Dear Diary… I didn’t ‘do’ much today. Writing this makes me twitch a little. Most of us measure ourselves on how much we ‘do’ everyday. Today’s photo shows my alter ego ‘The PA’ having a cup of tea (inside Mikey the Mug – the little lid keeps the liquid warmer for longer). She is sat on her bible which is THE organiser. She insists on creating ‘To Do’ lists all colour coded so that we all ‘do’ what we need to each day. By ‘we’ I mean the different versions of me.
There is ‘Carer/PA for the Senior Generation’ – even the dead ones still have deathmin jobs to be completed. Then there is the ‘Writer’, the ‘Health Manager’, the ‘Company Director’ (currently redundant) and don’t forget the ‘Housekeeper’, the ‘Office Manager’. There is also an additional role which is managed by the ‘Health Manager’ and that is the ‘Chef’. The Chef has to produce menus, shopping lists and be a bit of an expert on nutrition although the rest of the team tend to ignore her advice. Another ‘me’ that is often ignored is the one that manages ‘Joy’ (remember her from Inside Out – Disney film). Joy is increasingly stamping her feet and insisting on time for creativity. As a result, she is working closely with the Writer and the Health Manager to bring this about.
Anyway, this is a diary so I better tell you about my day. Today I wrote my journal and affirmations, I went swimming, did a meditation in the sauna, popped into M&S (I know…I can’t really afford it) for a few bits the Chef had asked me to pick up, cleared a bit of debris up around the house, fed the dogs, picked their poop up, threw a pizza into the oven for dinner etc, etc. I had a drink with my friends and neighbours in The Sherwood in the evening and that was about me done.
Fascinating eh?! Oh, I did a little bit of reading – non fiction for those interested. I am not sure whether today was a success or whether I need the PA to book me in with a Therapist? Any thoughts on this are welcome – the PA has scheduled sometime for the Office Manager to check emails and social media tomorrow.
