My Absence

So it's been awhile, I fell on the wagon, badly. I got very sick for the past couple of months with hyperemesis and now that I'm on the mend, I'm finding it really hard to get back into my working routine. Which is terrible, I know. 

Life has also gotten very exciting lately, the Better Half and I got the keys to our 1st home together July 1st, and the renovations have been constant since the day after.  I cannot wait for the house to be finished, I have completely sketched out my entire new kitchen, and on paper it looks great. Even better bonus, after ripping up the laminate wood floors, ugly carpet lay underneath, and under that, the original hardwood floorboards in great condition that are just waiting to sanded and varnished. Over the moon about that. 

So to get me back into the swing of things, a blogger named Pip, meet me at mike's has this game that I thought I would give it a try. Kate from Foxs Lane, had a go and I think it could be what organises myself to get into a working routine again.
