Sooo tired. Reports are done, a week to go before holidays. I am looking forward to my friends visiting from Freo and going for a week away with Andy. I have a cold, my son’s glands are up again but he has been tested and he has’t got glandular fever. My best friend from school has been away with that for over a month and I miss her a lot. Pa is struggling with his treatment. The sky is falling.
Experience tells me it will all pass.
Home fires burning
The fire is on. I have a cold. It is annoying but almost predictable at this time of year. I have to review my habits because I haven’t been doing my exercises every day, or having juice, or taking my vitamins. It is cold in the mornings and I am tired and lazy. I couldn’t work today so I have spent the day in bed. Thinking a lot about the adjustments I need to make to stay healthy.
Playtime – Not for girls!
When Andrew showed me all his toys, kayaks, camera’s, motorbike and a variety of other novel objects whose purpose is generally leisure and amusement I had nothing to show in return. Half finished crafts for my half finished home, my home itself and my kids are how I spend my leisure time. If I think about leisure time I imagine myself filling it with sleep. I have also noticed that many women don’t play silly games with pets and small children either. This is not a complaint but I think Germaine Greer has accurately described the state of my reality around play.
I especially love the line ” Your house is clean enough. Come out and play” I think that feeling, of playing, having fun, involve food and laughter with others. These things can involve work though. Mmm, I want to find a toy and play with it…
