I took a few duvet days last week, and then got totally swamped and overwhelmed when I went back to work.
That’ll teach me!
I’ve been feeling a tad rundown lately, a sure sign that the dreaded seasonal allergy season upon us.
A quiet rainy weekend is in the forecast.
I just saw an ad about a place where people go to find their ‘creative soul’.
It sounds nice, I’m a little envious – I think my ‘creative soul’ may be a little lost.
Here’s to a creative weekend!

I have lots of pears and some leftover carob chips, maybe I’ll bake a pear and carob loaf…
