Sunday blues

October 18, 2009

I feel melancholy today. It's been a great week of crafting, learning and fall enjoyment and maybe I'm just coming down from that. Yesterday was the bean threshing at the farm and was such a beautiful day. Then we hosted 15 friends last night for church. Maybe I'm just people drained.

The day is gray and cold and as I do most weekend home days (ie:not hiking days) I've spent a lot of time in the kitchen but without the usual enjoyment and purposefulness that gives me satisfaction of time well spent. Instead I just feel blah. Even the soap I made this morning, the quilt we hung up on the wall and the new ceiling fans Damien's installing aren't cheering me up.

I'm also fretting about the Christmas budget; I want to make and give so much more than I able to afford in terms of time or finances. And the house is still rather messy from last night's gathering and the lunch clean up await me.

Not all days are blue sky and sunshine. I think I might need a hot bath.
