This...

...is a pretty accurate representation of how tired I feel. 

The worst thing is that I made a promise to myself that I would take time, as the evenings draw in, to make sure I am getting exercise, healthy food and time to myself to do things that I love, away from school work.

I haven't picked my camera up in weeks, haven't set foot in the gym or swimming pool, feel like I have barely seen B, and - as you know - haven't been blogging. Which makes me really, really sad.

Shame on me. 

I do not live to work; I work to live. 

Must try harder...

The Good and the Not-So-Good

Never mind that I have students swearing at me on what feels like a daily basis at the moment...

...I have beautiful flowers in my garden. 

And never mind that I have a pile of marking which reaches higher than my waist....

....I have sunshine and a spot of grass to sit outside on. 

And never mind that I don't get to see my boy this week...

...I had a bag of 'indulgence' treats in my pigeon-hole today. 

Thank you Secret Buddy!

I will sit and enjoy my wine, biscuits and magazine in the sunshine, with my flowers blooming around me and enjoy the good. 

The 'not-so-good' can wait until tomorrow.
