The entire month of February was crazy at work and when it died down, I feel like I did the same in my personal life. I have been feeling quite tired as of late. I don't think it has anything to do with diet or fitness - because I have been consistently eating well and exercising surprisingly enough.
I think the key issue is stress. It's something I've been working on recently. My husband and I have dove into doing things we absolutely love - which is interior design. We have slowly but surely been finishing off our house. The last few weeks have been taken up with some major landscaping.
Probably not the best alternative to relaxing on the couch. I am currently very sore from a major landscaping day on Saturday which completely wiped me out yesterday. But my soul feels better for doing some labour intensive work as opposed to typing away on a computer all day.
When we got our house, we decided to let it all sit and figure out how we would truly use our land. Did we want a lot of grass, a firepit, a huge deck, an outdoor kitchen?
Basically we want all of the above. So now we are making it happen.
We have planted a LOT of flowering plants. I want a secret gardenesque backyard. Something I can go outside with a cup of tea and a book and lose myself in the peace and beauty of it all.
So far we have laid top soil, flattened out some awful bits, done the garden bed and laid the base of our plants. There is an area for our future vegie patch and we are now budgeting for the deck. All in good time.
After the garden, we intend to tackle out pantry and laundry with all sorts of organisational inspiration and goodness. There is just something about everything having a place in the house that makes me so happy. It makes me feel like my life is in order, and that all space is used economically, rather than being entirely wasteful.
I will upload some pictures soon. I am hoping to have a cosy house with a green garden by the middle of winter.
