So what’s new?
Well, nothing much, actually. That’s one of the reasons I haven’t been blogging. Not much happened.
I’ve been rather succesful at keeping T. and myself reasonably healthy, though we’ve been extremely tired for weeks (months? I don’t know). Covid is spreading here, but we keep our distance. No happy hours, no big beach bbbq’s.
My house is a mess and so is my garden. Thornbushes are on the winning side and papaya and moringa trees are eaten by iguana’s. Also, there’s a reason they celebrate Harvest Festival in april (the day after Easter) here. Summer is not growing season, it’s “work hard to keep stuff alive” season. I should have known, but I had to learn the hard way…
My herbs are doing reasonably well though. I have even been harvesting little bits. I’m also trying to study herbal medicine more seriously, but well… feeling overwhelmed and having a foggy brain doesn’t really help to get somewhere.
I have been telling myself I need to find a balance between computer work (part of that makes me a little bit of income and part of it just hobby) and home/garden/kitchen work and crafting (that I love) for a while now, but I had a lot of paid work these past few months. I hope to finish the last big project this week and then I’m going to find that balance. I am going to work in the blog though. At least that’s the plan.
You know, my problem is that I can’t really move from one project to another. I’m always thinking “let me finish this first, and then I’ll do better”. But there’s always something new to finish. And if there isn’t… well, wasting time watching youtube or browsing instagram isn’t beyond me (wish it was, actually). The moment I sit down with my computer, I seem to shut off all the rest and I have a really hard time to turn it on again.
Anyway… I need to go and make breakfast and then I’ll do some cleaning before I sit down at that computer again.
Wishing you all a great start to your week!
