I Needed A Change ~ Escape The Routine

A Day Out On The Town or Free All Your Money!!

After a bad day yesterday and weeks of helping support the renovations, I felt like I needed a change.

This morning I packed up my Daughter and Mother in the car and went for a drive into town.
My Daughter usually takes the bus into the university campus, a three hour round trip so a 45 min ride in the car was much appreciated.

After that my Mother and I went for a cuppa at a local cafe and then off to the haberdashery to choose curtains and matching quilt cover set for the new room we've all been building. As you can imagine this took far longer than expected especially when you add in getting distracted looking around for a dress pattern that we couldn't find.....

Seemingly moments later and it was lunch time, we loaded our haul into the car and went over to the burger joint for a meal. It was not a nice as @wholesomeroots One Pot Chili that I read about while eating, but still a not bad burger! Mum had a very generous chicken and maple bacon salad that looked delicious.

After lunch was off to Bunnings for a roller blind and a quick look in the gardening section. I think we have a little trace element issue, so I just looked at some options for when I'm back into the garden project. Ended up with a 180 x 210 silver block out blind which was fun getting in my car with all the other stuff.

Next stop Car Wash. There is something divine about driving into a building in a dirty dusty car and coming out the other side shiny and clean. I LOVE it!! When she was little my Daughter would request a trip to the car wash and the zoo, and that was her idea of a great day's adventure! We had one secret mission to do while in town today which was completed discretely and you can't know about it until Sunday, if anyone even reads this far in....

All tasks completed and monies returned to the great system our overlords designed for us to cycle endlessly through. We rolled on over to the Uni and picked up the kido for the trip home. Given the size of the day already it was decided that cold meat and some mashed vegetables would suffice for dinner.

All in all a nice relaxing day away from the house, which I haven't had for a few weeks now, was just what I needed. Tomorrow begins the next part of the mission which is moving into my new room and setting up all my gear down there, I'm looking forward to getting established and ending this frustrating half moved half packed temporary oblivion that we've all been in since march.

Thoughts About My Blog
And A Question For You

I've also had some time to think about how I interact with steemit, and what I want to do with it in the future. As in posting frequency, content, design and timing. There's a huge amount of things I want to achieve here and lots of great reasons to use this platform. But... there's always a but. There are just a couple of things that I'm struggling with. This is for another post perhaps?

I'd like some feed back on what you use steemit for. A more specific question about my content is how to get the most out of it for me.
I want to:

Post everyday.
Post Garden Updates.
Sometimes How To or How I Did It posts.
Plant feature posts like this and this
Food Creating Posts
Fun or Inspiring Photographs
My random poetry and Prose.
Costuming, Crafting and Steampunk, Mr Pemsby Content
And these blog Posts with just the ramblings of my day or a memory or a funny story.

I've been feeling like my posts are disorganised and sometimes the pressure to post after the a big day of renovation / cooking / cleaning is daunting. Even the garden is suffering from a lack of loving. So now Today I can see the end of this job and my mind turns back to normal activities, I wanted to talk about these things with you.

How to fit all these things into a week?
Should I have a one day a week for each thing?
Can my love of art and culture even fit in with my gardening and food loving blog?

They are very different topics and yet in some ways they are all the same. They are some of the bits of the things that make me into me.
_{You don't actually have to answer all these questions hahah, but thank you if you answer one or some!}
