i feel a bit run down so a week off to recharge is in order but today i hauled myself out of bed early as i had no food, had to go to the post office and pay a bill, and pick up a package and then to the chemist to pick up my medication and finally to buy some groceries. i don't like to take time off work but i feel so exhausted i have to prioritize my own health first and this week i will nurture myself. i made a huge pot of soup and settled down to catch up on a few things but my internet was down so that required a fix that took most of the day. ah technology and me, we just don't seem to be friends. 

in the late afternoon the sun came out and the birds started chirping again, i saw a huge blue tongue lizard in my garden, it was really big. at some point i need to plant my cactus-henge which will have to be later in the week, and i do need to arrange some weeding but for the moment i'm happy just to get cozy, watch some tv shows and read my book.
