Handwritten Post #2
Hello, everyone! It's me again, trying to just nudge and shuffle my brain. I've not written a post in a while and I hope that through this, I can jump-start whatever spark left in my brain...
Damn, I am really still struggling to organize my thoughts.
Summer's been excruciatingly hot. Depressing.
Summer in the desert is not really fun,
We can't go out, not unless we want to burn. But now that the season is taming down, I hope we could at least start having more outdoor activities, soon.
Anyway, I wouldn't say that there were not any attempts to dish out a post every now and then, but as my wall would suggest, I've failed. MISERABLY. 19 days!
What the frik is that? Even curating had been hard for me recently. Goodness.
LIFE LATELY.
It's just the usual boring stuff. Work at night. Homeschooling in the day, and trying to get some sleep in between. Then there's the kids who'd been sick. My youngest is currently on his second round of antibiotics.
He's had cough and cold since the beginning of July, and were now close to mid- Sept!
Then a few weeks ago my eldest and the middle followed, with the middle also needing a week of antibiotics.
Then finally, me. Dry coughing for a week, now and bundled with menstrual pains the past couple of days. Bahhh! Really tough!
Especially last night. It' was hell.-
Up to the challenge.
So yeah, I guess I have to challenge myself to get back onto the old track.
I haven't exercised in like forever.
I think I need to start with that then work into budgeting whatever little time I have left in a day to do something more. Like a Hive post.
How about you? How are you doing?
Stay amazing,
Arlyn ❤️

Love the illustrations with the writing!
I searched through my scrap cupboard for a suitable notebook to use. I found one I had originally dedicated as a Kitchen Diary at the beginning of December 2018. I can't remember what happened to it: there's one recipe!
Hope you feel better soon and everything is about making the one next step.
Don't we all have thay one notebook?! Lol.
Thanks! I really do hope so too. I think i'm much better today, and will be ready to take that one step next. 🤩

Absolutely fine. Thank you for dropping into the community! :)
As for me, I've ended the day with a headache, after spending a few hours in the sun helping friends re-string their clothesline. It was an elaborate exercise in learning as we went. It got done, though :)
Argh, working under the sun for hours is definitely a recipe for a headache. Hope you had a good rest afterwards.
