My writing has come back, which is a relief. A whole week without torrents of words pouring from my finger tips. I have a worry I am taking a 10,000 word thing and making it into a 50,000 word thing! :-)
Yesterday was good, I was all alone! And I still managed to get sprog cleaned, fed, and bedded, watered my plants and cooked my own dinner and cleaned up a bit. The cats got fed too, always good, and I was in bed before John got home. Aren't I a good girl? Hee hee hee.
:-)
I have been very busy on weekends and very quiet on weekdays. Aside from a continual hunger to gorge myself on yum cha, I have been happily playing with seeds and mulch. I'm about a third of the way through my ten cubic metres, I think, and I am filling up various gardens first. I have started getting digest emails from Freecycle again in the hope for gardeny stuff. If any one is in Perth and has some old trellisy stuff or chicken wire they have bumming around the garden, can I steal it? I will offer some vegies when I get some... :-)
The round of christmas events is almost complete, apart from the christmas thing itself. I am surprisingly content right now with my plants and my cats and family. I guess in a way this post is to reassure people that I still exist, haven't forgotten anyone, just I think I'm in or entering a fallow time. Just sort of kicking back, and letting things happen around me without necessarily getting involved. I can't believe we are almost half way through this financial year already.
I've been talking to tamara about spiritual stuff, which has been great, and I think maybe now I am supposed to be thinking about that while I let life bounce around me. I need to go and visit the ecoshop again, since we're now in the habit of cloth nappies (Yay, a whole week! The patterns are in place now though) and I want the compostable ones for over night use. I shredded some paper and put it into my compost heap, now I need to do the rest of the paper and then add some mulch, I think. And then maybe mix things up a bit.
Period has been very very mild, which has been lovely. My increased work around the house (as in, getting OUT and gardening and stuff) is probably the main reason, plus lots of water and fruit and veg. I had a massive food thing for a day, which is probably better than a massively cranky Calli for a day, but otherwise reasonably even month I think. It was really, really, really, really, nice to have yesterday to myself in particular, because it did match with my first day of period feelings of calmness and peace in a spiritual sense. I thought about doing some meditation and stuff, but just felt fine as it was. Balanced for a while even.
I suppose I haven't really been out since before November. We've had a couple of things here though. Does that count? And we made it to Nevryn's party. But I haven't been out and really connected with any of my friends in a while. While I think of this, I do miss a few people, but over all I'm justlaid back and taking each hour as it comes. This has meant problems, since I tend to book out our weekends like I'm my usual organized self, but I have been failing on the organized bit of things, which has occasionally stressed us out a little. But I am enjoying just being a homebody for a while.
Next year, however, is a whole new calendar. And it needs filling. *grin*

I really have been slack. I was also going to get organized and see third_monkey again too.
But perhaps one thing at a time. Maybe as a reward for finishing my current 50k word project.

I have been terribly slack and coming to the realisation that I have nothing to give away. Nada. Zip. Nothing.
Also, Boxing day we might be heading to Donnybrook but at this point, I just don't know! Yay not knowing!

I will post it again when we finish making them:-) (Hopefully today, depending on how long the boy sleeps...although, I could just do it, and then he can help me cut out the gingerbread which is also still in the fridge... )

I'm interested to see how next year unfolds given how introspective and deeply challenging this year has been for me...
eeep I didn't mean to babble, *hugs and love*
