It.

January 31, 2011 · 9 comments

It’s hot.

It was the first day back at work.

It wasn’t the first day back at school in Canberra.

It might be cooling.

It wasn’t a good night for sleeping last night for my body or my brain.

It just made today a little harder.

It wasn’t too bad (I’m 16 days without diet coke. I want to make a month. And only the one coffee this morning.)

It’s only a four day week but a long one, with presentations and new clients and reports and large folders of unknown children who need help.

It’s gonna be fine tho :)

Ninjas!

(Amanda Palmer tomorrow night here in Canberra!! And rumours of Ninja gig on Wed night!!! NINJAS)

Rewards

January 24, 2011 · 6 comments

How do you reward yourself?

Is it food? Shoes? A new handbag?

In setting goals, are intrinsic goals or extrinsic the best way?

Shopping trip to Melbourne?

Maybe that’s it!

With 211 photos to look through, I’ve decided you can hear about my week away at Solar Springs bit by bit. And of course we start with important things, like the food :D

Breakfasts

There were more fruits on offer in a fruit salad, but I stuck to red fruit faves!

Saturday Gratefuls – Fresh Fruit and Veges

January 22, 2011

Back from a week of bushwalks, fresh food, early morning stretches and evening strolls at Solar Springs. A chance to unwind, work hard and set some health goals for the year. Grateful to have a job that allows me to take leave when needed, to save money to be able to escape.
