Day to Day: Mum's Birthday

Things have improved since my last post and it's been busy. We had one of the boy's kid sister come to stay with us for nearly a week, it was nice to meet family and such and she's a good kid. It's solidified the fact that we should never procreate though.

During the past week, however, was Mum's birthday. It was a bit rough, I had a good cry in the morning was fairly low mood for most of the day. I spent most of it gaming on the couch but I cooked some comfort food that I ate a lot when I lived at home in the evening. That cheered me up a bit. And of course the capitalism of one of the guys bringing me a present home alongside Tangled and Hercules DVDs. We Disney'd so hard this week. I had a brief moment of guilt over me getting presents on what was my Mum's birthday but I realised I was being silly and it passed. It was nice to have the understanding that it was going to be a weird day for me and the allowance do just do what I needed to to stop myself getting lower.

I got some relaxation stuff from therapy and it recommends Yoga or Tai Chi. So I went to HMV and got a DVD and starting doing some Tai Chi. It's quite nice really but I'm considering classes as the DVD is kinda hard to work from. Ends up Southampton has a School of Tai Chi not too far from where I live so I'm going to enquire about class prices since the beginner ones start up in the next few weeks.

One nice big shiny good thing of the week is we got to see our Guinea Pigs :D We went to the RSPCA rescue centre near us (by near I mean 30/40 minute drive but it's worth it) and we found a set of three. The hutch, run and supplies all arrived today, we just need to pass the home visit and we're sorted :) I really recommend the RSPCA places, they're not too harsh on your application and they have lost of animals. We had a peak at the dogs just for fun, there were so many beautiful breeds and they were all really well kept. Makes you a bit sad that they're there really. If you're considering a pet in the future then please look into the RSPCA or other such rescue centres! They give you lots of information too. The one we used is The Stubbington Ark they're also on twitter! Finally getting the piggies sorted out has been a real pick-me-up. I think that having pets will help my mood quite a bit!
