Day 94 of "Figuring it Out - Sh*t I did today

Updated: 2 days ago

Good evening friends and whānau! Happy Sunday! It's like a week until Christmas, isn't that crazy? Honestly, don't know where the year has gone tbh. Melbourne weather is gorgeous today. Not too hot, but warm enough that all you need is a t-shirt with a nice gentle breeze so good.



Tbh, I'm feeling a bit blah that we didn't get to go to NZ this year for Xmas but hopefully, it's a bit more possible next year. I may be a little homesick because usually, this is the time of the year I see everyone that I don't normally and I definitely appreciate Luke's family taking me in at this time. It can just be a lot at times. I love Melbourne and it's where I want to be, just sometimes it sucks to be away from your biggest network. I do have a good network of friends and family here too, it just gets hard when you are expected to do so much and then you're battling your own health issues and need time to recharge. I never used to need this long to recharge but I guess I've spent a lot of time in solitude since covid so the introverted side of me comes out more and I feel bad because I get so tired and can't do as much as I want to do sorta thing. I'm really trying though. Anyway.


Last night Luke and I watched the Christmas Movie "Candy Cane Lane" which has awful reviews. It was a pretty silly stupid movie but I think it was worth a bit more in the reviews area of the movie world. I was disappointed when I found out Nick Offerman's British accent wasn't actually him. I feel ripped off. Hahah if you've watched the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about. And today, we did our groceries, went for a walk to the park and saw a Grey Butcherbird mum and bubba - they were so cute. Didn't take my camera on this walk though but I'll definitely have to go down and spend a few hours there because I'm 99% sure that's where the butcherbirds live at the moment. It's surprising how many birds are around our neighbourhood. Then we did some baking with Luke's family and now we're going to cook ourselves some meat and veg for dinner and probably watch either The Bachelors Au or Parks and Recreation. I love Parks and Recreation and would say it's one of my comfort shows. I'm not someone who usually watches things more than once because when I do I keep analysing it and picking it apart (I can't help it, I'm a social scientist) so I don't like to watch things over and over again. But Parks and Rec, I can definitely make an exception for because it's amazing. I have to keep quiet though so I don't spoil it for Luke. I don't think he liked season 1 but I told him to give it a chance and now he's being Ron Swanson whenever he can hahahahaha. I'll have to get him to watch all of The Office next.


I don't have much else to report today, so I'll end it there. But for today's question, I want to know, do you think you're more like your mum or dad? Let me know in the comments below. For me, it's definitely my mum lol.


Ka kite, Much love,

Ash xx

I'm definitely a mix of both my parents. I thought I was more like Dad but I realised that I actually have a lot of my mum in me as well
