no way round but through

Hot sunny weather just wipes me out, and while I realise that there has been well more than my share of wonderful cool grey days this summer, when I look at today's tenday forecast and see ten little round yellow sun glyphs, with ten little "chance of rain 0%" it just makes me want to curl up and hide. Of course, that is not an option. The plants here at Acorn Cottage need watered, the kale and chard, the currants and the fig trees - everything that lives in planter-pots needs attention in the hot sunshine.

Getting ducks in a row is at least as challenging as herding cats... not done yet. This week is all about moving towards completion on various studio and sewing room projects, continuing to deal with paperwork hoops, notifying clients about upcoming changes, and carefully avoiding midday sunshine. Current is moving quicker now, swinging round towards a necessary transformation, and will be needful for focus to shift somewhat more internal for a time. Is a lot for me to manage in the next few weeks, so, there will be no Crafternoon this month (sorry).

There is a pathway, with luck to a more functional reality. (that is always the hope) I want both my hands to have full use and strength, to be able to create in media: textile and metal and glass, to be able to ride my bicycle and not be in pain. No way around this but through... so must needs be a good strong little wolf-eyed girl and while no longer young, must still with determination take care of what needs doing, so as to allow healing for what needs to be healed...
