Today I was grateful for a good night’s sleep. I stayed up way too late over the weekend and was feeling rather ill to boot. So I made sure I went to bed early last night and ended up sleeping for 10+ hours. I felt much better today.

Although some of that could also have been the gorgeous weather we had today. Blue skies, sunshine and signs of spring everywhere. The smell of wattle was strong when I went on my walk this morning. In my garden there are flowers popping up everywhere and the bees are making the most of it. I found a sparrow nest in my blossom bush (though it isn’t blossoming quite yet) and my tiny little daisy plant has a bud.

I felt like I was back on track today. Aside from a walk (which left me feeling pretty good), I also got some more progress on my thesis done and (even better) I’m feeling a bit more confident about how it’s going. It has been stressing me out quite a lot lately, which is no doubt the reason I haven’t been feeling very well.

I am also grateful for my sweetheart. A few months back he left some vegetarian burger patties in my freezer. It was nice to drag one out for lunch today since I’ve been so sick of salad sandwiches I’m actually having trouble eating them.

And a new book arrived today! It was recommended by LunacyBleeding and I was having trouble getting my hands on a copy. It’s been quite interesting so far.
