A weekend of quiet was planned. A weekend of peace. Husband was working and Poss having her first, long awaited, sleep over at my Auntie’s house. So, a weekend to myself.
Time to think and to process. To recover from my own holiday bounce. To find some sort of order for our home, after being away for so long. To try to adapt to another set of changes; find a new plan.
I thought I would write. I thought I would spend time online. Thought I would do some planning.
Instead, I got the house in order. In fact, the house is sparkling. Then did some shopping and had my nails done. This morning I slept late, before doing the groceries on my own and then caught up with friends. Procrastinating? Maybe.
I obviously needed the sleep, it was 11 hours. But I woke up feeling hungover, tired and unable to concentrate. Funny how a big sleep can do that. I didn’t even have the drinks last night at dinner to warrant it, which just makes it unfair really.
Only now am I sitting down to my laptop.
So, the weekend is over and there isn’t really a new plan. Nor do I know what’s going to happen next, beyond the vaguest of outlines. I don’t like this feeling, but it is what it is.
On the plus side, the house is clean and washing done. My nails look fab and I picked up some bargains while shopping. I have tidied piles of paper that hadn’t been tidied in months. Poss has returned, having completed her first sleep over; tired but she had the most wonderful time.
Ambiguity is not my friend, but at the moment, it’s my companion and I have to learn to get along with it. For the time being at least.
you needed this. See it as a necessity. Don’t beat yourself up over it.
Thanks sweets – it’s hard to not to, but I am trying to just go with it…

Sometimes, things happen the way they are meant to. Given everything that has happened recently, I say go with it x

Trying to. So hard. Not used to this feeling – am used to being the one steering the boat, not being driven along…

Sometimes the best plan is no plan .
This I am learning, slowly…

Sometimes a little ambiguity can be a welcome thing. Time for nails, a clean house, a sleep in… let it rest at your feet a while. x

I am trying – but it doesn’t sit well with me. On the up side, my nails look fab – so that is something…

Enjoy the nails and the bargains…the ambiguity will disappear with time and all will become clearer. Sometimes you just have to trust that the universe is looking out for you. xx

Thanks lovely – it’s a learning curve, but one that I suspect comes with the territory of working for myself…
