Ten on Tuesday
1. Realizing that I needed to spend my two days off at Sorrento
Centre instead of in transport to other places was a very good thing. So I
spent the weekend hiding in my room knitting and reading. It was lovely and so incredibly needed. I missed the things that I would have been doing otherwise, but this was in my very best interest. It's not everyday that I listen to my body.
2. I found a teacup and saucer plant pot – do I need to say anything
more?
3. I have some awesome volunteers on site who are doing so much wonderful
and important work for us. It’s great and I really appreciate their presence
here. It's allowing some of our "dream" projects in our children and youth program space to be completed which is really nice to see.
4. My Summer Youth Staff team arrive in exactly one week – I can’t wait!! And yet I am also aware of the massive amount of work that I need to complete before they all get here... eek!!
5. I finally found a copy of The Sound of Music on dvd – I can’t wait to
find the time to sit and watch it. Every time I watch The Sound of Music I am taken back to the days of my childhood and the many stories my brothers, sister and their friends have of me making them watch the show... I just don't believe it!
6. It's been two very rainy weeks with limited sunshine. Alongside the unfortunate weather my back started acting up again which has meant many hours of what seems like continuous pain. It's only been in the last few days that between warm magic bags and careful yoga that things have started improving. I was also reminded that it takes a lot of energy to deal with large spans of pain so it has been good to slowly gain some of that energy back. Somedays I feel like I am 105 years old.
7. Did you know that there are birds that sing at 3:30am?! I didn't know this until I woke up at that hour and after crawling back into bed (after heating up my magic bag and successfully finding the advil at this unfortunate hour) could hear them sharing their song.
8. Tonight ended with the most beautiful rainbow that I've seen in a long time... it was a perfect and complete rainbow with a light sprinkle of rain accompanying it. A true sign of hope.
9. Speaking of hope... I'm holding onto the hope that tomorrow will be sunny. It would also help with morning wardrobe decisions. After so many days of rain and forgetting to start laundry this evening the "winter" clothing options are getting slim.
10. I think it's almost bed time... which I understand might be a sad fact even if it is reality!
