Still stressed out. New week. Same old stress. It got slightly better and then *boom*. So, I’m going to try to avoid it. How? By burrowing down with books. Because that will not solve anything but at the very least it might give me a respite. Here are five three books that I have physically… Continue reading Three books that are waiting for me to be read

35
It’s my birthday. I’m going to be the cliché and say that the years really do pass faster as I’m getting older. 35, but don’t really feel it. My boss had to check the employment records yesterday to see if the birthday list in our break room was correct – so I guess I don’t… Continue reading 35
Gingerbread cookies
Usually decorated with icing, but at my Mum’s cousin’s funeral – she got the idea to do them with coarse salt. Insanely yummy.
Housewarming
A while ago, I made a Facebook event for a housewarming party. I lacked the energy to actually invite anyone. Now the date of the event is approaching. Instead, I am having people individually over. That’s about the level of energy right now. It would be even easier to not have anyone over, but that… Continue reading Housewarming

The bank gave me a pre-approval for a sum before I went hunting, and I am actually applying for less loan than I was pre-approved for. So, theoretically, I should be ok. Still a jittery process.… Continue reading I bought an apartment

Then… Continue reading Summing up January in pictures
Advent calendar: Colour away
I know colouring books for grown-ups are everywhere. I have a lot of them myself – and the more I have, the less patience I have for doing it. But, for me, what is fun, is having a bunch of colouring books, drawing pencils and markers and having my sisters over for a colouring session.… Continue reading Advent calendar: Colour away
Nanowrimo update
So far, about the only thing I have done with success (out of the three things I am signed up for that happens in November, as mentioned in an earlier blog post) is Nanowrimo. I’m a rebel this year. I am actually not writing a novel. Instead, I am sort of journaling the mood of… Continue reading Nanowrimo update
Goals for April, and burnout update
I figured it might be time to give a little update on the whole burnout situation. Since my March goal was all about getting better, it also seemed fitting to combine it with April goals. Because I am better. Slowly getting there. It has taken a while. But this week was actually the first where I… Continue reading Goals for April, and burnout update
