Third week on sick leave. Of course, this is not exactly ideal… but I’ll survive. I hope.
For now, I’m spending time relaxing and loving. And doing things I would normally never do — like making colour swatches for all my coloured pencils.

Or… sorting seed packets. 🌱



Anyway, I hope you’re all having a lovely time. I’ll probably be sharing less, not more. I think I need to go back to my roots for a while.
How far away are they? I honestly don’t know yet.

That seems like a good thing to do if you’re not feeling well enough to work too hard. Good to keep yourself entertained.
Yes, I think I’m finally learning that “doing nothing” doesn’t actually mean doing nothing. 😂 Sorting seeds and making pencil swatches somehow feels very productive!
Right!
Get well soon!
Thank you! ❤️ I’m trying to take it slowly and hopefully get back on my feet soon.
Sending thoughts and hopes and wishes for all the things you quietly wish for yourself . . .
Thank you, Eha. ❤️ That is such a lovely thing to wish for — I’m trying to listen a little more closely to those quiet wishes myself.
Get well soon, Ilze…
Thank you! ❤️ I’m taking it slowly and trying not to rush the process. Hopefully I’ll find myself soon.

Paldies! Tavi komentāri mani vienmēr iepriecina! Tev ir tik laba latviešu valoda!
I am sorry, I did not know you were ill. I hope you feel better.
Thank you, Maria! ❤️ I haven’t really talked much about it, but yes, I’ve been on sick leave for a few weeks now. For me, it’s something “new” to be on sick leave with visible symptoms — usually I’m the kind of person who just keeps going, even when I don’t feel well.
