Two big events had quite a bit of impact, even though neither actually touch me in the current situation. DH had a serious bereavement at work and our step-son managed to throw in the towel before even getting started at his last real chance of making something of himself.
There's no better way to realise the distance between me and home (aprox. 5000 miles as the KLM flies). My brain took the week off to deal with that.
In between that mayhem, I did manage to send out a job application to the RSPB to most likely no effect. Before Tuesday, I need to send out another. No, I didn't actually work on that this weekend because I was too busy being tired while having sushi on Saturday and mom's birthday party today. Lucky me, I got to explain the situation once (twice) more to my cousins and other various guests at the party. Just what I needed.
Anyway, not to complain, we're all still alive and in (questionably) good health. That has to count for something. The glass being half full and such things.
In my last sorry-excuse-for-a-blog-post I did mention the absence of pictures. Well, here are some.
Storm Clouds
Because that's what the colours of the bat reminded me of. Both bats had greens, blues, whites and grey in them, making for a stormy outlook. It's plying quite interestingly, more on that on Wednesday.... (fingers crossed)
Suikerspin
The final object, not quite. But this is what I gifted, so it's no longer up to me what it becomes. It sure is sugary sweet though...
Eventually, this part of the blog will become less gloomy, promise. I tire myself out.
Glass. Half. Full.
