What a week!
Monday was so hot, I felt like I might spontaneously combust. I eventually put the air conditioner on, but first tried to cool down with an ice pack. It worked OK for a while, but you know it’s hot when the ice cubes in your ice pack feel like they’re simmering on the way to boiling…
Thankfully, it’s been cooler on other days, although still not comfortable from time to time.
My week has been up and down in other ways as well…
Another visit to the government-department-which-shall-not-be named, after a highly frustrating appointment at an affiliated department, where the “help” seems to come in the form of saying they can’t help with questions, while also maintaining that they have answered those questions. I did eventually find a human (two, actually!) who took me through the process I should be following now, so that helped a lot.
I feel like I have more direction (I tend to need things explained to me in steps to take), although I have also come out of this week feeling a fair bit older.
What’s been good?
I have a new bedside table 🙂
It’s colourful, and large enough to hold all sorts of things.
…with lovely, although mismatched, drawer handles.
The drawers stick a bit, but I think I’m getting used to them.
With the heat the way it’s been, my roses have looked a bit sad.
I have lots of different flowers inside, though.
🙂
It’s Australia Day here, although we don’t tend to do much different in our house.
I’m not going to stray into controversy in this post.
Except to say – I think it’s quite possible to want to “change the day” and still be Australian.
And also, to listen to this song.
