An Un-Simple Life

If you happen to be one of my regular readers, you may have noticed a small absence of late. This is mainly due to the fact that my job has been sucking up a majority of my time and energy lately, and I, frankly, have not had the passion to post.

I’m a firm believer in the maxim “if you don’t have something to say, don’t say anything!”. And that applies very much to my blogging. However, I felt the need to share my current frame of mind with you all, and so here I am.

I have been living a rather un-simple life of late, in that the stresses of work have been on my mind, and I’ve not had the mental energy to create the calm attitude I need to get passionate about things. I’m sure many of you can relate - when something takes a lot of your time and mental energy, there’s not a whole heck of a lot left for anything else. It’s not a space I am happy to be in, and I’m hoping it will change over the next few weeks. I’d love to get back to researching for my sustainable home project, and sharing what I’ve found with you all.

And yes, I will have those mushroom photos for you soon! They have been mighty tasty, let me tell you :) Especially in the risotto that Nick made on Thursday night. I have to say he is a damn fine cook!

Here’s hoping I get back to “regular working order” soon, until then, all the best…

    Hi Jess

    I know how you feel. I’ve been there, a few times.
    You always hope that it gets better again. Funny thing is when I could not see that the bosses are actually doing something to bring it back to ‘normal’ that when I ended up changing jobs.

    Most people don’t mind helping out but I have been in situations where the bosses thought that never having enough time in a standard working day was a way to keep the workforce keen…

    Well, I hope you’re work live returns to a more normal or sane pace soon.

    I for one have been missing your articles.

    Cheers
    Mark
