Sometimes everything seems okay

It’s a Sunday morning. The kidlet and I have been relaxing in bed with the iPad for a while, and are now up and about. He’s currently (slowly) eating breakfast and playing with trains, while I am on the computer, having eaten my own breakfast. Spotify is running 80s radio for me. The husband will be back from a fishing trip later on today, and everything seems okay.

I caught up with an amazing friend yesterday, which is a huge part of why everything feels awesome right now. I am just so utterly blessed to have some of the people in my life that I do. I also feel relatively on top of things – I’m going to get stuck into editing Never tomorrow, I have a nice list of admin type stuff to be done. I just feel like I’m getting things done and moving on with life (levelling up, maybe?), which is always a great feeling.
