thanks Queenie for 4 days

I live in London and no I am not in Jubilation mode except that I thank Queenie very much for working for 60 years so that I could have 4 days just to catch up with myself. 

My day job to the max 

+ plus making some life plans 

+ plus trying to see man on tour 

+ inlaws here from Australia 

+ frustration that art hasn't been front and centre 

= Amanda in the clingon stage. 

So much relieved to climb down from the cliff face on these 4 days and notice that am breathing and human and to sleep and eat what I like, to do what I want, and to watch and make into the lovely hours of the evening.

I can't say it has been an easy 4 days as Friday night my head was in work buzz, Saturday and Sunday  to really feel my toes again. Stage 2 - working not to beat myself up for giving myself over so much. Stage 3 -  reflection on being in the midpoint of the year move on to new space where I I go pick up all the pieces and move towards what I know is really important to me.

On to the highlight of the month - very exciting news, it was worth a midnight application in the edges of time from day job, I have been selected for the Bow Arts Open show in the Bermondsey Project Space- super YEAH!!
