creating more time

  

 

"If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month."

Theodore Roosevelt

Some of us just come up with the best sayings, hey? Wise words from a man that died nearly 100 years ago and yet boom, still so relevant. 

So I ramble on here and on my Facebook page quite a bit about feeling burnt out. Even in my "about" I talk about forever searching for the elusive catch up on sleep that I have seemed to never catch up on since pushing out a couple of kids. I talk about the stresses in day to day life and my hate/hate relationship with my washing machine. And clothes folding, And anything related to folding them and putting away. 

Get me? I'm a whinger, but a doer at the same time. Oxymoron anyone?

I was sitting on my lounge over the weekend, headphones in watching the BEST SHOW EVER - Gilmore Girls, and glanced up to look out to my kitchen area. 

Kitchen

Steve has spent the last 8 years renovating our log cabin. The inside of our place is completely different to how it was when we got the keys. Walls have been moved, paint changed and the final project on the inside was finished last year - that being our kitchen. 

Steve and I are both adhoc type of people - whereas we usually don't ever have set plans, in life and especially in renovating. Which works well for us - but has its downfalls. See we are brilliant at starting things, we get excited and pumped about a project and then do a little and then the motivation dies down a little. You know Dory from Finding Nemo? A little like that. 

So back to sitting on lounge and watching Gilmore Girls, the inside of our home looking a might A+. I had a bit of an lightening bolt moment, moment. 

What if we finished off all those little jobs that were started outside and DID NOT START ANYTHING NEW FOR THE NEXT YEAR. 

????

Yeah, freak out moment. But a challenge in itself. 

I wonder whether we could do it. Not start anything new for one whole year. It would definetly free up the limited spare time we have by not working on projects around the home. We may even have more time to spend together - as a family. 

You don't say!!??

Do not write blog post when you have had a couple of wines

 It's been a bad day.  Not a travesty, but a day of anxiety, overload of emotions, countless puffs from many a ciggies and all in all just a bleh.  Where the fuck has 2020 gone? How did we get from free world to lockdown and oppressions and wearing masks???? I  burnt my 2020 planner, close with my 2020 diary, because why the fuck, hey? Let's just write this year off as a mistake on a humanity scale and start fresh in 2021.  Funnily enough, I bought a $4 2021 diary. So there may be hope. My beloved is struggling. Which  means that I am struggling, Seeing him in pain, no sleep, swelling joint agony, depression and all the things that entail chronic illness. I'm at a loss as to how to help him, I just sit and be with him and tell him every day that i will be by his side till the rest of my days.  At least 2020 has shown us this: What actually is important in our life, What actually matters, like really really matters,  The latest model car o...

Is it Saturday or Sunday?

 It is just before 6am as I sit here on my back porch watching the sun slowly rise for another day. What day is it? #isolyf has got me all confused to the day, date and month. With so many of us wishing and wanting “more time”, I have found myself getting bored of being bored and the motivation bug seems to come in slower and less frequently. How the world has changed in the unprecedented times, hey? It seems that here in #straya, we have quickly adapted to the powers that be and in the matter of weeks have become accustomed to the lack of interaction and movement. Does that concern you? How quickly we have been able to conform? I had to delete Facebook off my phone a few weeks ago as I was constantly checking #scomo and Googling “coronavirus” every other minute. The information overload brought on confusion as well as fear and I was working around feeling like doomsday was coming. The best thing that I did was switch off. The establishment news was only regurgitating stupidity ...

Tyranny, Censorship, Fear and Questions

 This post will most likely be banned on any social media accounts I share to. Censorship has been coming in hard and clear – even more so in the past few months. While I have been indulging myself in all seasons of Gossip Girl, Tiger King and Real Housewives of Anywhere, I have also been digging deep with the help of some like minded souls into Science Censorship, Liberty stealing and heart wrenching conformance that has been occurring around the globe. In many ways, 2020 for my little family has been positive. Deleting the last few days of a polar blast over the southern states of Australia bringing Winter overnight with freezing, blizzard winds and rain that was howling sideways over the rooftops. Other than that, we have had some wins here. When #Covid19 came to light – I had my fingers peeled on Google repeat. I was watching every single news article I could find, hitting refresh on all the latest updates on Facebook, the big five News establishments as well as TV. It was ...
