Finally a chance to stop and breath. It has been one full day. I got up early, tired but still pulled myself to the shower and got the day started. This morning I did all the things to keep the house running: talked on the phone with my mother while doing the ironing, cooked dinners for the week, paid the bills, you know the usual keep your life running stuff. Around lunch time, my guy was getting ready to leave for the new house to do some work and I have to admit I was struck by an attack of the guilts! So I put on my shoes, gave him a tonne of reassurances and out the door I went to help. I feel guilty not helping on the house, so I spent a few hours today filling putting into nail holes along the crown moulding, swept and cleaned up the house some and then mid afternoon I came home to work on the book. And the break did me some good. I felt better about the house and about being an equal partner and when I got home I was overwhelmed by a great big rush of creativity. I sat down and wrote for an hour and a half straight, all these reflections pouring out of me and onto the page, must what I wanted to add to the cookbook. Once I felt drained of it, I headed to the kitchen, prepped for dinner and then jumped back in the car to head over to the house. When I got there, two dear friends were over lending a hand painting and applying putty. I joined in the work and soon they were on their way and we were cleaning up to head back here to the condo. So thankful we have good friends who will help us with the house. We just had a great dinner and a bit of candlelight to slow us down and now I am just going to work for a few more hours and the day will be done. Ready to face a big week of work in the office and work on my cookbook. Yes I am getting a bit tired but feeling pretty motivated that I am making progress and that this will all be worth it in the end!
