Mighty

I have come to the conclusion that me and change are not the best of pals. I'm feeling all unsettled and very unmotivated to do anything other than stare at my phone these last few days.

I forced myself to leave the house eventually this afternoon, we took the girls to the car park to ride bikes and then over to the play park. The sun was out so it was nice. John and Pickle came too. Bea had a try without stabilizers. She did it but was quite frightened, she just needs a bit more confidence. We'll try again another time.

Back to normal school routine tomorrow and I have to go to the office 2 days this week which I'm kind of dreading. Its not a huge change so I ought to be able to handle this, I guess I have become a bit less resilient over this last year and have just about exhausted my tolerance for new routines. Give me a week or so and I'll be fine I know that, I'm just indulding in some grumpiness today.

Pickle was quite playful today which was lovely. Bea was teasing him with some sticks and roots I had dug up and he was chasing her and chewing them. It was lovely seeing them play, I kept having to remind Bea to be careful though as he does have sharp teeth and can have his mad moments.

Had a lovely cuddle with Mighty this evening too. I've had so many pets over the years, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils and so on and I was saying to John tonight that I think hamsters are one of my favourites. So low maintenance to look after, no smell and very tame and sweet little creatures.
