Off the radar...
So, I’ve been off the radar this week…woops! It’s been my first week of annual leave and although I should be feeling rested and rejuvenated I’m feeling anything but actually. It’s been a crazy week full of tradesmen doing jobs around the flat, not to mention the trauma of having to take my two kittens to be ‘snipped’ this week.
Here they are just before their little op on Tuesday. To be honest they were not happy in just being in the basket let alone being anywhere near things that snip!
They have been relaxing a bit at home this evening. Otter, my little boy cat isn't too bad, even though he is minus a pair of balls. It's Flossy, who we have been calling 'Cone-on the Barbarian'...how cruel, who is suffering. It's really difficult to eat and climb into a litter tray with a massive plastic cone on your head. Poor little thing : (
In the meantime I’ve been anything but idle. I’m actually trying to use my month off to write. As I don’t have an office in my current abode, I‘ve set up a corner of the lounge as a little office which I’ve taken a shot of for you. It's super comfy and I get a good view out of the window, which although it only looks on to a street, is a good distraction at times.
What am I writing? Well I’ve had my own ideas for some time about how we might be able to get the most out of life. Like I've said before I'm really interested in people and what motivates them. It brings together things I know about psychology but also includes some physics theory, mostly quantum, as well as some aspects of spirituality. It’s stuff I can’t really teach as it would probably be considered a little ‘out there’. I have attempted in the past to look at the potential benefits of ‘self-help’ psychology with my students, though they weren’t really up for engaging with it…what a shame.
Anyway, I’m trying to get this written as it means an awful lot to me. In amongst all this I’m just trying to get some painting done (which is the way I relax), get to the gym daily (which has proven tricky), run the business (which needs some TLC) and oh, did I mention that I have been tasked with organising a ‘pre-wedding’ party for my brother which is exactly 5 weeks from today!!!! Aagghhhhh! Today I have managed to cram in a few phone calls to people about crockery, cutlery, linens, oh, and some belly-dancers. This is quite a big party with about 300 people attending so of course as I have so much spare time I was the obvious person to help with this : )
Right, well, will keep you posted on that one. Any tips on juggling gratefully received J
Till we meet again...
