Its been a slow start to the week on account of the fact I've been ill. Doing nothing doesn't really suit me so I've been surfing the net, looking at blogs, checking out YouTube videos and generally trying to ignore how badly my head hurts. Daytime TV is awful. I mean really awful. I was actually tempted to go into work it's that bad!
It struck me that unless I'm making something or baking or just generally being creative in some way, I very rarely relax. People have often expressed their wonder at how I keep going. Instead of coming home, taking my shoes off and unwinding, I head straight for the kitchen most days. It's not uncommon to find me baking in my heels, clothes covered in flour. But rather than feeling flustered I feel like that's my time to think, problem solve and relax. Unless of course things are going horribly wrong. There's nothing like 12 burnt cupcakes to destroy a persons mood. Alas I had no vanilla and, along with the constant throb in my head, this would ruin any plans of cakes, cookies or anything else delicious. I decided instead to take some pictures. It's been far too long since I used my camera. Last September in fact when I went to Madrid!!!! I really should have taken some pictures of the snow, especially since the view in my new home is far superior to the last. When I think of how stunning the shots could have been...
Rather than dwell I decided to dig the camera out and take some shots of my new road for my new blog. Camera, found! Battery, dead! Again, dusting myself off from what was clearly a major traumatic event (I'm ill and this often makes me slightly dramatic) I decided to charge the battery. Only to find half the charger missing. My minds eye pictured it, plugged into the wall of my hotel room in Spain. Cue massive sigh and a roll of the eyes.
Music! Music is my trusty friend and since I spent so long importing and de-duping everything on my iTunes I decided to turn the TV off and stick my headphones in...NOPE! One of the buds broke (is that what they're called? I mean I don't really care at this stage but...). It looked fine. I couldn't see any wires sticking out. It just wouldn't play any music. Check.And.Mate. I finally accepted defeat, ate a Kitkat and got back into bed. So my blog is still picture-less, my stomach is cake-less and I need to buy a new charger, a set of headphones and some vanilla.
Relaxation never felt so good! Hahahaha. Nevertheless, my head now feels much better and I will be back in work tomorrow (and no doubt confronted by a huge stack of work). Pictures will be up as soon as I don't have to sketch them myself.
