Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 211: Reading

After an emotionally exhausting full on week or so, today was a chill day with much reading ...

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 152 - Lots of reading and sunsets

Reading, sunsets and shots of my room. Quite a nice day all round ...

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 106: Spent a lot of time with The Rosie Project

I have made it a point to read lots of books this year and the latest recipient of this renewed focus on my love of reading (sadly neglected in recent years) is The Rosie Project, a wonderful book by Graeme Simsion.

It was a grey and rainy day too which made it perfect for some afternoon reading on my bed with the balcony door open.

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 56: SO MUCH DONE

BUSY DAY!

Got a ton done - 3 blog posts, jobs searched for, cleaning, reading, exercising. felt good to really nail a lot of things on my To Do  List.

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 54: Chilling, reading ... and #lightthedark

Steve had to work again so spent the day at his place reading (Existence by David Brin) and blogging ...

and then Steve cooked up a delicious Nigella Lawson recipe of chicken and vegetables on brown rice ... YUM!!

And then we lit candles for #lightthedark, a way to remember Reza Berati who died in the hell of the detention centre riots on Manus Island. There were physical demonstrations around Australia but we lit our candles at Steve's place, and I tweeted and Facebooked our participation in this vitally important event.

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 260 - Flat as a pancake

Up in Newtown and found out a hoped for interview wasn't happening ... so was naughty and turned to comfort food and comfort reading ...

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 253 - So much to do ... really

Reading and blogging and Ellen oh my! (Plus cleaning, job hunting Parks and Recreation s2 watching.)

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 248 - Ebay-a-thon day 1

Much ebaying was done today ... along with the usual flurry of social media-ing, job hunting, exercising etc ... and seeing Mortal Instruments: City of Bones in the City with Waz (lunch at MYER Foodcourt) ...

... and my gorgeous guy came back from Bathurst tonight and we had dinner at Smash Sausage Kitchen which he paid for ...

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 197 - Sick day 2

Another day confined to bed - bar trip to the doctor and to the chemist to get medical supplies, and 1 1/2 hours spent setting tweets and Facebook posts for work again - during which I napped lots, watched Ellen and finished off the last 250-300 pages of Shift.

And as an unexpected treat, Steve dropped over with "medicine" aka a packet of Lindt balls to help with my recovery (it was an enormously sweet touching gesture, made all the more impressive because he drove from his home straight after work to deliver them and then turned around and went home again - he's the loveliest man EVER and I ADORE him).

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 141 - Day off hurrah!

So glad I took the day off!

I slept a full 8 hours, got up, cleaned up some more around the lounge room and my bedroom, and did some on the 'net, before getting in to bed to read ... and as it turns out nap for an hour! Yes right into Ellen!

Got up for a lunch of Eurovision leftovers - Matt Astolfi's vegetarian lasagne was delicious! and yes more meatballs and Swedish coloured cupcakes - before two more 1/2 hour naps, more reading and the watching of the lastest episodes of Defiance, Revolution and Grimm with Aidan ...

Lovely restful day and much needed.

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 218 - Lazy day sleeping and reading ... PERFECT!

While my beautiful man went to see the Australian Chamber Orchestra with his friend Alan, I lazed at home. I was planning to throw some things onto Ebay for sale, write a blog post and ... I was tired so I napped and read.

Mission accomplished for a lazy Sunday.

(And no I didn't take photos of myself chilling so once again Lol Cats will play the part of actual photos I didn't take)

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 206 - Reading

I was planning to see 2 movies today and have lunch with Justin and go shopping but ended up tidying up some cupboards (trying to find a software disc for my guy), reading LOTS of a new book, The Long Earth, and snuggling in bed on an overcast rainy cold day.

I feel so relaxed right now. SO relaxed.

(also I had a great chat with Justin about how exhausted and stressed I am and I realised that I am trying to do too much and throwing all this stuff at the wall hoping things will stick and not even enjoying the blogging anymore. So from now on, I am simplifying ...)
