I wrote this title thinking about the house renovation but actually, it relates to others things going on in my life and my current mood of late.
Firstly, the house. Now that we live there, we are constantly working on it but lately I’ve been looking around thinking ‘come on, when will one room at least be half finished so that I can go Instagram crazy?’. I love the house incredibly but after so many huge things happening, like the doors being installed, plastering, having the fire installed, putting up the shower screen pales in comparison. However I’ve realised that you just need to take a sit, pick up your phone and look back at the pictures and how far you’ve come, which is a long bloody way.
Second of all, I don’t know if it’s the change of clocks but for the last couple of days I’ve felt really restless, like I should have done or be doing more. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I feel like I’m underachieving in some way; isn’t it time for a promotion, shouldn’t I be earning more money, couldn’t I have done more on the house in my spare time etc. I know I’m my own worse critic but I’ve really felt the pressure recently, but only the pressure I’ve felt on myself.
So for now, I’m going to be a bit nicer to myself, take the pressure off and treasure the memories I make like walking around Batsford Arboretum with my loves and kicking the leaves.
