The ‘to do’ list I left on the mantelpiece on Thursday night, is still there, untouched. I think this is how it would be if I had more time. I’d get into my head that I had all the time in the world to do things, and would just pick them up when I felt like it…. or not.
I feel that when I’m off, I lose that momentum that keeps me going. Its much easier for me to come in from work and say ‘oh well, I’ve been working all day, what’s another hour’, than having to start from scratch.
I don’t know where these last 3 days have gone…. I’ve been out a lot, my freezer is full of blackberries but the house is still a tip. Well, I did hoover up a growing fur ball (the dogs) that I passed daily for about a month, thinking I must deal with that one day. That’s all though.
I’ve really struggled to make the last few parts of the installation. For want of better words – I just couldn’t be bothered.
I’m now very thankful for the manic weeks/months I spent putting together these paper air balloons for the installation. My precious days off would have been completely stressful otherwise.
I must complete one thing on the list today though – to pack them all up ready for delivery tomorrow. But then, here I am wasting time on the internet…
These 5 days are the longest stretch I will have off for a while now as I have to save as much of my leave as I can for the group trip to New York next year. The next 6 months will be very hard.
But in the meantime…. the sun is still shining….
