This week I don't really have much in progress that is worth showing off.
I'm collecting pieces to re-vamp my Tank Girl costume from a few years ago to wear to the local Comic Con this weekend, plotting a costume for Joe and Acorn that I hope to be able to pull off in time (my husband will tell you, I am the Queen of Last Minute Costumes.), and have started coloring in a coloring book I bought a few weeks ago.
I've been suffering from a pretty bad case of the "I don't wannas", the blahs, lack of motivation... whatever you prefer to call it. I'm in a little bit of a low spot emotionally, and for once I'm just floating along on the current and letting it be instead of fighting it. It actually made the whole thing a lot easier to deal with and I feel a lot less drained.
Go figure.
Today though, I had a pretty big burst of energy this afternoon, so I started deep cleaning the kitchen. It doesn't look like much from the photo, but I scrubbed out the dishwasher and have it running an empty cycle with vinegar and baking soda to further clear it out, did the sink full of dishes by hand, swept and mopped the floor, cleaned out the fridge and wiped the counters. All during nap time!
Later on, I want to finish up the dishes, wash the windows, clean out the freezers and *maybe* the junk drawer. But right now, it's a beautiful day and I'm off to play with my son. Housework can wait, like it's been doing. :)
I'm still plugging along on my all-in-one copy of The Lord of the Rings. I finished the Fellowship of the Ring last night and think I'll hold off on beginning The Two Towers so I can watch the first movie in between. When I first watched the movies, it had been years since I read the books, so it'll be interesting to me to see how I feel about them when the book is still very fresh in my mind.
Maybe it'll be like Harry Potter and I'll love them both. We'll see.
They slightly re-jig the films to make the story finish on an exciting bit between movies, which they don't do in the book, so you can have little cry in the movie and then on the book too!!!
ReplyDeleteI read a book called moontime by Lucy Pearce which talked about energy levels during our monthly cycles, and how it can really help to take it easy when our energy ebbs and go for it when our energy levels are higher. I cant believe i didn't notice this before my 40's - unbelievable! Anyway it sounds a bit like your piece above and i found that little nugget really helped me make the most of the strong days and relax into the slow days.
