I was prepping food last night for my parents shop and I thought it would be good to write some things down, in a diary or even in a blog, so that I wouldn't forget any lessons I've learnt or experiences that were memorable at the time.
I also have somewhat concluded last night that I'm probably depressed. It's been around 6 months since I've really felt peppy and I've spent a lot of time in the past 6 months wanting to have time alone, and it's not that I'm actually doing anything more exciting by myself, it's just that I would rather spend more time at home in bed, than go out. And as an extravert, it's just weird for all that to happen. Also I probably should see a therapist about this, but lets see how long I can pretend to totally avoid it for a while.
Depression aside, yesterday was a lovely Saturday spent with mum.
We grabbed duplings from Shangdong mama mini near Degraves St and mum had never really been to have food on Degraves St, even though living in melbourne for over 25 years. She was surprised at how crispy yet soft the dumplings were - definitely will keep in mind for when she gets hungry around Flinders St.
My brother and his wife bought tickets for the ballet 'Verve' from the Australia Ballet for mothers day and as they live in Sydney, I attended with mum instead of them. It was really interesting, with three sections and two intervals between each section.
The first one had these photo frame like structures on stage and honestly I didn't really get the premise of it. The second movement had this focus on 'kintsugi', erring on the fragility of human emotion (I guess this isn't depression aside then), with this amazing backdrop, and everything moved so fluidly. Lastly, there was this fast paced Incredibles 2 like dramatic chase movement, where it was like a spy movie but ballet. Notably, there were a lot of elderly people watching the ballet, and we somehow fit in just fine.

Hopefully mum and I will have a similarly lovely time in the future. I always forget how pleasant having a 'mum' day is.
