a peaceful time of the day when not that many people are about so it's good to gather your thoughts and just enjoy your environment. Apart from taking photos, I try to keep my head out of my phone so I can be present and notice everything around me.
When I got back home Nicky rang as she had seen me post on Facebook so knew I was up. We had a good catch-up as she has lots going on at the moment (not my business to share, so I will leave it at that).
She mentioned that I seem to be living my best life at the moment and it kinda reminded me that I have so much good stuff going on at the moment. I am definitely trying to take every opportunity that comes my way, even if at the time, I am not sure if I will be able to afford it or not. We are only here once and it's better to be able to look back on all the things we've done than look back with regret at the things we wish we'd done because we were so sensible and had lots of unspent money in the bank to take to the grave.
I went and picked up Kirsty and brought her to mine as she is staying at mine tonight for a bit of company for me and a break for her. I enjoy spending time with her as we like similar things, the first thing being FOOD lol. We made a pasta sauce with chorizo to have with some pesto and feta pasta. Very nice. I even put some of the sauce into small containers and put them in the freezer so I can have some sauce ready-made to just stir through some cooked pasta for a quick and easy meal.
I've changed some of my lounge accessories over to my Autumn colours now and added those same colours to my trays in the kitchen and lounge to give it them cosy feel. I've added the throws to the sofa too as I prefer to be colder in the house and have a throw over me to keep toastie warm.
Tomorrow is the 1st October and I was going to things about doing STOPtober but as I have 2 nights out planned, and the first one is tomorrow, it's probably not going to happen. I might just try and not drink in the week for the first two week as the last two weeks I wont be drinking anyway as we will be in Bali.
