I am having a lazy day today on my own in the house. I was supposed to start another painting but have been on YouTube listening to music. I think i might not be painting anything at all today. Mike has gone to the City to spend some time in Games workshop playing the morning shift of their table-top game. And i was thinking i was going to be good and get lots of things done while he is out of the house but i just ended up doing what i want instead. Its like all my motivation just went out the window.
There has not been very much happening with the house since last time i wrote. The only two slightly bigger things what that our cook top needed fixing, it had a bad connection in the back so it kept tripping the power. It is fixed now but that meant we were without a cook top for a week and a half.
The other relatively big thing is that we attached the bookshelves to the wall. We finally had all the bits and pieces to make it happen, including an electric drill to drill through the bricks, and screws to actually attach the shelves with. So i managed to empty about 5 - 6 boxes of books that we had standing in the spare room wardrobe. It feels nice to have that space back now. there is still boxes laying around but they are slowly but surely getting organized and put away. The next step is going to be us sorting out quotes for blinds and organize the garden before it gets too hot. It would be good to have all those things done before November.
Back in May i was talking about a book i had started working with. To focus on my progress towards my dream life. I think its working. Its keeping me a bit more motivated to go and do the things i have set out for myself to do in the time frame i have given myself to do them. And being the third month in to the project i think the hardest part was to figure out a way for me to actually do my set out tasks in the time frame i had given myself. At first i planned it so that i actually marked my tasks in the calendar, but that didn't work. Because i kept forgetting to check what i needed to do. So now i check my tasks when i have a gap of time and decide what i am going to try to work with. Then i write it down in the calendar to remember at the end of the month to be able to have a catch up at the end of the month to see how well I've done. It also does make it a lot easier to share my goals with mike so hes aware whats going on, and he can help me in the right way if i start to get distracted.
In the past week i have also booked our holidays. We have decided that we are going to go to Melbourne for a few days and just see a lot of things over there. I am looking forward to it but i feel a bit withdrawn about flying again. Its strange how the brain works really, but i think that the last flight was the worst flight in my life, and it kind of rubbed itself a big mark on my experience and anticipations of flying in general. For unknown reasons when i think about flying it just keeps coming back to how i felt sick sitting there and knowing the reasons i was even on that flight in the first place.
