For one reason or another things haven't been easy over the past few weeks. Nothing major in the grand scheme of things but but trying to fit in degree work when I'm already struggling to balance home life with work has made everything feel overwhelming. Add to that a couple of family problems and I'm seriously asking why I'm doing a degree. But this week an excellent and encouraging tutorial has set me back on track and today the arrival of these has lifted my spirits further...
A wonderful parcel of goodies from
Pink Cat for our
seven days of specialness swap. The idea is one little gift each day... but I really, really want to open them all at once! But I'm being good and have only picked one today... the one that promised "Something fun!"
And look what was inside... A "Which Came First" chicken and egg racing set! Jacob (who desperately needs cheering up) picked the chicken and I picked the egg and off they went...
But that pesky chicken wins every time!
Thank you Pink Cat...It made us both smile today! I wonder what will be in tomorrow's parcel?

Oh I'm sorry you've been feeling less than 100% lately :o( What a fabulous first present to make you smile though! Lucy xx
ReplyDeleteHee hee, that's such a good cheer up present, hope you feel a bit more chirpy soon, lets hope you have a sunny Saturday morning with tea in bed and that chicken lays you a REAL egg! P x (Planet Penny)

What beautifully wrapped parcels and such a lovely bit of nonsense in today's. Glad it cheered you and Jacob up, and that your tutorial has given you the will to carry on. Looking forward to seeing the contents of the other six parcels.
ReplyDeleteHang in! It will be such a sense of achievement in the end. The presents look cheery!
ReplyDeleteRemember, you're doing the degree because you are insane and it's required therapy. Go and do some dolly bobbin - that should get a sense of perspective back...!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it takes one of lifes big questions (albeit in plastic racing form) to give you a lift.
ReplyDeleteI hope things even out a bit....
Sorry that you have been feeling blue, it's such a hard time of the year. I hope that the pink parcels continue to clear the winter mists. xx
ReplyDeleteSorry your feeling down and things are not going so well, the trouble with blogs are that sometimes you want to give someone a hug and your arms just aren't long enough. I hope things get sorted out soon. Must be the time of year for us all! Thank you for your recent comments on my blog.
