It is currently wet season. Summer in Queensland is usually pretty rainy however I feel like this weather has been extra wet. And when it isn’t raining, it’s hot. So hot that you feel slow, sluggish, unable to be outside for more than 20 minutes. It could be the pregnancy (most likely) or the weather but lately I have been feeling extra lazy. And I hate feeling lazy. There is a special kind of guilt that lingers over you when you know you should be doing something but you aren’t. And even when you try to do it, you can’t for the life of you remember what it is.
Also, we are in a weird kind of limbo stage on our property. We are waiting until March to complete all of the major outdoor renovations we have planned (oh boy is it going to look so good!), hopefully by then this rain will be dying down and the gorgeous winter weather will be approaching us.
Also, I am waiting until Autumn has started to plant my next lot of vegetables. Summer seemed to have ruined me and my garden (or was it getting pregnant??) and for the life of me I can’t seem to get myself back out there. But I will, when it’s not so rainy or hot…
Last year was my trial year I decided. I did well, I got a lot of produce out of not really knowing what I was doing but this year, this year I’ll be better. I’ll plant smarter and stay on top of it. There is no better feeling than growing and eating your own food, it really is magic.
But again, I feel lazy. Today has already slipped past me and the most I’ve done is shower and write this blog post. Why is it I wake up with the best intentions but struggle to follow through at the moment? Is it just me or are others feeling this funk?
Perhaps today is a lost cause and tomorrow will bring more productivity (although I think it will just bring more rain). Here’s hoping anyway. The next post I write will hopefully have more productive stories from all the things I have accomplished between now and then.
