Garden progress and furniture moving

We took another two day weekend. I'm so glad - I really needed it. The first day was spent feeling entirely floopy and fragile. We defrosted food and avoided the housework, doing the bare minimum and trying to rest as much as possible around E.

I feel like true rest doesn't exist any more. Even if Leo takes E while I rest or nap somewhere else, I know the clock is ticking, that it's taxing Leo, that I might be needed any moment. And when we're all together (which is the second most restful thing available) half my attention is always on the needs and safety of the rambunctious proto-toddler.

I spent Sunday experiencing grief over various things resulting from the pandemic. It hit me hard for a while.

But then on Monday we decided to take a second day off work, and I felt great! I slung E in the morning and did some gardening.

( Gardening things including bean woes )

Yesterday also contained lots of cooking. I baked cake, which turned out well - I'm enjoying getting the hang of baking which meets Leo's dietary needs. And we cooked two batch meals (kedgeree for the fridge and fish pie for the freezer, using the fresh fish from the last grocery order before it went off).

The other big achievement yesterday was a job which we've been talking about for ages, and which we only just got round to. ( Moving the rooms around upstairs )
