so little time

One would be forgiven for presuming that being off work would offer more time for such things as myLotting. It seems that my myLotting is now associated mostly with Bus, at least in my head, psychologically. I spent a few days in the Home & Village of Childhood, with Mumma. That was nice and relaxing. We walked by the river and saw baby swans before browsing the antique shop. I have done a lot of gardening. I know I'm getting old because I get so much pleasure from my garden. It has nooks and crannies, roses and herbs, things that jingle, other things that jangle ... it even has a mini pond - inspired by watching an entire episode of Springwatch - because I want to attract newts and toads. I don't know if they'll come, but they're welcome to. Bus is only half full. Usually at this point, it's standing room only. Spooky. Perhaps the bit actors in my life didn't get the memo about being needed today. The usual folk are here though. The pair of giggling schoolgirls, Mr Strange {not his actual name} and Curly. Bus Driver is new. I have watched a few shows on Netflix and Amazon, played Stardew Valley on the PS4, and read a book or two. I started to make a dream-catcher but gave up when the webbing confused me. Perhaps best of all, I have slept. I haven't had the pain of awakening to the shrill tune of the alarm clock, and instead my body has chosen to awaken only when it sees fit. There is such freedom from not being controlled by a clock. I am due back at work next Thursday, which panics me. I saw the doctor this week and she suggested that she tick the Phased Return box on the sick note. Whether work will accept that, I don't know. I do want to be at work, but the idea of full days makes me feel so very anxious. I feel that I should be able to cope; term finishes on the 9th July, so we're talking mere days, but still ... *panics* Also, I've been relatively pain free. All the pain I have currently I can attribute to either arthritis or the way I've been sitting, etc. I wonder how quickly the pain will return once I return to work. *sigh* I will spend today in the company of Niece, who will regale me with tales of Seaside and Camping. She does not yet know that her early Christmas present will be a real life baby brother or sister. Hopefully there will be no Adventures of Poo. Happy Friday!
