Talk It Out Tuesday
It’s been a busy time recently. I know that because I haven’t had a minute to sit down and write this silly little blog of mine. It’s now Tuesday, by the way. It is Tuesday afternoon, and I finally have some peace. I think it’s time for a catch-up, don’t you? Welcome to Tuesday Talk Time (it turns out there is no T word for moaning).
When last we spoke, I revealed my thoughts on Oppenheimer. In summary, I really liked it. Like today, it took a lot for me to sit down and write the review. I got there in the end. Then, that was all he wrote. No blogs until now. I have been struggling a lot with balance these days. I have had a good run of quality time with friends and family. The open mics will be kicking back up again this weekend, which I am very excited about. But unfortunately, this house continues to be chaotic. We recently celebrated our sixth year in this house. A lot of repetition has happened around this time of year. For some reason, Ireland as a nation decided that everything happens on the August bank holiday. I’m not too fond of this time of year because of that. Everyone in this house is off and about doing their own thing. There are countless festivals everywhere, and I find it very overwhelming. I feel like I am constantly pursuing peace, but when I finally get some, I can’t focus. It’s a vicious cycle if I ever saw one.
I will not blame anyone for my lack of productivity for a second, but everything had to change when Mam broke her ankle. Then, Pepper began experiencing her issues. Then, a lot was being asked of me elsewhere. I also wanted to try and spend some quality time with people I love, both friends and family. Fred visited on Friday, and Mam and I went for lunch yesterday. Those moments were the most grounded and fulfilled I have felt all month. I am going to a play tonight. Now that I think of it, these things show me that things are slowly turning around again. I won’t say I have been patient, but writing this today has been incredibly cathartic, and I thank you for reading.
Slowly but surely, life finds a way to go back to normal. You have to ride the waves a bit, choppy as they may be.
Thank you for reading and letting me vent a bit. Come back on Friday, and I may have some things to share. Thank you for reading, and thank you for your time.
