An Adventure Walk To Discard The Blahs How We Halved Our Time Spent On Emails!

Possums,

I am quiet at the moment. Have you noticed?

I don’t have much to say. I’m just quietly rearranging my innards.

Here’s some dot points of brain fartage:Read Primary School Confessional by Mrs Woog. Made me feel less alone in all the weird parenting freakouts I have in my brain like JAYSUS WOT THE FUCK HEADLICE and DID I JUST TALK TO ANOTHER SCHOOL MUM OR WAS I JUST GUEST STARRING IN AN EPISODE OF REAL HOUSEWIVES.I’ve been learning from a bunch of e-courses and books currently. The doodle above is what I created while listening to a 40 minute lecture today. It’s the same symbol I have on my arm.I’m on my third or fourth re-read of Tessa Dare‘s Spindle Cove romance novels. To me, they are perfection. They have become my comfort read.I honestly feel like I’m in a bit of a rut. I might need a new creative project or 21 day challenge to perk me up. I’ve been thinking about doing a no spend challenge. That’d be fun, right?Everything here is totally fine and I adore my family AND I also want to run away into the night. You know what I mean? Sometimes the lack of spontaneity and play time is just crushing. Usually when I’m in this kind of mood, I can shake it by going out with my mates and laughing until our sides ache. But we’re kind of lockdown adjacent at the moment, and I don’t feel comfortable going out. In a few weeks we’re off on a long weekend to visit an old country town and see my in-laws (as long as Covid behaves itself, of course!) I’m hoping a bit of a change to our routine and seeing new things we haven’t seen before will be the balm that is needed.The Great Pottery Throwdown is still the highlight of my family’s day. The 2021 season is especially cracker. I fucking love the giant hulk of a judge, Keith, who cries when he sees beauty. And the new co-judge is that gentle hunkaspunk Rich who got promoted from a non-speaking gig in other seasons. The new host is (from Derry Girls) who is hysterical and I’d like to adopt as my BFF stat. And they have a trans woman on the cast now! All in all: fucking wholesome. I was actually squealing on the episode when they did naked raku firing. Apparently, I now talk in ceramics.

THAT IS ALL.

Big hugs,
