  • Pandemic Lessons: Boredom (or: what have I been doing?)

    Pandemic Lessons: Boredom (or: what have I been doing?)

    I’m so bored of being stuck at home and not working. There. I SAID IT. I was furloughed from April and have been made redundant now and am still furloughed, until mid-October when I’ll finally be free. I won’t discuss my feelings on that now, but I am looking forward to moving on to something…

  • One of the bad weeks (plus a cancer update!)

    One of the bad weeks (plus a cancer update!)

    I’ve just realised I have a draft from a couple months ago that I still haven’t finished or posted which I obviously forgot about! Oh well. You get this one instead. This week has been utter shite. 90% of that is down to hormones because ovaries suck – I still have my cycles I just…

  • Cancer has taken my fear away

    Cancer has taken my fear away

    At work I write a lot about the importance of protection, you never know what will happen, everyone can get cancer, etc, etc. But still you are always shocked when it happens to you, no matter how much you know it can. 2017 started off good enough, I had goals and I thought I knew…

  • Well, hello there!

    *waves from behind the door and wanders in* How are we all? I know, I know, I haven’t been around! I’m so sorry. I knew work would be super busy during this project I’m on and I’m pleased to say I’m at the stage where my workload is now tapering off and I got through…

  • Workin’ It Out

    This Autumn has been BLAH. Since the start of October I’ve been feeling run down and not very energetic at all. My throat’s been somewhat scratchy and I have constantly felt like I’m coming down with something. My mood, however, has been alright. We’ve been super busy, going away almost every single weekend so I…

  • Make it Happen

    Hey peeps, what’s shakin’? My last post was from before I went on holiday and I must admit I was not in a good place before going away. Everything seemed difficult and I was fed up with it all. Our holiday was amazing and 10 days on a beach in sunny Cala Millor was exactly…

  • You Can’t Be Good At Everything

    I mentioned in my last post my goal for September would be not giving up. I’m expanding that a little bit now to also not letting things outside of my control stress me out and get me down. Fact: I am really crap at interviews. I hate talking about myself and in essence trying to…

  • Fall is Coming! Fall is Coming!

    Every year I say the same thing, this is my favourite time of year! September is my favourite month (with the exception of December) because everything happens now as the world turns to winter. 🙂 I am off on holiday soon, too. I’m hoping for a lot of sea, sand, sun and shutting off everything…

  • Frustration, party of one?

    That’s me! I am so unbelievably-can’t-even-put-into-words excited about going on holiday Thursday. I haven’t had any (substantial) time off work since New Year’s so a break is more than needed, especially after the insane 3 months I’ve had. It feels like I haven’t looked up from my monitors at work in absolute ages, and that’s…
