My own nest
2019 so far has been a bit of a snoozefest, literally! Poor hubby was sick with a nasty flu over New Year and (knock on wood) I haven’t gotten it, but we are both feeling a little rundown and meh. I’ve done a few bits around the house, namely cleared out the lounge and rearranged…

What up, 2019?
I had 11 days off over Christmas and New Year! I usually love taking that time to reflect, plan, and look ahead at the coming year. This time I did a tiny bit of that, but mostly I slept, watched telly, played video games, cooked food, and basically did as little as possible. I obviously…

One year later
Content warning: suicide, cancer. This week is the year anniversary of my last hysteroscopy follow up, when we already knew the results weren’t positive so thankfully we were prepared and we made the decision for me to get a hysterectomy. I have my 1 year post-cancer follow up next week (a month early but that’s…

Love Matters
I am in the throes of emotional fatigue. The onslaught of horrific news, work stress, and some other triggers are just piling up and, try as I might, I can’t seem to do much but keep my head just above water from it all. Outside of the news bombarding everyone, I know that eventually things…

Be your own hero

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…

Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans
Life has been happening lately. So much so that I zoomed past my 3 month post-op milestone and didn’t notice until after it had happened that it’d been that long! I’m still doing awesome, no problems and nothing new to report on that front! We went to Palma last month. It. Was. Amazing. We had…

What makes you happy?
We were on holiday the week we officially found out what we already knew, that the hormones weren’t working and I wasn’t even close to being cleared for fertility treatments. I had prepared myself for that as much as I could of course, but being told it officially made it real. I’m glad we were…
