aka R’acquel

I had a dream this morning of my front yard being swamped by iris flowers blooming out of everywhere. It was very funny to peer out of my window this morning as i got up to catch the very first one beginning to bud in real life!

It’s currently 21C, 6:23pm. Precisely the kind of day that your local supermarket check-out person is going to comment on how lovely the weather is. Yesterday was a bit similar, just a little cooler. A friend located in the Sydney area commenting on how the weather felt like summer.

We experienced early spring weather like this at the beginning of August. I do feel that the seasons have shifted forward by an entire month this year. Premature spring. The plants are showing it though it’s a pity i couldn’t keep track of the cherry blossoms in the neighbourhood last year with photos to see how it compares.

Nice to not have the heaters running for two nights in a row.

Sleep-wise, things are beginning to get on the mend. Greatly resolved by taking a heavier dose of Seroquel which has helped me to clock more hours of zz’s. I shall be more diligent with my regular dose - see if it will help to stave off the cyclical nature of this problem as it does feel like relapse is caused by not having enough. See how it goes. It’s getting under control, but something to bring up with the doctor if altered doses don’t stop the cyclical nature of relapse. While medication has been incredibly effective, checking into a sleep clinic to monitor what happens within the brain to pinpoint the physical problem is something i will be bringing up with the doc with my next appointment.

The house is in excellent order, well organised. The weekend was a refreshing time to take up on high quality rest & relaxation.

I’ve acquired extra graphic design work with website maintenance which has added to an already heavy workload. I’ll have to be careful to take my time with it and not allow it to dominate with the 3-4 other streams of focus that require my time & skill to complete.

Figured it was worth timing-out via blog to signify - 6:35pm - TIME for work to STOP and TIME for me to head off into the kitchen to cook up a nourishing slow-cooked meal for my family.

Probably best to leave things with the client and have her call me as it suits her rather than follow up work like this after 7pm. 95% of my design breifings are managed effectively over the phone. This job is begining to sound like a trip into Sydney for a face-2-face meeting might need to be implemented if the nature of the task continues to “grow” in demand. Here’s hoping it can get clarified over the next phone conversation after we both get a good night of SLEEP. *lol*

Anywayz, off to the kitchen - the family’s stomach beckons with my brother-in-law being an extra addition to the family tonight, hence - another mouth to feed. Oh well, at least the compliments of thanks for my cooking will be doubled-up. *lol*
