Getting up to speed

I am struggling to shake off the indolence that my New Zealand cruise sparked inside me.

I normally spend every waking moment frantically typing at the computer or racing around like a whirling dervish.

But post-cruise I find myself sitting on the sofa and staring into space, doing not much of anything.

You would have thought three weeks of lazing around would have rebooted my energy levels, but it’s just left me longing for more down time.

I have become an accomplished time waster.

There are so many things I know I should be doing, but I can’t be bothered.

I need potting mix from Bunnings but I simply can’t be bothered getting it. I need to vacuum and mop the floors in my apartment but I feel too weary. I need to order new blinds online for my front windows but I keep putting it off.

I made myself get out of the house early on Friday morning to go and watch the sunrise on Avalon headland. It is the most stunning spot to start the day …

I loved house sitting at DD’s and being surrounded by silence. I am a compulsive talker and it felt relaxing not having anyone to compulsively talk at.

Put me in front of people and I literally cannot stop babbling. It is exhausting.

However, it was lovely to welcome DD home from London on Saturday night. I really missed him after spending our longest-ever stretch of time together while we were on the cruise.

Fortuitously I had booked a hair colour on Saturday afternoon before his return so there were no grey roots at the airport.

On Sunday we ate noodles, went to the beach for a dip and pondered where our next holiday destination should be.

I hope you had a good weekend.

This week is going to be a big one for me at work. Wish me luck! And best wishes to you if you’re facing a workplace hell ride too.
