I've been feeling down and drained lately. It really has been a crazy few weeks and I'm quite happy to have gotten out of it, somewhat intact! I think : work + me getting older = a grumpy me :( It was my B-day last week and for some reason turning 27 was really getting to me. "This is really old," I thought, " I'm SO on the WRONG side of 25." But the day came around and to be honest, and with a little smile on my face, I can say it was wonderful. Everyone was so sweet and kind. My desk was filled with all sorts of lovely things that various people had gotten me. Typing this now I feel really silly for not taking a photo!!! Anyway, I don't think I'm the type of person who actually cares what I get, just the very fact that I'm getting something is huge for me. I get excited and giggly just looking at a wrapped gift, but, luckily, this year, everything I got was something I loved. However, because I'm as excitable as a puppy, eveything became somewhat overwhelming, in a good way. I suppose that much attention can get to one. Now this, no doubt, added to the exhaustion I'd been feeling for awhile and this week has been lovely because I'm starting to settle a bit. There's just been so much happening around me lately and I'd become so concerned with all of it that I decided I just needed to spend time alone, in my pjs, watching QI and eating!
If this is not the remedy for a worn out soul then I don't know what is. I have a plan of action, which includes making yummy food and eating it, with no sense of decorum or shame! I'm excited because one of the gifts I received was a pestle and mortor, something I've wanted for ages, and I'm planning to try out some recipes. This post is really just a heads up as I'm going to record my food exploits/disappointments(hopefully there won't be many) and put it up here. However, because I'm very good at making plans, but not so much at keeping to them it'll be interesting to see what comes of this weekend :)
See you Monday!
