I think I must be feeling a little bit down this week.  Probably tiredness coupled with mixed emotions still at being back at work (albeit temporary).

After a false start to the morning, I was dropped off by the family and in the 10 minute walk found myself sobbing down the phone to my very good friend.

I feel daft now as my mood is considerably better, but why oh why were women blessed with such volatile hormones. 

But it struck me how much my friends mean to me.  By the time I got to work I already felt better.  We are huggy people anyway, but sometimes it’s nice to have a ‘verbal hug’, something to soothe.

My friend didn’t tut or heavy breathe on me with impatience.  As usual I just had a very smiley, encouraging voice at the end of the phone.  So a big thank you.  You know who you are and I know you will be reading this at some point.

And better still I get to see both my good friends this week, so proper hugs will be forthcoming.

Goodness knows what my new work colleagues must think of me.  I obviously looked as though I had been crying and coupled with the fact it was damp outside I resembled Worzel Gummidge on a bad hair day!  Not a good look believe me.

The only good thing is - I don’t have to look at myself.

Spent a lot of today inputting data on to the computer so felt very tired this afternoon.  So for a break from it I did some very pleasant filing! 

Tonight our accountant came to see us.  He is so great with us.  I think he feels sorry for us at the moment as he won’t give us his invoices!  Aside from completing tax returns with us, we can have a good laugh with him. 

My husband has a new piece of software about to be launched and gets very animated about it (what I politely mean is, he won’t stop going on about it and rightly too as it is good). 

He was giving our accountant chapter and verse and we were having difficulty kerbing his excitement.  So I asked our accountant if he would take him home with him. I even offered to pay, but he just walked out laughing. 

Did he think I was joking?
