No Flowers this Week… not mine, anyway…

I saw these in a neighbour’s garden yesterday but cannot find anything suitable in my own garden for this week’s Six on Saturday. There are plenty of buds appearing, so I should be able to show up next week.

Milo had another steroid injection yesterday, as his face and neck are still a bit of a mess. The results of the blood tests finally came in and they were negative across the board, so huge sighs of relief all round!

Late yesterday afternoon, a strange feeling of calm descended on the office and it felt weird, after the week we have had. I took advantage of this calm to finish sorting out the shambles on my desk. I sifted through the pile of paperwork that seems to gather every week, whether I like it or not. Usually, this job leaves me feeling annoyed and rather frustrated, wondering what the hell I was supposed to be doing. Surprisingly, this didn’t happen. I discarded some of it and sorted out the rest into order of importance, and all the while, I felt strangely efficient, even intelligent. I knew I was in charge, and that has been a while…

Fuelled by whatever was happening, I ended up sitting at the computer, investigating our Mailchimp account, the company who handle our newsletters. Something has been wrong for a while, but I haven’t been able to figure it out. Half an hour later, I not only found the problem, I was well on my way to putting it right. I was called away by my caring duties, so I reluctantly left the office, hoping this strange calm will hang around for a while.

And I am thrilled to report that it is still calm in the office today. The sky is a wonderful cornflower blue , the birds have emptied the feeders again and there is sunshine, and everything seems possible. Now that is something to write about!

I wish I could share this amazing feeling with all of you, but wishing you a wonderful weekend anyway!

      I am my own worst enemy, Jan. Every time I think I can pedal back a bit, I find something else to worry about!

    A flower spotted is still a flower image to share, whether in your garden or not. 😊 I hope your feeling of calm remain with you through the week and beyond.

    I’m so pleased about Milo’s test results. That might have something to do with your feeling of calm.
    I hope it continues into next week.
