523. Top 5 Things I LOVED This Wk:
1. Mine and Eadie's new 8pm ritual: she puts a pillow on the floor for me to sit on while she perches on the edge of the bed braiding my hair while I read her a chapter of our book. Worth noting that Eadie has no idea how to braid so I end up looking like a unicorn with a mullet. She insists that I sleep with it in and in the morning she makes me do the big reveal when I take it out. She'll say โSee! Heatless curls!โ Apologies about my crazy hair to all my clients this week.
2. Finding a twenty dollar note on my morning walk.
3. Baking a lemon, yoghurt and blueberry cake with lemons from our friend's tree.
4. A crazy, spontaneous spring cleaning day today. I'm not sure what got into us, but I cleaned and organised the inside of the house for most of the day and my husband did the outside and the garage. A proper deep clean which also included wiping down all the surfaces and windowsills, taking all the old invites off the fridge, pulling apart the robot vacuum to get all the hair out that gets twisted around the wheels and filling up the water in my car windscreen wipers which had been empty for months.
5. A lightening of the mental load.

PS. The mental load has been palpable, probably since I got back from Bali in early July, if I'm being honest. Organising some reno's, a full clinic load, an exciting upgrade for my business, an 8 hour netball gala day, Book Week costume, buying birthday presents with Eadie for her friends. All good things -but I've had to stay organised which doesn't come naturally to me.
But as of this week, loose ends have been tied up and there will be more space! More ying to balance out the yang. More exhales and convalescing.
I hope you have a beautiful week ๐
