I cannot shift this pain despite taking ibuprofen and having plenty of water. I have tried to be gentle with myself. I have done lots of ironing and some cleaning. But several times I have had to go and lie down on my bed because the pain is making me feel so ill.
I only mention this because I usually make some time on Sundays to catch up with replying to the lovely comments that have left on the posts that were scheduled while I was at work this week.
I am just finding it hard to think straight with this head thumping away. I will get there in the end!
This one is not so much a sweet little headache, it is more of a bullying brute!
This could be the BEST theme Jim has ever picked. Although his themes have been getting BETTER over time. They’ve progressed from GOOD to GREAT! See what I did there. Yeah – moving on!
I love blatantly picking a song that reflects the mood I have been in recently. I feel shattered by June. Well…here I am shamelessly picking another song that pulls on the old heart strings. There is one particular line in this song at me that always jumped out “learning to love again”.
I often think about the past five/six years. The situation with Jack and I was so strained five years ago, so damaged, so dire…I don’t think the two of us would have been able to repair it back then even if we had tried.
In some ways I needed to let him go so I could heal. In some ways I needed to learn to love again. Meeting Goldfinch helped me do that. Realizing it was ok to be fine without Jack, letting myself smile because I deserved it – that was all important and it all took time.
Timing is often a big factor in the make or break of a relationship. Jack came back into my life right on time. The broken hearted Caramel had been separated from Jack for over four years by then…and a lot of healing had occurred. Caramel was ready for Jack.
I am so glad he is back. Next weekend, his 14 day quarantine will have ended and he is coming over!!! He has given me a shopping list of a few items to find for his BAKE-OFF ideas. I can’t wait!
It’s taken a long time…but Jack is back where he should be.
It’s been the longest winter without you
I didn’t know where to turn to
See, somehow I can’t forget you
After all that we’ve been through
Going, coming, thought I heard a knock
Who’s there? No one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn’t know
If you didn’t notice
You mean everything
Quickly I’m learning to love again
All I know is I’mma be OK
Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile ’cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time
I couldn’t turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings?
If I’m dreaming don’t wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that’s the path
I believe in
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn’t notice
Boy you meant everything
Quickly I’m learning to love again
All I know is I’mma be OK
Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile ’cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time
Since there’s no more you and me
(no more you and me)
It’s time I let you go so I can be free
And live my life how it should be
(but I know, but know)
No matter how hard it is I’ll be fine without you
Yes, I will
Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile ’cause I deserve to
Yes, I do
It’ll all get better in time
Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
Gonna smile ’cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time
