rewarding me

grownup, kindness, reward

It’s been a big week – spending hours battling the annoying with an especially high volume of stupid, so today I’m making it all about me.

As reward for surviving this week without putting anyone in a headlock – and in preparation for a weekend of hard yakka in the yard, today I am:

– buying a coffee and avocado toast for late brekkie – this is a luxury!
– spending my lunch hour in an art store, then buying something lovely for lunch – double luxury
– shopping after work for some nice foods for the long weekend (which besides gardening, will be spent bbqing, cricketing and sleeping ‘cos Australia Day)

What a rebel. Does everyone else live a life that includes little rewards all the time and it’s just me being mean to me? I don’t seem to do the nice things often. I don’t spend money wantonly ‘cos need it for a rainy day – don’t waste a lunch hour wandering ‘cos errands to run etc. I think most people have a list of “needs to do” and we never set it aside to do the nice things. I know for me it’s a case of “I’ll do the nice things when I’ve finished the “. And that sucks. When I was a kid I thought being a grown up meant I could do what I want when I want. And it is, but I still don’t do it. Maybe I’m the stupid one, but not today.

Full super moon in Capricorn. So if, like me, you’ve had more than a few days of winding up layer upon layer of feelings about workload and how much you carry, it’s time to let it go and say no. #selflove #balance #release #craziness
I needed this - steak, mushie, colcannon and greens with a little “Parisienne bu-terrrrrrr”. Fabulous! And the company matched perfectly. I didn’t photograph dessert - I ate it. Sticky date pudding with rum and raisin ice-cream. Delish.
Vive le Tour!! #couchpeloton #sbstdf #trolldj
Big sky today out west and lovely in the sunshine. #Queensland #winter #scenicrim #carneyscreek
Finally in the newsagents. #tdf #sbstdf #couchpeloton #bringiton
Thank you Haven. Haven. Coffee for Haven. Haven? Haven?
If you know, you know ❤️ #tpwk #harry
Late night staples when it’s winter in Brisbane. Tea and biccies. Crochet and cricket. #hugge #comfort #crochet #blanket #tea #biccies #lords #nzlvseng
Bedlam before. Bookcase after.
New moon in Taurus.
Back to work tomorrow after a much too short break. Prep to make things a little more pleasant. Anzac slice and banana bread. #podlife
I had a great night graduating Gin School. Brisbane Distillery at West End has a cool vibe and the class room is terrific. I made an ink gin with botanicals of agave, elderberry, green cardamom, orange blossom and wild rosella. Yum. #ginschool #gin #brisbane
I’d like to thank Australia Post for unknowingly supporting my effort to be an adult. To keep is in the wallets. To shred is in the postbox. #idontknowwhereigotitfromiswear #declutter #paperless #mortgageprep
Decluttering all the things and found a print out of this amongst my “things to journal about” prompt box. This birthday week I’m taking some time to break from the stress and grind of adulting. Nature is a great healer. Thanks for the reminder @chrisevans. Water the plants. Talk to the trees. Watch the birds. Support the bees. 💚❤️🐝🌻
Let’s go Australia. #ausvotes
Pretty sky. #scenicrim #queensland #nofilter
It’s been a week, hasn’t it? I’m taking the evening to rest. No chores. Nothing for me to have to/ should do - it can all wait til the morning. #rest #timeout #reset
So that’s a lot for one day. #bnestorm #subtropics #rain
There’s a storm water drain under there somewhere. Might not need to pay for a pool now. #bnestorm #subtropics #brisbane
