Taking Stock June 2015

 11301365_519639901520097_1208528964_n

 It's been a little while since my last "Taking Stock" post, and I really love writing them as I find that having one word to respond to really hones in on what actually is really happening in your world. 

So lovely people, the latest taking stock:

 

Making: Lists of things to do for my upcoming trip to Bali (24 days and counting!)

 

Cooking: Quite a bit actually, and slowly enjoying it. Huh? I know, amazing!


Drinking: Lot’s of COFFEE! Of course wine but I change to Red over winter.  


Reading: Lots of blogs at the moment. Saving a couple of good books to get into over

the holiday.  

 

Wanting: A cigarette, a smoke, a dart, you get the drift?? Tomorrow will be two weeks since I had my last smoke. I’m on an electrical cigarette (which give me my dose of nicotine) but man – I would run up to you a sniff your face if you lit up in front of me right now!


Looking: Forward to skin needling next week. Say what? It’s basically a facial that generates production of collagen and repairs skins scars, which I have from having bad acne as a teenager.

 

Playing: AC/DC every morning when I drop Ethan off to the bus stop for school,
Back in Black has been the morning wake up mantra for the last week!


Wasting: Weekend time – just when I get into the swing of a couple of days off, it’s surely back to work and Monday has come around before I can blink!

Sewing: Sewing? What? I don’t comprehend that word..

 

Wishing: Winter would finish even though it has just started (Please winter, go quick!)

 

Enjoying: Meaningful discussions with people that I care about

 

Waiting: For my Internet cap to increase so that my new Netflix addiction can be totally satisfied – I mean, how good is it??!!!

 

Liking: The smell of lit candles in the evening – my go to at the moment are Soy Candles in Lemongrass and Lavender that I bought from a local market – Yum!


Wondering: Whether the world is getting more full on, or whether we just are seeing more as we have quicker access to information…..

 

Loving: Instagram!

 

Hoping: That what I think I am and how I behave and conduct myself I actually am that towards other people.

 

Marvelling: How quickly my boy Ethan is growing up! Saw a picture of him today when he was a toddler and now he is so close to being as tall as me! When. Did. That. Happen???

 

Needing: Some Rescue Remedy to help with a teeny bit of anxiety I’ve been getting lately.

 

Smelling: Like perfume that I can actually smell since I quite the smokos.

 

Wearing: Ugg boots underneath the desk at work because its so freaking cold!

 

Following: Reno Rumble like a hawk! I am such a sucker for reality shows!

 

Noticing: The inner calm that I am more and more of. I like it.


Knowing: That all you can do is your best.

 

Thinking: Positive.


Feeling: Excited that in a few weeks our family will be going on a trip together for the first time! Cannot. Wait!


Bookmarking: The renovation list of things to do, so we can actually do them and finish the reno of the century! ( 6 years and still going ). Hold me. Actually, hold Steve, he’s the man on the mission; I’m just the coffee and food maker.

 

Opening: My mail to find $125 rebate cash back from my electricity provider. #winning

 

Giggling: To the point where I snort and cry. I love that feeling.

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 ...
