Autumn

I'm finding it hard to post every day, but I'm going to try at stick to it though, I really think it helps me clear my mind. There's so much going on in my life that I can barely keep up. Went swimming again yesterday with a bunchbof my friends, which was pretty awesome. The nice thing about swimming, is that for a while you're working out, , doing your own thing, but when crossing a friend do aknowledge eachother from time to time or get a wink in encouragement. I'm finding that I really enjoy that balance between being alone in your head, being busy and being with your friends.

Had a rough day today mentally, though. A bunch of work had to be done, and I haven't been paid yet. I had to have been paid over a month ago but things keep going wrong, which resulted in me not having money to buy fresh vegetables or fruit today. My boyfriend already paid for groceries last week (usually we split each bill in half), so this week it's my turn, yet I haven't been able to put up on the table what I wanted to. I must admit, I did wallow a bit in self pity today, and I shouldn't but hey, I snapped out of it. I rummaged through my room and found a pack of frozen veggies and some salmon in the back of our freezer. Combined with a heap of garlic,  ketjap manis, dried peppers and sambal I managed to actually turn out an awesome meal in the end. Thank the gods for my mother in law for having bought us that salmon a while back. It saved the day.

I do recommend you all listening to the soundtrack of that Stephen Hawking biopic some time soon, it's perfect for an autumn-mindset.

Oh wait!!! I forget to mention that I've had a crock pot/slow food cooker clicking session again yesterday. I've been fascinated by the fact that you can cook foods overnight, with little to no oi, and it turning out extremely juicy and delicious! Especially when I see all those amazing recipes online that you can make with it. I like the idea that you prepare what you want to eat in the morning, put it in the slow cooker, and set it to cook to be ready for dinner. You're staying in your pj's, the whole house is filled with tantalising smells all day long whilst you did some chores and snuggled uo with your significant other for a daytime movie session, and come dinnertime all you need to do is grab a plate and enjoy. It basically describes a perfect sunday for me, tbh. Especially if it includes rain or snow outside.
Well, sime day I'll be able to afford one and bewaaare of the delicious foods i'll be making you'll see!! :D

Now off to my danceclass, the first of the new season!

Love,
