My life is pretty much a routine and I for the most part stick to the same likes and dislikes until I suddenly remember how much I used to eat overnight oats with coconut milk and wonder when I stopped even doing that.
In light of the current lives we are all living, i.,e "different in some way", this is what seems to set my world on fire these days:
- Working from home - now this one is fortunate really for me and the pets that see me as the new patio door opener each and all morning. I love being in this setting to work.
- Riding my horse - since lessons reconvened Ducky and I have invested in at least two a week. Actually I invested the $$. he turned up. Its been a wonderful and enjoyable journey as we have gone from shite at jumping (mostly me) to pretty confident and almost "good" at a small course. Lessons are out again at the moment due to Covid and I am trying hard to find the silver lining to this.
- Listening to a podcast called Take The Reins that I listen to as soon as a new episode is out. There's also a book available by the host that I really want. I can download it to my Kindle for something like $5 at the moment but I would rather the signed $30 hard copy. That way I can take it everywhere with notes and stickies all over it at the parts that literally SING to me. Never has an author /mentor affected me this much since the Baby Whisperer when Chloe was born.
- Making our home Christmassy for the season. I am wholly into this like never before and even bought a couple of red holiday cushions from a local store. The quality is perfect and I love supporting local but I am still a little taken aback by the $$$ for these things.
- Making bread and dough and cookies still. The cookies disappear so fast that I need to teach the girls how to make those damn things.
- Listening everyday on FB to the morning Fish Monster report from Key West. the Fish Monster is a boat and the report is by the captain. My favourite is when he takes a walk down Duval Street. What I would have given for this daily little insight into paradise in 1999/2000 when I was first smitten.
