February 2021 In Hindsight

This month, I have been exhausted from being back at school. It took my body a good week or two to resettle back into the usual hectic routine. I was either coming home for an afternoon nap or going to bed by 8:30 pm each night. My body was done. So not that much reading or listening to my favourite podcasts and no energy to write as many blog posts.

So my February looked something like this…

Listened to - 

* created a January 2021 playlist on Spotify

* The School of Greatness Podcast

* Ten Minute Teacher Podcast

 Read - 

* Anxiety Rebalance by Carl Vernon

* New City by Deborah Abela

* The Sight Of You by Holly Miller

Splurged on -

What's new - 

* My phone’s storage is full so have deleted many apps and now deleting photos and podcasts to free up more room. Its annoying. Is that a sign to get a new phone?

* Home improvements this month - weeded the garden, potted more plants, got rid of all old blinds off windows. Bought a bar stool set for the upstairs balcony from Marketplace. Now growing strawberries, mint, spring onion, garlic shallots, basil, plum, sweet potato. My boyfriend started the Efudix cream for his face so was not in shape to do any work around the house this month
