Day Ten plus Eleven

A good day, all in all. Woke at some point in the early morning but must've fallen asleep again while thinking about getting up because my alarm woke me at 8:45 – time for Concerta x 2.

It was pretty damp out there and grew damper and windier as the day wore on. Wild water out in the Bay, beautiful but not to be taken lightly. I was glad to have the shell of my car about me, anyway.

Wasted a lot of time sorting on-line stuff out for my new Gaelic course, and phoning people, chasing things up.

What went well today?
But had a good laugh with my new dentist, who accepted my decision not to have injections for the removal of a dodgy filling. It was fine. That kind of pain is over so quickly and then it really is over.

Also managed to hopefully sort out a knotty translation question for my very oldest client, who has kept me housed and fed for over twenty years – not exclusively, but with some of my most interesting  commissions.

And had a good Tai chi session, and got ready for some more work.

Finally, a lovely evening out with a friend up at live music in Benderloch (Orcadian Ivan Drever, guitarist, singer, songwriter).

Shall I look at all the things I did not manage to do?
- accounts
- another translation due by Saturday
- garden work
- cleaning windows, cleaning house in readiness for a visitor

What emotional pangs did I notice today?

Missed the cat at the most unexpected moments – should be over that by now, surely...

At what point did I feel most authentically myself?
Probably when I walked along the Esplanade, with the spindrift blowing in my face! It was good to be out there and to feel the elements. Needed that!
