End Of The Day

What is that one task that you dread doing at the end of the day? 

For me, even though I love my dogs dearly, it would be feeding them. I'm normally in so much pain by the time I am due to feed them, that it is such an effort! Some nights it feels like my arms aren't strong enough to even hold the food, let alone prepare it for them. And when you own a 55kg (121 pounds) dog. He eats quite a bit, let me tell you!! So his bowl can get quite heavy by the time that I give it to him. That being said, I love him beyond words and I will take any pain, just to ensure he is fed every day. 

I probably should do it in the mornings, but if I have appointments on then I get even more rushed and then I am anxious, so it is probably not a good idea. 

My dogs also know exactly when their dinner time is and my little girl will whine from about 5:15pm until I feed them at 5:30pm. My little girl must think that I am the meanest fur Mummy ever for making her wait a whole 15 minutes for her dinner each evening. 😂

I'm guessing for most parents, it would either be dinner time or bath time etc. I am so glad that my daughter is now 22 and can look after herself and she even cooks better than me! Whilst I was 'parenting' I would say that the task I dreaded the most was cooking dinner. My daughter was quite a good child, so bath times were never really an issue, apart from her taking too long. 😂 Actually thinking about it, maybe it wasn't even so much cooking dinner, it was actually making her lunches!! 😂 My daughter is not what we would call fussy at all. She will try most foods and likes most foods. But I was the one that then had to come up with budget lunches (being a single mum, I was on a budget) and that is not easy for a child that wants every single fruit and won't eat a sandwich every day! I will say as much as I love my daughter, I am so glad that I am done with 'parenting' every day. I love being a Mum, but being a single one and doing it all on your own can suck! 

Do you have a particular task that you have to do at the end of each day that you absolutely dread? Leave a comment about what you dread at the end of the day, I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Observe Nature - Kmart Journal Entry

When did you last see the sunset or sunrise? When did you last go for a bushwalk? When did you last swim in the ocean? Describe these times. What's your favourite place in nature - why? Great questions Kmart Journal! Ha-Ha!  The last time that I watched a sunset or sunrise was the about three mornings when I woke up at 4:40am (not sleeping the best at the moment) and couldn't get back to sleep, so I did get to see the sunrise. It was also very peaceful and I find that now that I am waking up a bit earlier, that I am more productive with my day, especially in the mornings. I am going to try and start to get up earlier. I have always been a bit of a night owl, therefore I find it hard to get to bed early and end up sleeping in later.  I haven't been on a bush walk for quite some time, but I do try to walk my dog every day and I get to walk to the waterfront whenever I want!  I am not that fond of creepy crawlies, so I don't like to do many bush walks in case I see a creep...

Saying No - Kmart Journal Entry

How easy is it for you to say no? For myself, I struggle to say to nearly every single person that I come across in my life. I guess you would call me a people pleaser, who also says what she thinks.  I think that the BPD may play a bit of a part in that though.  Ever since I was a little girl I was taught that I should try and help others when I possibly can, even if it means giving the person my last dollar. I can say that doing this has f**ked me up financially more times than I can count! And I truly have tried extremely hard to help every single person that has asked me for help. But lately I am starting to feel like I am just a sucker when it comes to particular people and helping them. It seems like the friendships are very one sided and I seem to be the one always doing the work.  I do know that I have to learn to start saying no, and I am slowly doing it. I am noticing that I am not hearing from particular people, because I am saying no and not jumping to their e...
