week 31 recap

listening to: falling - julee cruise

phew! it's been a busy week back from holiday, hit the ground running. the keeping-things-neat and tidying-to-completion is working well! it's not taking up all that much energy to make myself do it anymore so i decided to add a New Thing - language learning. time to start integrating (he said, three years after moving...) alas, flemish lessons are few and far between, so i've been trying dutch. happy to say i'm progressing quite well with glossika's a1 level. i think it's well constructed, they're doing comprehensible input well, very motivating.

i've also made important phone-calls and emails, moving Big Things forward (health and home stuff). feeling a little wary but you know, you just have to Do The Things, why wait around until you're less wary? time passes! i'd rather have things done sooner.

feeling good about leisure, enjoying the library books (august blue by deborah levy and galápagos by vonnegut), watching shows with the partner (poirot and leverage). i've formalized the art-ing, collage and poetry got their own notebooks. even browsed the tarot shelf for inspiration, but it hasn't been quite enough. need to do more tarot. (feel free to email me for a free reading, big or small!)

overall a mundane week, but still an admirable effort, considering the everlasting heat. august, my beloathed... wish i had something more exciting to report. for my sake as well, daily stuff can get daunting. maybe the next post will be a Big Example Tarot Reading?

doei voor nu!
