We left the house to the joy of joys when about to do the school run to find that foxes had been at our food waste bin with the contents all over the place this morning 🤢 There was out of date, congealed scraps and vegetable peel everywhere which Woody thought we'd best tackle before we left so that added to the fun and games of the school run first thing!
It also felt like a real moment that we're now thankfully at the end of January being that today was the 31st! Although I'm not sure this month felt quite as long as it has done in the past, albeit with 'eleven more to go' as a colleague said today it made me reflect and think it shouldn't be just getting through the year but actually living in the moment of it.
As always the reminders of why that's so important popped up on our phones today with George chemo pole surfing while connected to his drug infusions plus this day's fun and games back during his year of cancer treatment including a James McAvoy celebrity visit! ...he was so kind and spent a good bit of time with us ❤️
But clearly month one done and I'm pooped as I nodded off on the sofa once the kids had gone to bed / after work earlier this evening. Then again I'd presented to Googlers globally at a climate conference so I'd imagine the adrenaline fall out had kicked in after all of the excitement with sustainability being something I don't focus on but have an interest in at work. (I can already hear the life coach I spoke to the other day talking to me about taking on another thing - hah, you've got to laugh, especially as I tell people you can do anything but you can't do everything 😬)
Between us we've got this.

Accessibility Visual Description: Tonight's photo shows Woody sweeping up food waste with the boys watching on, then them all hustling to do the school run. George is pictured coming out of school tonight with the sky looking bright behind him, as well as at football practice taking off his body brace to play this evening. There's then a photo of him playing with Hollywood A lister James McAvoy, a picture of the three of us together, followed by one of him riding on his chemo pole while hooked up with Woody pushing him around the hospital corridors.
