Friday...

Well another week is nearly over, & it's been a pretty busy week. At the start of the week, I celebrated a birthday, only quietly with close family, but it was good. 

It's school holidays here in Australia, & the twin foster girls I care for, are eager to get back to school. They are 8, so I don't expect that eagerness in the coming years. So we have completed the back to school shopping, with all the flurry of smelly pens, millions of pencil cases, erasers in all shapes & colours, it certainly was an experience & somewhat overwhelming for the girls, being that the most important decision they had to make was 'which school bag?'.

I have also been somewhat productive, with my sewing/craft room basically completed. Remember the chalk paint I got, I finished the table top & my kitchen dresser, which now stores my fabric.

Here are some crudish pictures-:

Still alittle unpacking to go, but at least I can use it now, just need to decide what to tackle first.

I fill you in, on how I go, in the next post. Before I go, see the bird hangings on the windows, they were made by the girls for me at school, they were sweet & a good introduction to sewing. Their school is only a little school, but teaches the kids some life skills, like sewing, cooking & gardening with live chooks too. Something most schools don't do, certainly not primary school.  Bye for now.

Saturday

 Why hello.... Long time no see...

Sorry about my neglect, it's hard getting into the whole regular life, and consistently blogging. I wonder if any other bloggers have the same issues upon starting? It certainly would be great to hear other's struggles upon starting a blog.
I can't even blame time, upon getting sick and having to give up work, time has become more abundant now compare to life before sickness or (BS) as I like to refer to my life before, mmm wonder why that acronym looks familiar..

The reality is, I'm limited in my activities, due to my oxygen saturation plummeting upon movement, the easiest way to understand this is to hold your breath whilst running on the spot, keep holding your breath and notice the effects on your body, hard isn't it. So lots of things are really hard to achieve now compared to BS. In turn I'm tired, all of the time, and time and life passes quickly when you are asleep. I have a lot of time on my hands, but unfortunately, it goes by very quickly when you sleep like I do. As envious as that sounds, it is sad and sometimes quite soul crushing. I think I will leave this post here, with the notion that "living life is a blessing" ... Hopefully talk to you soon
