“But a girl she doesn’t live by only rock ‘n roll and brew”

Uncategorized

Hello one and all, It’s been busy-busy-busy this week. The type of busy that requires three words and two hyphens for emphasis. Hell, any busier and I’d have to throw in an exclamation mark! Oh, there it is. 🙂 Yeah, so work; rather frantic, but in a good way. Lots of things done, items ticked off the list and folk genuinely helped…. which is why I feel I’m there. All good stuff. Therapy time again last Monday – and this coming Monday for that matter – and it went fairly well. We talked briefly about how I’d felt since the last meeting and I did my best to be open and honest. Basically, I felt like sh** after the last one 🙂 […]

“How can I change the world if I can’t even change myself?
I cannot change the way I am?
I don’t know, I don’t know.”

Hey folks, In my best New York accent, how ya doin’? 🙂 All good I trust. This week has been…. mixed, which I guess is par for the course for us. Monday meant it was time for another appointment of CBT enlightenment….. and…. and…. Bum. I’ve run out of steam. :- I was hoping to say something positive about the experience, but you know what? I’m struggling. Things went okay, we talked about the power of emotions and the concept of ‘armouring yourself’ against the (Ed: slings and arrows? 😛 ) day to day roll of negative thoughts. We also went through one of the off-line exercises – off-line as in: your task this week is to… – I’d brought in. I’d picked […]

“And then I’m happy for the rest of the day,
safe in the knowledge that there
will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it.”

Hey all, I don’t know if you get this or not, but there are times when there are so many thoughts rattling around in my old brain, that it’s difficult to really know to start. Okay…. deep breath and concentrate, Lynn… and stop talking to yourself too. People talk as it is. 🙂 Shall we start with good stuff? This Thursday was Chameleons and as I hadn’t taken ill or broken anything (yay!), off I went. In time honoured tradition, it was a case of two outfits, but on this occasion, three sets of boots as I really couldn’t make my mind up. Ditzy eh? 😉 I was a little late than usual because I got caught up with work, […]

“I left my head and my heart on the dance floor.”

Hi, A day late with the post. Tut tut! 🙂 Okay, I could say I’d planned to upload a scheduled post, but in the words of Mr Callahan; “Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself.” Really, one of the best quotes from prime-minster’s question time. (Ed: That was Callaghan. Honestly! Look out, Lynn’s about to go into a day dream about Dirty Harry running the country during the 70s!!) Where was I? Oh aye, a scheduled post. Yeah, I had planned to do it, but… umm… two things got in the way. A) My complete inability to prioritise and B) how would I tell you how good last night’s Invasion was? 🙂 I’m sticking with […]

“But you light up, and keep me out the cold.”

Uncategorized

Hi, After posting earlier in the year that it was rather warm, Winter’s icy blanket came to rest across large parts of the UK. Now, I like walking in snow, I like the look of it and I particularly like the odd crunching sound it makes as you stroll around though it. Yeah, I’m odd like that. Childhood memories and the magic of a snowy winter with a good sledge. Anyways, the only bits I’m not so keen on are that it’s been so cold and driving in it, is not so much fun. Still, the roads are pretty clear right now and what with winter boots being the sale – yay! – bargains were snagged by the Ever Lovely […]

“Hello, good evening and welcome to nothing much”

Uncategorized

Hello dear reader, How’s things with you? Things here on Planet Jones are good…. no, actually, good is perhaps overstating it; interesting may be more accurate 🙂 Bad would be the wrong choice of words as I’ve a lot to be thankful for: my arm is on the mend, the replacement car is working out nicely, etc. It’s great to be able to get out of the house and take the kids to school / walk the dog. It’s also fairly easy to get to work and, yeah, working life can be a pain at times, but it’s also a very social place – or certainly, where I work, it is. So why the use of the word ‘interesting’? Well, […]
