Hold please caller…

Well, it’s been a while. My initial plan to have a weekly blog where I review or analyse (tbh I was never that clear myself) an episode from RHOAMS season 1 just hasn’t, well, panned out. I have started an intensive Dutch course and that takes up three mornings a week. I then try to fit in some study in my free time. With this new venture added to my existing roles as household manager and mum, I really have little time for anything else. I still like to watch TV but it’s for shorter amounts of time - say 1/2 hour at most. And, in no way have I felt the desire to re-watch ROHAMS and analyse it. I’m also finding that when I have some down time, I prefer to read a book (no, not on my kindle app but one on actual paper, typically a library book) or listen to a podcast. My brain just needs space to relax and recharge. Watching TV is just not what it used to be for me. After reading a book for fifteen minutes versus looking at a screen for fifteen minutes, I feel, á la Sheila, housewife from season 1 of ROHAMS, more zen. It may not always be so. I will not always be studying. But, then again…The course ends in November and by then I will need to move into scheduling, planning and packing for our December visit to Australia. I think I need to revisit the purpose of this blog.
