Nayu's Craft Time #198 Holiday time!

Am I here yet?

I'm leaving hopefully around 9am, so you may be reading this as I drive into the depths of Devon, England. I didn't quite finish what I'd wanted to on Thursday, so I finished blog work on Friday morning, leaving the afternoon to relax with anime in preparation for the long journey today. I'll let you know how much I yell at my sat nav when I'm back! 

Nayu's Craft Time #159 Lazy Sunday

Cup of tea/hot chocolate also fits well for this saying!

This is so true! Regardless of when you have your day off in the week (I realise day off may be full of household tasks rather than pure relaxation), make it a relaxed one to counteract the chaos of the rest of the week. You will feel refreshed for it, even if you only have a few hours to yourself (or less). Treasure the down time!

Nayu's Craft Time #158 Happy Saturday!

I'm still with my friend (until lunch) so I hope you have a super day!

Nayu's Craft Time #143 Necessary Tasks Take Time!

I love this nifty paperwork storage idea from Pinterest!

I'm writing this post as I sort some paperwork, which includes scanning it into my laptop and printing several copies. If you've done anything using 3 aspects you know just how time consuming it is. I'm convinced it always takes way longer than you expect, especially when you forget to add in topping up the printer with paper, rescanning an item because you accidentally delete it before saving it etc. That's why I saved this task for another day, today, as I knew it would take time and I was already tired from filling in said paperwork. 

Tick tock! Time passing would be cuter if I had this adorable rose clock!

When I've got dull/pointless but necessary tasks like this I do try and do them in the morning, as that's when I usually have vaguely more energy and motivation too. Somehow knowing that once I reach lunch time I can then relax makes me feel so much better about putting the effort in, even if I'm sluggish. I'd like to head to the post office today, but that depends what time I finish this. If I don't make it in time then it'll be a trip for Monday. Oh and I've manage to schedule a few book reviews for Nayu's Reading Corner inbetween button clicks and paper changes - go me!

Due to the time and energy this takes I won't be doing any sewing today - I may however do some crochet later, as I've got several audiobooks to review! It depends how I feel after relaxing with anime. So craft is still happening! I hope I can do a bit of editing my novel later too. 

Whatever the weather, and whatever you're up to today I hope you smile lots and have some fun! 

Some of you may be soaking up the sun with a picnic in the park!

Nayu's Thought of the Day #7 Days off are important!

I've nothing pre-scheduled for today to post here, and I am having a day off from blogging since I try to do this once a week (regardless of when I can't blog due to life). I do have to do more than decide what to drink today - got to decide what to eat with a friend at lunch (& I haven't looked at the menu beforehand...) but I do like this kind of day all the same ^o^ It's important to take time out for yourself! Go put your feet up! 

Nayu's Craft Time #119 The week ran away with me..

Good old Eeyore expresses how I feel! Picture source

It did! It really did run away! Or rather I had a few days getting my super strong pain meds ketamine through my system. Usually I feel rough for a few days. This time I felt hyper (like I used to feel) on Tuesday, rough on Wednesday, and fine but extremely exhausted yesterday. Guess I'll stop trying to predict how my body will feel and just go with the flow, something else Eeyore does.

Yes there is always something, but there's always a positive aspect when plans

Due to the volume of reviews I've been putting up this week, and to various issues that required more than a simple reply by email, this morning I haven't been able to post any reviews on social media! 

Again this is an Eeyore thing and a life thing that there is always something that crops up. Initially I

was a teensy bit frustrated because I like my schedules going to plan. I suppose it went to God's plan today, rather than mine, which is fine as He is the best planner there is. As I'm being stricter on time spent online I'm going to simply post everything on Sunday, or, possibly tomorrow afternoon after I've had lunch out with a friend (resting up lots beforehand in prep for all the chatting!). On second thoughts I try and keep Saturday's as my non work day so won't be doing that!

Days off are important. Saturdays I try to avoid doing blog work which while fun uses up brain cells & energy.

So feeling a bit 'behind' even though I'm not really. I'm sure most of you can relate to that! Plus side is getting unexpected Amazon credit due to a Kindle update issue which did muck the review books in my carousel which has me hoping that I haven't missed one out. Tomorrow I'll figure out what to buy with it ^o^

Craft has been on the backburner this week as I've had zero energy for anything other than watching stuff & reading. It's annoying but I know tomorrow I'll be doing lots of cross stitch (Yay!). I wanted to do something today but I'm still not quite on what is normal for me, plus I have to do laundry and sort my now once a month organic box, both of which need zap arm strength. Might just cross it off today's list so I'm not frustrated by not being able to do any. 

What I am going to do today is do my weekly email to a friend, who only gets a regular email because she puts together a blog post for me using the info I give her *waves at Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers*. My actual email list is a long one I'm very slowly tackling. Then it's rest with Aikatsu anime as I'm a bit too tired to play video games today. Oh & I need to sort out the stuff in my room that piled up from the days of not being able to do anything - think I'll do that relaxing otherwise I may get distracted by Other Things to do. I'd better stop babbling and let you get back to whatever you need to do!
