March has come and gone in that sneaky way it always does, no big moment, no real warning, just suddenly over. And somehow I’m left feeling slightly tired, a bit confused, and wondering how I’ve been rotating between three different coats like it’s a full-time job. It’s definitely a spring thing!
It’s been a busy one. Work has definitely been work …. full days, long evenings, long lists, and that constant “I’ll just do one more thing” that very quickly turns into five. Standard. But in between all of that, there have been these little calm moments that have made everything feel a lot more manageable.
Mostly just the simple stuff.
Dog walks with Luke and Hunter, wrapped up enough to deal with the cold but still getting that fresh air that makes you feel like you’ve got your life together, even if you absolutely don’t. There’s just something about being outside, even when it’s grey and a bit damp, that resets everything. Hunter’s always having the time of his life, and I’m usually there thinking… why didn’t I wear a thicker coat again?
Weekends have been my favourite part. Nothing major, nothing planned to the minute, just easy. Long walks with no real destination, coming home slightly windswept, and then somehow pulling together a proper dinner on a Saturday night like I’m the kind of person who has everything under control. It’s a good routine though, fresh air, comfy clothes, cooking something nice, then sitting down to watch a film I’ve probably already seen but will happily watch again.
March weather, on the other hand, was all over the place (and I have a feeling April will be the same)
Cold, wet, unpredictable, the kind of month where you leave the house and just hope for the best. “spring” just isn’t for me. It can’t decide what it’s doing, and neither can I when I’m stood staring at my wardrobe trying to prepare for every possible weather scenario. One minute it’s almost sunny, the next it’s raining sideways, and then somehow it’s freezing again. It’s a lot.
I think that’s why I’ve been craving a bit of consistency. The simple things. Knowing what coat to wear would be a great start.
That said, there are little signs of life creeping in.
I’ve started the idea of a spring clean, and by that, I mean I’ve opened a cupboard, looked at it, and decided it needs sorting… just not right this second. Still counts. There’s something quite satisfying about the thought of getting organised, even if in reality it’s just moving things around and calling it progress.
And now April’s here, and it already feels like it’s going to be a busy one.
Easter flew by which, let’s be honest, was mainly about chocolate, and eating way too much!
Then there’s Luke’s birthday, which always turns April into a bit of a whirlwind. Sorting plans, figuring out what to do, and the usual “what do I even get him?” question that somehow never gets easier.
So yes, April is looking busy, but in a nice way, more life stuff, more things to look forward to. And hopefully, slightly better weather.
I’m not asking for much. Just a bit less rain, a bit more consistency, and fewer outfit regrets halfway through the day.
For now though, I’ll take what March gave me, fresh air, slow weekends, good food, and a reminder that not everything has to be rushed.
And if April brings chocolate, birthday celebrations, and weather that actually makes sense?
I’ll take that as a win.
