This might be my last post before I migrate to InsaneJournal. Message for my username if you want to follow me over.
Meanwhile, list time:
Some annoying things right now:
Letter from AMI telling me they are putting up my house and contents insurance by $20 PER MONTH (I pay monthly). Isn't that quite a hike??
This weather turning cold again. I'm over it. Plus my oil heater died so I am heating a large old draughty villa on 3 fan heaters. Not all are turned on at once of course.
Having to tidy out a room that my ex was supposed to do 2 years ago when he left. It is a tip and really a pain in the butt.
Some ok things right now:
Nearly Xmas & some time off
My dog is ok after having a funny turn on Wednesday
Many creative projects in my head.
Some goals for the week:
It will be a miracle if I do anything other than that which is necessary for day to day living. But let's see ...
To cook one experimental dish
To start or continue a craft project
Maybe what I need to start is an art journal
Oh wait, I'm going to try and find the new L'Oreal gel-based nail polishes. They come in small bottles and are only $9.99 so that's affordable!
Kind of flat today and so tired. This has been a very stressful year. Many decisions still need to be made re property, study, my son L etc. But not today.
I'm trying to think of a way of honouring/remembering my mother in a concrete way - eg by getting a piece of jewellery or stitching an embroidered piece or whatever. There is the patchwork quilt but that will be a longer term thing. A tattoo springs to mind but doesn't seem right somehow. Or maybe refashioning a piece of her jewellery into something else, eg necklace? I am still thinking of getting a plaque at the Waikumete Cemetary next year - there's a wall for these for people who have been cremated through them. It would be fitting to do it about a year after her passing.
