The boy and I just got back from a lazy walk around a park along the riverbank. It is sunny and warm and now we’re back home and I’m feeling mighty drowsy. Not hayfever or anything, just the lovely warm “equilibrium” weather soaking in after a long Winter. Good dose of Vitamin D too. Feel v. good and happy. Maybe this is part of why sloths are so slow, because they spend their days in the sun and the warm?

United Sloths of America
This week was the 13th anniversary of 9/11. Just thought it was worth a post. I didn’t know anyone involved in the tragedy that unfolded on that fateful day, but nevertheless still feel for all people affected by terrorism throughout the world. Right now in Oz there is a “high” terrorism risk, and whilst I’m not worried by that at this point in time, one still questions why people do the things they do.
World peace might happen one day! I hope I’m still around to see it.

Manicure
Got mah nails did today, in preparation for my trip away on Sunday. Heading to Sydney for a 3 day conference. Looking forward to it! Anyway, I don’t usually get manicures. In fact I’ve only ever had one before. The main reason I got one (besides wanting to impress science peeps) was because my nails are actually pretty long and nice at the moment on account of the fact that I haven’t had to cut them for netball.
It was weird! Here’s me in the beauty parlour, trying to chat with the cute Asian girl filing my digits, and everyone else was silent and staring at me, like, judging me for talking. There was one guy in the whole place (at the reception desk) who had like this harem of women all wearing pink and face masks and not talking. Yeah. Weird.
Maybe I should grow my nails super long like a sloth so I can hang upside down with them? Usefulness as well as prettiness!
Sloth Mousepad
Sooo… ArtsCow had a special on, and I decided I needed a sloth mousepad! LOOK HOW AMAZING IT IS!!! Now I won’t be able to get any work done because as soon as I move my mouse off THIS FACE I will just MELT! GAHHH!!
R U OK?
Today is R U OK? Day, a reminder to initiate those difficult conversations about depression, mental illness, and suicide.
This is a huge issue in our society, and all it takes is a few moments out of your day to stop, listen, and actually talk to someone and make them the most important person in your life at that given point. Perhaps give them a hug too!
Keep Reaching for It!
Movies that would have been better with Sloths
Went to the cinema tonight to see a preview screening of “The Little Death“, Josh Lawson’s new film. Go see it! Brilliant! Weird. But brilliant!
If only there were more sloths in movies these days. Seriously, aren’t they popular enough yet? The only movies I’ve seen sloths in are The Croods and Life of Pi. If there are any more please let me know! It looks like there are some out there who have the same idea as me…
