wide open spaces

now that there is just me in the house i can see how big it actually is. with half of the furniture gone it feels enormous. guess i'm pretty lucky to be able to have so much space to myself!!

been pottering around the house the last couple of days because i haven't been well, tonsils flared up on sunday night and wiped me out on monday morning. my bodies usual manifestation of stress, telling me to slow down.

been running a bit, in my head that is, and the desire to get out of sydney is still strong. go in two weeks for a holiday so i'm hoping that will help me get both distance and perspective from everything that's been going on.

been pretty lucky the last week because my ex has left the computer with me until he is settled into his new place, not that i've been using it that much because i'm trying to wean myself off.

not quite sure yet what to do with all this me time, haven't had it in so long that i end up in front of the box contemplating projects and decorating ideas to make the space my own. it's fun but feeling a little entropy creeping in.

although i'm also grateful that i'm not totally alone, still have the dog and cat with me, and i've been spending time in the park walking the dog. was a bit nervous about that because of my back and the dogs ability to pull too much on the lead and cause me injury but he's been so good for me; very confident that things are going to work out just fine.
