Apr. 24th, 2022 03:57 pmTaking it slow this past week has been a massive relief on me, especially after how hectic its been since April started. It's been good though, I've gotten a lot of work done and I'm feeling satisfied overall with how this year is shaping up.
Yesterday I started to germinate some vegetable seedlings, tomatoes, zucchini, and cauliflower. I know I probably should have started a lot earlier than I did, but it happens (it is also my first year planting vegetables in a very long time so I'm not putting too much pressure on myself there). Its nice though, and I'm excited to see how they turn out later on in the year.
Speaking of projects, I'm going to have to siphon off my mead from the yeast byproduct soon. Its quite the heavy task though and I'm dreading it. Its almost 6 months into its fermentation and I'm excited to try it in August.
Its getting warmer out, which is super beautiful. I feel the warm breeze through the windows when I wake up and it's lovely to sit and watch the sunrise as always. I could probably start going out for solo walks soon because the sunrise is so much earlier now. Spring is gorgeous, and I can't wait to see and catalog all the flowers I find this year. I love pressing flowers and I have quite the collection already, but I want to start taking it more seriously.
I've been feeling a lot more relieved now that I've had that time to reset and reboot myself. As I get older, I'm learning to take things slow and steady and not burn myself out, rather keep the momentum by maintaining my limits and respecting my own needs. Getting 9 hours of sleep is so much more worth it than suffering through 4 hours like I used to. It's a lot healthier for me as well.
Mels found some decaf coffee for me, and I'm excited to try it out! I used to be a pretty heavy coffee drinker and couldn't function without my espresso, but because of some health issues I can't have caffeine the way I used to. I'm excited to have some coffee again, and I'm glad they make decaf versions.
It's been a nice little while, the only thing that could make it better is some spring rain and more flowers. I need to slap a big 'Keep Out of Direct Sunlight' label on myself at some point, lmfao 💖
Anyways that's all I have for now,
