So this Zen thing has been on my mind a lot, I guess, and in fractured thoughts, which has made it hard to write about. It seems obvious that after a long period of living a fast-paced, highly scheduled, over committed lifestyle for several years, that you'd burn out or at least want to slow down for a bit.

6 hours later I have finally remembered why I opened this tab to update my blog. That's pretty bad huh? Shows how scattered my brain is. And you know what this space was going to be? A todo list for today and tomorrow. Yeah. Huh ( Read more... )

Ugh. I had a day. Why do those always follow productive ones ( Read more... )

I came home earlyish this afternoon in the hopes of finishing off the remainder of my list. I was feeling pretty energised but by the time I got home, shopped for doggy food and made dinner, I was pretty beat. I still got a few more things done, and packed up, and a few emails responded to but nowhere near what I had hoped to finish off before this ( Read more... )
