Happy Tuesday!

I decided to skip the Monday Miscellany post yesterday for Bank Holiday reasons. So here is is on the first official working day of the week. How are we at the end of May already? I still don’t feel like it’s actually summer yet but we are 22 days away from the longest day, I feel that summer is winding down before it’s actually started!

Last week was a busy week, work was all about catching up and I’m about to take on some new work things. This has been in the pipeline for a couple of months and is dependant on some other things happening. It should be quite interesting but will require quite a bit of learning so I’m using the waiting time to clear the decks a bit and get into some routines that will free up some time.

I’m not fantastic with change and 2023 has been quite unsettled already. Look, I know that some change is good and necessary, I know that most of the change happening this year has been good and necessary, even so, I find it difficult to cope with. The changes at work are also good and necessary but that doesn’t mean I’ll find them easy. Rather than stamp my feet about it, I’m taking steps to help me cope, at work and at home.

At home that means just trying to clear the decks and get things in the flat sorted. Right now that means, catching up on laundry and housework. I’m on a mission to tick everything off the list. Adulthood really is dealing with one thing after an another until you die, I wish I’d known.

There are good things, this weekend that was a visit from Tom and Ivy, it’s always lovely to see Tom and Ivy is a sweetheart (once she warms up to you and banana muffins do help with that!), it also allows me to remember how amazing child development is. I saw Ivy in January and five months later she’s almost talking in sentences. It’s wild.

Tomorrow, I’m off for the day for haircut. I can’t believe it’s come round so quickly, last time, Jane cut my hair to see if we could encourage the wave in it. We’ve managed that and it’s strange because I think it’s a noticeable change but no one seems to have noticed it. It’s also a big change to how I care for my hair, I haven’t used the hairdryer in a month although I think I’ll need to get a diffuser for winter, my hair takes a while to dry and I don’t fancy doing that when it’s cold.

The rest of the week is pretty quiet, I don’t have any major plans for the week or the beginning of June, although there are a couple of parties coming up at the end of June.

Have a good week!
