My shopping day

My mum picked me up at about 8:45 this morning so I had to get up at the normal time I would on a work morning, so that I could walk Tess and get ready. Although I was feeling a little down about my skin infection, I didn't want to let it ruin my day. Mum and I chatted all the way to Hobart which was nice and we got along well all day. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, only to be let down again but it looks as though things may be getting better between mum and I which I am glad about. Afterall she is my mum and I do care about her a lot.

I got heaps of shopping done which I am pleased about. I got everything I needed but now feel a little guilty as I have spent so much money. I know I shouldnt feel guilty as I only bought things I needed and I hardly ever buy myself nice things. First we went to a sports shop where I got a new pair of asics shoes, as my last pair are really warn out. I wanted the shoe I ended up with in some brighter colours but they only had it in the darker colours, which I still do like. I also got a bright pink thermal sports top which should keep me really warm while I walk Tess when it is freezing and also when I start running in the future, as I hope to do. I also got a really comfortable pair if black tracksuits that I really liked as well as 4 pairs of asics socks.

After spending way too much money at the sports shop, mum and I browsed in a few different shops before lunch. I bought two pairs of nice (adult sized) jeans which fitted me well, but still had a bit of room for when I gain a bit more weight as well as a nice cardigan. I bought a good vaccuum Cleaner that was on sale as well as a new dog bed for Tess. On our way home we did some grocery shopping and then got home at about 5:30 pm. I was starving so had a quick tea before taking Tess for a really quick walk.

I am feeling pretty exhausted as I have been up since about 3:30 this morning. I need to try ad get into a better sleeping pattern as at the moment I am so exhausted in the evenings so fall asleep as early as 8:30 some nights, but then I am awake early each morning. Tomorrow is my last chance to have a real rest day for a while though so I am going to make the most of it and do as little as possible, which will still involve walking Tess, tidying my house, cooking and also doing some study for my traineeship  assesment I have on Tuesday.

I hope that everyone has a fantastic weekend. Please try your best to keep believeing in and fighting for recovery! :) x Here are a few of todays meals;
