Work continues to be taking up the bulk of our (Tress and I) time and energy. On most days, we come home drained. Tress has had to pick up the dinner duties and she also does some laundry as well, especially if the weekend has been a wet one, as was the last one.
I really want to crash out early on most weeknights to unless it is a good day and I get home by 7, I have at best, 2 hours a night after work of which I have to spend about 45 minutes getting ready for the next day (pack lunch, get stuff ready). The little time I have is spent either on preparing some church stuff or catching up on happenings via facebook or watching the tele. Often I’d do all 3, alternating from one activity to another.
Tress would often be so zonked out that by the time she gets to put her feet up, she’d slip into dreamland in no time. Kiddo seems to be caught up with school work recently and is often tied up in the study when we go about our activities in the kitchen and in the family area at night. She’d join us in some tele programs for a bit before crashing out herself.
Last Saturday was glorious. It rained all day. On Sunday it continued to rain intermittently and later that evening as I stood at the lounge room and looked out the window at the parks across the road, it was enlivening to see slightly luscious shades of green. Our lawns too have taken on a healthier green compared to a month or so ago, when the drought browned out the landscape.
Recently when all 3 of us went out for walks we have also noticed the flights of lorikeets around the neighbourhood. They are brightly coloured and although very noisy, they are a joy to behold. They ooze life and activities which reflect abundance and purpose. Tress and I love watching them. Kiddo seems less impressed though – maybe she is just cooler than either of us.
