Borough Market and Busy-ness

I had a meeting to go to on Saturday near Borough Market and actually took my camera out with me for once.  I even went to the Tate Modern for a little while and spent some time just wondering around looking at the changing leaves.   It felt fantastic.   I sometimes feel like in the busyness of life I forget what sustains me and that is my art.   I feel better when I have taken a photo, listened to some music, gone to an art gallery or a theatre trip.  The arts are who I am >>

Rehab

So...My partner checked into a rehab facility about a week ago for alcoholism.  I can't believe it actually happened though because I never thought he'd get help and I never thought we'd find a way to pay for it.  Rehab aint cheap.....£5k a week more like it.  We tried to go through the NHS to get free help but because England has this lovely drinking problem it does the waiting lists are insane or are meant for people who are far less severe than James was.

Les Miserables Easter

Its Easter break and Les Miserables is in town.  Greenwich is always popular for filming.  Last time I've seen a set this big though is Pirates of the Caribbean when they were here filming the last movie.  Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe are in the film....and apparently they are singing.  I've seen the play on the west end, the movie with Liam Neeson....do we really need another Les Mis movie?  The set has me curious though and its always nice to see your little village in a major motion picture film>>

Keeping my head together

As you can see I've been pretty absent recently from the blogging world.  Any energy I've had I've put it into Scentsy and to keeping my head together.  Its been hard to do that frankly because I feel as if sometimes no matter how hard I try, how much effort I put in....I just can't seem to change things.  I see others who try 1/2 as hard as I do (well it seems) and progressing further and quicker.  I don't understand why it seems so difficult for myself to earn a bit of money.  Getting a job and my name doesn't seem to add up together >>

Christmas and Quiet Days

I've been kind of withdrawing these last few weeks, recouping my energy from a very busy 2011.  I've slept a lot and maybe its the January blues.  I always am very reflective this time of year and probably far too hard on myself of what I have and what I haven't accomplished or what the new year will bring.  The truth is I don't know but all I can do is focusing on the best I can do each day which is all we have anyway.
