Right now I am…

:: feeling exhausted

:: knowing that’s what February makes me feel like every year

:: trying to get (some) things done anyway

:: frustrated because I want to do so much more

:: smiling because I know that if I’d allow myself to list what I wanted to do today, I’d realise that it’s just too much. I am not superwoman… 😉

Right now I am…

:: fondly remembering yesterday. Theo and I skipped work (one of the benefits of being self employed and working from home), went to Rotterdam to lunch and look around in some shops, and then we drove to the coast and sat in our favorite pub at the Scheveningen boulevard for hours, talking, drinking (some wine and lots of tea), eating diner, listening to some life music. It was fun. It was needed.

Right now I am…

:: watching the birds

:: loving it

:: wondering why they never allow me to take pictures of them eating. As soon as I pick up the camera they fly away.

Right now I am…

:: enjoying the beauty of these winter days

:: slowing down

:: but forgetting that’s what I wanted (I’ve been so frustrated to day at the slow pace I’m going)

:: trying to remember that slowing down is a good thing

:: and that slowing down means that you can’t get a week’s work done in a day (oh wait, that isn’t possible anyway)

Right now I am…

:: thinking I need to slow down and take a deep breath

:: or actually that I should have done that two days ago

:: knowing that unplugging for the weekend usually works just fine to get back on my feet

Right now I am…

:: in need of some extra sleep

:: staying inside because it so cold (but sunny)

:: thinking I should go for a little walk. Maybe.

Right now I am…

:: keeping my fingers crossed for my make-up artist to be who is having an exam today

:: feeling restless

:: trying to relax

:: finding joy in the sunshine that is pouring in

Right now I am…

:: enjoying lots of sunshine (through the windows, cause it’s really, really cold today)

:: looking back at one month of daily photographs and only two of them that I really don’t like

:: happy because one of my photographs was featured on shuttersisters 365

:: trying to get myself to do some housework now

:: quite sucked into the story I’m writing at this moment. Which is great since I already sold it (the new writing gig). I’ve set myself a deadline for halfway March, but at this rate I may even finish it this week…

:: going to do some vacuuming before I allow myself to get back to that story

Right now I am…

:: cold. Winter finally began here. It’s even snowing (a little bit).

:: tired and busy. So, nothing new 😉

Right now I am…

:: giggling because I always manage to plan a very busy workday when all the other family members are “sort of taking the day off”. Oh well.

:: still getting some work done

:: wondering how much I’ll share here about my new writing gig. I have one. That’s probably all you need to know (it’s in Dutch)
