I’m still easing into this new year, I think. I’m not sure about it so far, to be honest. I spent a week very ill in bed. Then we had a week of intense heat. And now we have this week and I’m feeling a bit peaky, post heatwave. I think the lack of recuperation time and the lack of sleep has me on the run down back foot.
Still. It’s so easy to say I’m not sure about this year, right? But really, the days should stand alone… It’s a bit dramatic to be talking about this year in cross terms just yet. Let’s just say there’s been some unfun days and take those on their own merit (or lack of.) I don’t want to catastrophise. I don’t want to be 2014ist. I’m sure it’s all going to turn out GREAT in the end.
Lots of good stuff has been happening, despite the illness and the heat. Let me tell you more. (And pop over to see Kate’s version of Taking Stock, too!)
