Life's no picnic

Today we went and visited our very dear friend Kedron at a house she was house-sitting and she treated us to a delicious lunch including this bread pictured and a mouthwatering pasta al fresca.  We even got to pick raspberries from the garden and put them our drinks.  The garden was amazing.  It's inspiring to see what people can do with a space.

I don't mean to whine but I've really been struggling lately.  I'm exhausted and most days can't drag myself out of bed before 10am.  Understandably, this puts pressure on Marolyn to cope with the breakfast routine by herself.  I just feel sapped of all energy and have got very little done around the house.  This compounds the problem as the house is a tip and looking around and trying to get things done in a mess is demoralizing in itself.

On the plus side, I emailed my old boss to say Merry Christmas and she called me right back with wind of a job opportunity.  I don't really know anything about it other than it is part-time but it is exciting to think I might be able to back up my business income with some regular hours of employment.  Now I just have to wait for the contact person to get back from leave so I can find out more.

It might seem strange that while I'm struggling with this lack of energy I'm pursuing work outside the home.  I actually think a work routine would do me good.  I think I need some stimulation and the chance to focus on something other than cutting up apples and stopping the toddler from eating rocks - her favorite activity right now.
