Starting the new decade!

orchids

I have been on a one month holiday ( to be exact it has become 40days)... and I dont seem to be able to drag myself to back into the routines of daily life!
I am back in Cape Town, most of the first wave of holiday makers have left the Cape and every single person I know is back to normal- except me!
I was determined to start working last week- but there was the Cricket Test Match, hence I spent my days in the Cricket Stadium rather than making Jewellery. Having had another of my insomnia episodes after that I felt it was ok to take it slow. I got into some mystery novels that are set in Egypt at the beginning of the 19th Century. Instead of sleeping I have been reading...
Then Yesterday as I was standing at the cue in the library taking out my 5th book of the said novels - I promised myself that my summer holidays ARE over.
I did quite well with getting things done yesterday. But I had a little fall back today- its called novels at the pool.... for the entire day!
Well I am definitely trying to be better tomorrow... will be back with the corner view
Happy New Year to all of you!

I wish my indulgences were books ...instead of chocolate in any form :). It sounds like you need the time entertaining your brain. If you try to force your creativity, it may backfire. But then, maybe your creative brain needs a little nudge to get the momentum. Gee, I guess that wasn't much help! I do hope you are back in the creative swing of things soon (and the sleeping thing soon!).
