June 4; My rock hit bottom for a day or so. Memories of my life in HK linger shadow everything I do. Today is a tragic day, a day of the past that has never been acknowledged. It’s hard to think of how to move forward from that. Politics aside though, moving countries and changing circumstances is never easy. It feels good though, when I can let myself let go of the raging anxiety, it feels like it is the right thing to do. I’ll keep working hard and keep moving forward.in the meantime I’ll smell the flowers and worry about f I should be watering the garden.

Face forward friends and take a step. You are not standing alone. Your past should be remembered but it does not solely define your future.

June 3; I’m not always the most stable person mentally, I’ll admit but I felt under pressure of time and place on this day. This too will be overcome with time and patience. Need to give myself a break. Others too.

When I make these matchboxes I give myself rules. I make one a day. I post them (eventually) online if they are appropriate to do so. If it’s too much I can stop. But sometimes the too much is only in the posting so I’ve given myself a break these few days and made it post when you are able. It takes the pressure off.

May 31; Migraine days are my worst. It does something to me to have migraines, makes me jangly and spikes and paranoid. Today was a double dose migraine day and I won’t say I did not do anything I regret. I will try to be a better person tomorrow.

My car is really clean though.

May 30; Everyone expects the city to be loud but what I didn’t expect was to be woken up by the honking of geese!! I’m finding the space I’m in soothing as I recover from the move. Apart from these honkers but I like that too.

May 29; I’ve missed a few days of posting. It’s been a busy few days, mostly inside my own head. These are blooming outside and are very beautiful, night blooming primrose! They don’t last long but they sure do bloom their faces off when they do!

Looking forward to having a studio again and starting up some classes - what classes would you look for to increase your creativity?

May 28; A day that started with drama when I heard something in the basement. Upon investigation it turned out to be a squirrel! It got in when I left the screen door open for a moment. It was only a baby and was just as scared as I was!

So I did what anyone would do in my situation - I called my dad who came over with a humane trap and some peanut butter. The rest of the day was spent doing paperwork, and waiting to see if I could catch the squirrel. He had hidden behind a cabinet.

Unfortunately the squirrel was so small he could easily get out of the cage, but he had a little munch at the peanut butter and left shortly afterward on his own.

I’m very careful about closing the screen door now.

May 27; Trying to get my paperwork done, classes ready and everything on the go. It’s not a quick process and complicated by only having a small number of my tools with me at the moment, the rest are floating on the ocean just now!!

A few more days for plans to be more secure. In the meantime, I talk with this guy every day online and my smelly elderly cat. He’s still hanging on even though he’s ancient and in pieces!

Keep on keeping on, one foot in front of the other and progress will be made!!

May 26; A day of celebration. This new life in finding myself in certainly isn’t all bad! I am loving the time with my family - time that doesn’t need to be squeezed anymore because it is mire abundant than it has ever been. No matter where I am I will miss someone but it is great to be around these super human beings for now!

Thanks for all the birthday love from around the world!

May 25; It may seem from this post that the most I accomplished today was some laundry but here’s the thing; every small task had build ups of larger tasks behind it, each one has pieces that led up to that one task being done. Even small tasks can be hard ones, sometimes harder than big ones where the only focus needs to be on the finish line.

I’m not saying my doing a load of laundry was difficult but it does involve a lot of steps when done for the first time in a new space. Gathering the laundry from the suitcase it was packed in. Remembering to buy laundry soap and figuring out the best kind that isn’t too smelly (too smelly and it could trigger a migraine - once I find a comparable brand I don’t tend to switch!). Next, figuring out the controls, finding out how to switch it on then wondering if all that beeping is important or can be ignored(?!). Take it out to hand it outside and find I needed to remember pegs. All these obstacles were pretty easily surmounted but you can see how someone having a fragile mental health day could get easily overwhelmed.

9”on the other hand, I have clean socks and underpants, pjs and shirts that now smell, subtly, of victory and sunshine! Onwards for tomorrow!

What household/daily chores often defeat you? Don’t be shy, we should face our demons!
