30 minutes
February 15, 2017
Start timer…
Sun shining, birds chirping, ducks splashing, wind
beating the house (seriously chill out!). What a time to be alive!
Do you know what I did today?
Today amongst other things (absolutely nothing
important or exciting) I vacuumed my lab coat.
Like actually! In the process of vacuuming my room
I had the somewhat brilliant idea to try vacuuming my lab coat. So down onto
the floor and under the vacuum head it went. It was surprisingly effective…
Why do you ask?
Because the lint build up from the last time I washed
it was so horrific that something had to be done. I don’t think I have ever
seen such a rainbow of little bits of fluff on any other plain white garment
ever. That and the only lint rollers left in the house are the reusable
ones that need washing in warm soapy water to regain their stick and are
currently so clogged that they no longer collect any lint at all (my fault but
I don’t actually trust that they’ll get their stick back anyhow).
And also because it's almost that time of year
again.
The time of lab coats, lectures and deadlines that
lead to really unhealthy working hours...
That's right, University is almost back!
And as much as I'm looking forward to having a
little bit more structure to my weeks and maybe something to fill some of the
void-like hours that have recently appeared in my days, I also don't really
want to because it's never an easy transition from relaxed holiday mode to
busier university lifestyle. It's like a hurricane and at the moment I'm in the
eye of the storm.
It's quiet, too quiet. (Apart from, of course, the
neighbour's rooster which is in a competition with another neighbour’s rooster on
the other side of us and their squealing pigs, which, in all seriousness, is a noise
worse than listening to fingernails on a blackboard!)
But maybe the change is good; currently, the
biggest excitement in my day consists of almost choking on a really awesome
brownie salted caramel slice I made yesterday and watching what felt like way
too much YouTube whilst knitting so much that I gave myself a blister. The
thrill is unimaginable!
…
And there goes my timer, 30 minute of my day, shared freely on my blog
because the post I intended to put up is on hold AGAIN.
All because they changed the setting on my favourite photo editor and I
can no longer make text bigger than a certain size and that has left me
fighting with two other editors, one of which required access through the
university that I'm just about to unenroll from. The excitement is real!!
So...
My hope is that your day is filled with far more interesting things than
mine. I’d love to hear if you’ve done anything more thrilling than me in the
comments below.
