WELL, as of Tuesday, I no longer have a job. It's been a TIME, and for nearly a decade as one door closed I usually had another door open. We have savings and I'm willing to see the upsides to the situation - TIME. FREE TIME!
I have been busy, I tell you. Busy. Between the Festival, my 60th and the day job, plus a regular quiz writing gig, I've been gritting my teeth and getting through. It's been AMAZING but by Monday I was a splodgy mess.
Could have been worse, thanks to my incredible braineopath, I've made it through.

My Sixtieth birthday party, held at the Polish House, hence the eagle giving me angel wings! |
One of the "fun" aspects of ADHD post menopause is getting really easily overwhelmed by emotions -good or not good. So, all the amazing experiences of the Festival and the party and life in general, have been a lot. And my day job has been a struggle.
So now I'm FREEEE!! WEEEE!! I woke up on Tuesday morning feeling like a big weight was lifted off me.
I've written a long list of things I have to get done as unstructured time is not my friend. So far I have:
- updated CV, consultant profile and Linkedin
- completed and submitted the finding report for the Festival, due on 11th
- decluttered the freezer
- made leek and potato soup - the first cooking I've done myself in months
Still to do this month:
- declutter my wardrobe, costumes, and drwaers
- declutter my workroom/studio
- declutter the linen cupboard!! (this afternoon's job)
- write five quizzes
- make a big start of not finish, my Queen of Hearts costume.
So, plenty to be going on with. I'm also heading to Naarm (Melbourne) mid-July.
What are you all up to this Summer/winter, depending no your hemisphere?
