stress

I do sometimes wonder if it’s just a matter of time before I snap. Or maybe that’s what the cancer was all about, and now it’s about to come back. But the bottom line is that it’s just too much. After almost two years of ops and chemo and being off work I was finally getting to where I might start making enough money again to live on, and then I lose the roof over my head. And while I keep getting up every day and doing what I can, I really am not doing very well. I lie awake at night hugging cats and feeling like it’s all falling apart, that I’m slipping into the abyss and there is no way out anymore. It scares me. It bloody well scares the hell out of me.

cats


So you know how Loki has been channelling Sunny lately in terms of taking over his comfy stool with cushion … well yesterday I was surprised to see that old whippersnapper Azar take over that place. I’d been working most of the afternoon in the livingroom and had put the electric fire on, which I guess the boys found irresistable. But clearly there wasn’t room for two on the stool. Much better when they can bask together on the sofa…

bolognese, lentils, risotto

Some might say I’m just avoiding WORK for the final SimonSeeks deadline tomorrow, but I prefer to think of it as… well okay, you got me. Of course the other deciding factor here is that Peter & I went to do some supermarket shopping yesterday and found out there was a special offer going on – for every 10 euros we spent we’d get a voucher for 10 euros (redeemable for every 30 euros spent between now and the end of January). So what the hell. We did actually need to stock up and even if we only use half the vouchers, that’s still 30% off every supermarket purchase for the next two months.

Hence, we ended up with ALL THIS FOOD that needed to be cooked and then frozen (the majority of these dishes will end up being Peter’s frozen lunch options). So we made up a spinach, bacon & mushroom risotto yesterday, and today a meaty bolognese and those fabby lentils & sausages. Tomorrow there’s a pork & veg stew to do as well.

But now that everything is nicely simmering away it’s time to bite the bullet and get the last of my SimonSeeks articles up. I mean, they’re all mostly done, so why is it so hard to finish them?? Wish me luck!

photohunt, written

Today’s Photohunt theme is “written”.

One of my fave seafood restaurants here serves everything so fresh
that their menu is hand-written every day, depending on what comes in.

simonseeks, work

Final deadline for my SimonSeeks job (the first one was in October) was today, but I got an extension until Monday. So it’s going to be busy, busy, busy all weekend. Most of the writing is done, but there are still some photos missing and a bit of polishing and fact-finding needs to be done over the next three days. Have a look and let me know how you think I’m doing (not all the headings are showing yet)…
