You may remember I was wondering if Rosie would be there for class on Wednesday, well, she wasn't. ( cut for length )

Yesterday I took Bodhi to school again, but as James had a day of annual leave in, we didn't have to walk there. Which actually caused more stress as we didn't realise the main road that leads to the school turn off is closed atm, so we had to drive to the next town to do a huge circular detour to get there.

I dropped B off at 8:30 then had an hour to waste before Yoga class, so we went to the nearby Starbucks and had my first hot pumpkin spice latte of the season. Drank that and James dropped me off before going home while I went to class.

I don't know if a downward dog is the same as a dog stretch, but the instructor said we were doing the former last week, and the second this week, except with an added stretched up leg. Then with the help of blocks and bricks for height, most of the class balanced on one arm and one leg, while I remained on both arms and contemplated my life choices.

I did enjoy the class, and went for the coffee meet up afterwards before James picked me up and we headed to Durham and the cinema to watch The Heart of a Beast, and omg, that film ( cut for huge spoilers, and talk about dog injury )

It's another craft fair tomorrow, also Pauline's birthday so we'll be calling in at hers after. It's the fair in aid of Consett Cats and the one held in the vets so I'm not expecting big sales. But, as long as we get some money to help the cats, that's all that matters.

It was the monthly maker's market on Saturday gone, and it actually went well. We more than made back our table fee, though any profit was reduced by spending at the other tables. Including the wax melt people who'd brought their cat again, so of course I had to buy some more wax melts. I also got some discounted bath bombs and a Demon Hunter hair bow for Bodhi, and while the cake lady wasn't there, there was a baked goods stall, so between them and the usual raffle and tombola contributions, bye bye extra profit.

Yesterday was Bodhisitting and she came grocery shopping with us before we did the soft play and dinner out combo again.

Soft play was nice and quiet apart from a small birthday party gathering of younger kids, so Bodhi enjoyed the space and I enjoyed the relative for soft play, peace. Though B was adamant I should go up to the second level with her, prompted by the fact a couple of other grown ups were up there. She even stressed the slide to get down was wide so my bot wouldn't get stuck. Which, admittedly, was true. The problem was, to get up you had to climb up some blocks that went through circular gaps and I really didn't want my Sunday plans to include getting wedged at a soft play.

There was also the crown situation. The birthday party guests were given cardboard crowns, and Bodhi really wanted one, too. Sadly, the woman in charge said they were for party guests only, which fair enough, it was worth asking. Thankfully, Burger King, where we went for dinner, came through cardboard crown wise, the woman behind the counter there giving Bodhi a handful of the things, which she then wore for the rest of the day.

The autumn tv shows are well underway now with All Creatures Great and Small back, Bake Off starts this week, Celeb Traitors in a couple of weeks, Celeb Pottery Showdown, with Layton, on now, and on Saturday, Strictly was back! I do still love that ridiculous sparkly show, and am enjoying the new presenters and I'm sure will enjoy the new pros when we get to know them more.

I've caught up with Ted Lasso now and ( cut for spoilers )

I had a bit of a scare and thought I'd lost my engagement ring last night. I've worn it on a necklace for years now, and last night woke up to find the chain had snapped and my ring was nowhere to be seen. I knew it had to be in the house somewhere as I'd seen it before going to bed, but couldn't actually feel it anywhere in bed.

It was about four am when I made the discovery, so it was really dark but I didn't want to put on a light and wake James, so did some patting down of the bed and pillows, but nothing. Unable to settle, I eventually got up and thankfully, found my ring at the foot of the bed. Well, I say found it, I stepped on it, but the end result was the same.

Today I went to the actual yoga class, and I enjoyed it. ( cut for details )

Gerard hinted at potential new MCR music. Awesome. I can't imagine it'll be soon, but I can be patient. I mean, I'm still patiently waiting for Nsync to finish their hiatus which started several lifetimes ago.

I went to see two films over the weekend. Practical Magic 2, which was good easy watching, and The Fall 2, which was very tense watching! Though, with an ending that ( cut for spoilers )

I saw the physio about my rotator cuff again yesterday, and was in all of a few minutes. It was a new PT and all she did was give me a stronger band to use, increase the set of exercises I've been doing to three sets three times a week, and say to go back in a month. Where, if there's still no improvement they'll arrange a pain killing injection.

Then today I had an appointment to see the doctor for a follow up about my tremor. That's not really improving that much either, but he's not concerned saying I'm still on a low dose of the beta blockers so can keep going up for a while before trying something else. So, now I'm on them three times a day and then back to see him in a month, too. Where, if no improvement he's going to contact a specialist for advice on trying some new meds.

So yeah, two anti climatic appointments, really.

Weight management class isn't on again this week, but is back next Wednesday, though the email also said that the Monday exercise only sessions are cancelled until further notice. That does make me wonder if the main Wednesday sessions are back with another instructor as they didn't say Rosie would be back, just the drop ins would be back on. I hope that's not the case, but guess I'll find out in the Friday email.
