Now that I’m back in the saddle, I’m hanging on. 11 more days left in the Ultimate Blog Challenge. Do I have it in me to finish? My cold is still hanging on. Frustration doesn’t help it go away. I’m learning that I have to let go to loosen its grip on me. It isn’t though. I feel like standing on my head. Not being able to, I don a mask and took a short walk around the garden. The mask keeps the cool air out and my throat not so dry. The short walk provided a short reprieve for my discomforts.


I haven’t gotten very far with editing this website. Now is not the time to do it. It will only add to my frustrations and make my hair stand on end. It’s hard to resist though. We’re all addicted to pushing buttons. And before you know it, a whole bunch of time have past with no good results. I’ve only pushed a few buttons. I’ve stopped.
I am feeling a bit better. Having a chrysanthemum tea and a snack. They hit the right spot. The way to a woman’s heart is also through the stomach. I will wind this post up, pick up my knitting and watch another episode of Vera. Murder mysteries is also a balm for me.


Sounds like you’re doing some really good self care. And that’s exactly what I need to do for me. Journalism is exhausting. I need to let go and let myself just breathe sometimes. Like today.
Best wishes with the last 11 days of the UBC. It will be good for both of us.
Thanks, Alice! Take care, too and good luck with finishing.
I hope you feel better soon, Lily!
What are you knitting? Maybe it should be socks for yourself?
Yes, feeling better, Tamara. Thanks. Knitting a hand towel. Easy peasy. Just knit.
