Hashtag no filter! In the interests of continuing

Hashtag no filter!
In the interests of continuing the theme of being honest about things: this is me, post workout, pink faced and sweaty this morning.
I've been feeling rubbish and the voice of self sabotage in my head has been very loud. When you feel crappy, the instinct is often to stop doing the very things your rational mind knows will help.
I had built myself a reasonable lockdown routine which involved waking up early, meditating for an hour, working out while S was eating breakfast, dragging us both out for a long walk.
The long walk was the first thing to go; the weather has been either bitingly cold or miserably wet.
I have managed to meditate each day, even if not in the mornings. It's felt harder to get going with the exercise - but I know that even if I only do five minutes, I will feel better afterwards. So that's what I promise myself.
Usually the selfies I post on my stories pre and post workout (as a form of accountability for myself) are filtered because my face gets very red. But then people were commenting saying I looked great, and I felt more than a little fake. So here is a real post workout selfie. Red face and all.
Tomorrow I will continue to fight with the sabotaging voice in my head, and hopefully one of these days I'll claim a definitive win. Until then, I'll keep trying because there is no other option. Keep plodding!

I was talking to a friend about being honest on so

I was talking to a friend about being honest on social media, even when it doesn't serve a narrative or make you look particularly good. We agreed that it's better to be authentic and vulnerable than to try and paper over the cracks.
With that in mind, here is a photo that represents about 80% of my time lately.
I don't have a lot of work on, and I know I should be hustling to find more or picking up gigs from freelancing websites... But I just can't right now. Actually, "I just can't" sums up a lot of my life at the moment.
Today I woke up 2 hours later than normal. I didn't meditate or exercise and I only showered because S reminded me. I did as much work as I could deal with, and then plonked myself down on my beanbag to read.
I can't say anything I've been reading lately has even gone into my brain - but sitting and reading seems to be the only thing I can cope with a lot of the time.
I am exhausted despite having done nothing. I have gone from an average of around 15000 steps per day to being lucky if I manage half of that. The mental load involved in trying to keep a sensitive 8 year old going through lockdown is massive. Way more than it was during the first lockdown.
And there are other things I will not mention here that are also causing me stress, pressing my buttons and triggering issues I thought I had long since dealt with. Times are tough right now.
And so I sit and I read, and I hope that at least seeing her mother reading all the time might set a good example for S.
Tomorrow I will do some exercise and try to get us both out for a walk. I will cuddle my child and remind us both of the phrase I had tattooed on my wrist during a crisis some years ago: this too shall pass.

Today is a special day for us. On this day 7 years

Today is a special day for us.
On this day 7 years ago, the deed poll paperwork arrived, legally making S's surname the same as mine. I hadn't realised how much her previous surname had bothered me, until I opened that envelope and spent the next hour in a heap on the floor, crying.
Since then, every February 11th we celebrate. Usually we just go out for tea after school, but we've spent the last month in lockdown and needed a bit of cheering up so we made a day of it.
We were gifted this truly amazing cake by @mjs_little_bakes - definitely a massive treat for both of us. Lots of chocolate cake & icing and chocolate buttons. Yum!
S had a day of minimal homeschool and maximum lazing about. There was a lot of Minecraft.
And just as I was pondering what we should eat for lunch, some wonderful friends knocked the door with homemade Chinese food for us - because they are better at sticking to the school's home learning, and had been looking at Chinese New Year traditions.
By far the best part of my day though, was coming upstairs this evening to cuddle up with S and read together. It's worth going to bed at 7pm for that extra time spent cuddling.
She is almost 9 now and getting so grown up. I am reminded daily that she will soon be a teenager, and far too cool to be sitting on my lap or cuddling in my bed.
Marks out of ten for today: 11.

Can you help us to be more green? S and I are tryi

Can you help us to be more green?
S and I are trying to live more sustainably. You know the drill: less plastic; more reusable stuff and so on.
We have a compost bin, but there is a major issue with rats locally so we are limited as to what we can actually put in it, if we don't want to encourage an infestation!
I'm interested to know what other people are doing in order to move towards a more sustainable way of living.
All tips, ideas, suggestions, recommendations of instagram accounts to follow and so on gratefully received!

Anyone who knows us will know that S's hair has ne

Anyone who knows us will know that S's hair has never grown very long. When she started school it was not quite chin length, and it never really got any longer.
As you can see from this photo, her hair is now a fair bit longer. The longest it has ever been. In fact, when pulled straight her hair now comes past her shoulders.
So what changed? Have we discovered some miracle hair growth formula?
Sort of...
Way back at the beginning of the pandemic I read about how Vitamin D is good for the immune system. S takes a multivitamin, but I wanted to make sure she was getting enough vitamin D. After chatting with @alanlevipt I bought some vitamin D drops from him and began sneaking them into her food. (She is far too fussy to just open her mouth and take them, even though they have no flavour).
This is literally the only change we have made to S's diet etc since her hair has begun to grow, so I googled it and apparently vitamin D can also help with hair growth (though not in Alan's case, har har)
Since then further studies have been done and it has been found to be helpful both in preventing covid and in speeding recovery from it once caught. I think one NHS trust in the UK began giving supplements to covid patients with the idea that if it doesn't help at least it won't hurt - and had a good success rate. I don't think the government has ever actually told people explicitly to take vitamin D - I've no idea why, since you can get a month's supply for about a fiver and most people (especially in the UK & especially those with darker skin & especially during winter) are deficient in it.
Note: this is not an ad. I would heartily recommend the drops we got from Alan Levi, but I'm not being paid to advertise them. The supplements I take can be bought from the local chemist/Amazon/wherever. Probably the supermarket.
I just think it's worth passing on.
Also S is really pleased with her lovely longer hair.

It's safe to say we have not been winning at homes

It's safe to say we have not been winning at homeschool... In fact, we've all but given up on the work the school are providing.

What we have absolutely nailed today though, is:
🌞Making the most of the glorious weather
🌞 Having fun
🌞 Hitting our Fitbit step goals
🌞 Learning about the flooding of the water meadows
🌞 Jumping off big snow balls
🌞 Photo bombing like a pro

Tomorrow's list of tasks includes:

😺 Delivering food to Nana
😺 Meditating
😺 A different walking route
😺 More photo bombs
😺 Googling "why do I burp when I yawn?"

So I suppose really we are nailing the homeschool - just in a completely different way to what's expected. And with many more smiles than the first two weeks of self flagellation with Google Classroom involved.
