Crash and burn

https://butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/

I have been doing too much 

Just living my life is apparently too much 

Have slept for over 12 and I’m still exhausted 

I won’t be doing much of anything today 

With complete exhaustion comes the feeling of being overwhelmed 

Thus the poem yesterday 

I should of read the signs 

You would think after all this time I would know 

But I didn’t 

So now I pay 

Trying hard to find a few spoons 

Poetry time

Wanting freedom 

No way out 

Even though I can scream and shout

No one will listen 

Or understand 

Why I would even want to escape 

They do no see it 

Can not comprehend 

 My life is perfect 

Have no reason to complain 

They don’t understand 

Because they can’t perceive 

The bars that bind me 

Are hard to see 

They are not made of steel

Fortified with hate

Nor are they intended to subjugate 

They are ribbons of love and connection 

Responsibilities binding me to attachment 

This prison Im In is one self made 

For I created the world I live in 

Although I’m content most of the time

My soul sometimes dreams of a life 

Where I can fly! 

Written by me. Just now 

see ya xx

Intervention pending

Have been busy with the Christmas decorating 

Today I went shopping with three ladies who are veterans at this 

I got a few bargains 

But my children think I may need an intervention 

I think I’m got Christmas fever 

Something I’ve never had before lol 

But it makes me happy and melody loves it 

Stay tuned for the next chapter 

See ya xxx

Fire wood weekend

This is some of the fire wood we gathered from a friends farm this weekend 

We did one trip yesterday, filled the trailer and the back of the ute 

We did another trip this morning 

Hubby will sort this out and come autumn will start to split it ready for the fire 

The trees were felled a while ago so are almost dry

They will completely dry out over this summer 

Not a bad weekends work 

We were very very low! 

We will do a few more runs before the summer really kicks in and it becomes too hot 

Then rest till autumn 

You never know how long and cold winter will be

So it’s nice to know we are getting prepared 

See ya xxx

Getting more festive

Today Diane and I put this “small” garland up lol 

We are so tired. But omg how good does it look 

We were very proud of ourselves 

There are four six foot garlands from lincraft 

Everything else is from the reject shop or similar cheap shops 

So we did not spend a fortune 

We just don’t. 

So what do you think? 

I’m happy. 

I also got the polar express from woollies 

He fits perfect around the fire place 

Now I just need batteries 

A great days work I think 

See ya xxx

11/11

LEST WE FORGET 

Christmas is coming

Christmas is coming. I know it only November, and usually I’m not even thinking Christmas 

This time of year 

My friend Diane has promised to help me decorate. 

So as we are so busy over the next few weeks we thought we would start early 

I put the trees up on Saturday so we had a head start and got all the baubles organised 

So today went really smoothly and we finished much quicker than we thought we would 

Don’t the trees look great. She has a talent and she loves Christmas so very much 

The tree with the elf is the one I had. A fibre optic one. 

When Diane saw that tree last year. She told me in no uncertain terms that it was not good enough lol 

That’s when we got the two big trees   This year I have added more decorations 

Here she is busy deciding what goes where she is very meticulous

I have the nativity set up on the wood box and a Christmas village that I will add to this year. 

I think Bella decided to visit and chat with the locals lol 

It only took her about five minutes to decide this was her spot lol 

Diane has a few more plans for my place lol 

I’ve got some Christmas mats and some cushion covers 

It’s going to look very festive in here 

Lord save me! 

The grinch has been converted lol 

It’s fun when someone as enthusiastic as Diane is makes you come along for the ride 

How early do you start? 

Can’t wait to see your pics 

See ya xxx
