Nothing to declare

I have about 15 different themes I could go on about today. Here's a few:

1. My work is sometimes a struggle. Life all in all is pretty much a struggle
2. I'm already so done with winter. Thank goodness it's only -5 degrees today, but the snowing has gone on for the whole day once more. I should post a picture of our garden, it has heaps up to a few meters of snow all around. One of these nights I'm just going to blow dry the whole place down!
3. It's an ongoing battle to beat the clock from ticking too fast. Food has to be done and laundry has to be washed, dishes have to be taken care of, homework needs to be done. I don't remember the last time I vacuumed the home. It's that serious.
4. I want to leave on a vacation right now, but I can't. No money, no time, not possible workwise and familywise.
5. I have lost my interest in cooking. In a few weeks' time all my enthusiasm to create lovely moments for the family at the table have completely vanished. No sauces, no herbs, no sizzling pans, no whisking or stirring. I can hardly stick a side of a salmon in the oven. I forgot to add salt. It's that bad.
6. I need sleep. Nothing more to declare about that one.
7. I have promised to host two parties in the near future, but my energy is so low that although I love putting parties together, I get rash from even planning the menu. I know that before any invitation, I would have to clean up for two days non stop. No particular interest.

Ok, enough with the whining. Here's a few pictures to demonstrate, why I'm sort of hands up today.

 

 

Nevertheless, life is good. Yesterday, I got to go to Ikea. This is what reminds me of Spring now. My little greenhouse is far from actually cultivating anything living, just plastic plants, but really, we don't have to tell any one!
