Okay, trying for a happy holiday today. It's nine, mippies can't go out really, because the construction works outside are still going strong! I can open the door, but mippies won't go far - it's scary noisy outside.
The 'happy holiday' isn't working. I just feel weighed down by 'musts'. Every 'must' feels like a heavy bag weighing me down, nothing feels light or pleasant. I'm sitting on a stash of seeds, yet the thought of sowing, watching them grow ... right now feels like just another 'must'.
I've packed the laundry away, including the towels. I've cut the apples, the bread rolls are rising, waiting to be baked. I still need to make the pie, clean the kitchen ... etc. etc.
Okay, it's just after two and the kitchen is clean. The apple pie is a mess ... it'll be delicious, but messy.
And then the power went off ... just about half an hour, but still. It is FRUSTRATING! Well, I sowed a few seeds. Parsley, Oregano, Thyme and Garlic Chives ... Alyssum, Forget-Me-Not, Chamomile, Sage ... mostly just easy-to-grow and hard-to-kill ... or so I hope!
I feel like In an episode of Columbo. Every time I finish one job, there's just 'Oh, one more thing ...' ... like 'refill the kibble dispenser', then pack lunch, then next and next and next and next ...
Half six, mippies are inside, and I still have a few 'one more thing's to do ...
Half seven and the power is dimming - not quite off, just wobbly. Lights are flickering between full and half ... weird ... and irritating. At least I've had dinner and my bath.
