Back to business

Well, there we go. Another birthday done and dusted. I must say I am always quite relieved when they are finished – more so the older I get. I’m not sure what exactly about a birthday I don’t seem to like so much – the fuss, the focus, (which is weird given I spend my entire life making everything about me!) the expectation that it’s not/or is living up to something – who knows? I am just relieved it’s done and dusted for another year. And I think Rob is too given he was spruiking “It’s not your birthday anymore sunshine!” to me this morning. May have been an indication he was glad it was over too?! Yes, I think so.

It’s raining here today – cold, slanting, windy rain. Although it’s looking like spring out there, it’s most definitely reminding us that it’s still winter – for a few more weeks at least. I have had the most productive morning – don’t you love those? Daisy trotted off to Preschool and Rob up to Sydney for a meeting so I had the place {almost} to myself. I cleaned, I changed sheets, I washed, I filed paperwork that has been sitting in a pile for 6(!) months, I booked trips to Melbourne next month & QLD the next, I sent emails, I created a media kit (ha!), I paid bills…I just got stuff done. And it feels great! When I am in one of those moods I just have to run with it as they are few and far between and if I stop and sit in front of the fire (which is likely to happen in the next few hours) I’ll just stop. And do nothing else and before I know it, it will be 5.30 and there won’t be dinner for anyone. So, best I be off to get some more stuff done. WHY IS THERE ALWAYS MORE STUFF TO DO?

Before we go, a little taste of my happy place. My local pub, Saturday afternoon with my sister having a drop of bubbles by the fire. NO kids. NO husbands. Just us, nattering….heaven!
