  • You gotta swim

    You gotta swim

    In my last post I mentioned how busy it’s been and it’s still going! So when I haven’t been busy working, cooking, or meeting up with family and friends I’ve been catching up on some much needed rest. Forced to have rest more like, thanks to getting the flu a few weeks ago! Thankfully I’m…

  • Recovery is boring! Randomest post ever.

    Recovery is boring! Randomest post ever.

    I have so many things I could do but my concentration is at an all time low so I don’t want to do anything. I have books, telly (when Netflix can bother to work!), and have even tried playing some games this week. I can handle things for about 30 minutes max then I’m ready…

    Best or Darkest Days

    And these could be the best or darkest days The lines we walk are paper thin This line from So Close by Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness (his latest single, which is awesome by the way) is pretty accurate these days. I don’t write about politics so I’m not going to go on about it…

  • Final Preparations

    This weekend I had no plans for what felt like the first time in months. In reality it’s only been about 3 weeks, but they’ve been a busy few weeks! With nothing planned I was able to take time on Saturday to tidy the house and relax a bit. Something about having all the clean…

  • I’m not giving up, I’m just giving in

    My, my this week has been a killer. It certainly didn’t go as planned for me. I spent Monday night and Tuesday in Belfast with a few colleagues for our annual meetings, which thankfully all went smoothly. But once I landed at Bristol and was enroute home at 9pm… that’s when things start going badly.…

  • Gone Sleepin’

    Happy Saturday! With my exhaustion yesterday, I was glad to be able to push through my workouts. Once they were done I managed to crawl upstairs and collapse in a heap on the bed and didn’t move for about an hour! I half slept, half rested, but was really grumpy from being over tired and…

  • The Holidays are Upon us

    I know it’s only November 11th, but when you live outside of the US the holiday season comes early and is, in my opinion anyway, more joyful because there aren’t 3 holidays crammed into less than 10 weeks. Take Halloween as an example. It is celebrated here, but not even close to on the same…

  • Real Life FTW

    This summer has been the busiest ever and I’ve finally had a chance to rest and catch my breath! It’s been filled with going out, gigs, conventions, hikes, a visit from my dad, children’s birthday parties, our 6th wedding anniversary (which we made a non-event) and gaming while my poor over worked and totally stressed…

  • Sunshine!

    I like rain more than the average person. I think it comes with depression – to relish things like rain and thunder and crappy weather where you can make an excuse to not go out and hide under the duvet in bed all day. As much as I like rain, I love sunshine. I’m an…
