My Nana passed away in the night. I wasn’t extremely close to her, so I’m more grieving for my mum’s sake, but regardless, I am sad. On the way in to drop my son off to school this morning, it was raining. The ground was wet. On the way back out, I noticed a set […]

Woohoo! Super excited – I actually slept all the way through the night last night. Haven’t done that since I had to start eating gluten again just before Easter. It’s been what, five weeks off gluten now? and I’m finally starting to see some pretty drastic improvements. Here’s to getting my brain back and resuming
Hey guys, A quick health update. June was pretty gross, and the depression, anxiety and sleeplessness/exhaustion were making everything pretty hard. However, the good news is, I had the gastroscopy Tuesday last week, and was able to immediately go gluten-free again after that. It’s been what, nine, ten days? and things are starting to finally

So I had the fun experience the other day of going in for a routine check of my thyroid (which was irradiated back in 2014, woot radioactive girl!*) and getting the results, which were, essentially, “Hey, your thyroid’s GREAT but LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE IS BROKEEEEENNNNN”. *eyeroll*. * So after the radiation therapy, I had to

6 weeks into this gluten-consumption rubbish and the anxiety is whirling. On the one hand, boo hiss this totally sucks. On the other hand, at least it’s concrete evidence that gluten is responsible, and suggests that managing anxiety will be much easier in the future once I’m allowed to go back off gluten? (2 weeks+

…If somewhat tenuously. Gluten sucks. Like, even more than I thought. Because I came off it slowly, a bunch of symptoms disappeared that I didn’t even realise were gluten-related. And now that I am back on the gluten hard-core, as it were, the symptoms are all piling back on, and eww ick gross. Basically. So

Feeling a little floaty today. I’m what, nearly five weeks into the new job now? And today’s the first time I’ve had a moment where I could sit back and sort of go – oh, okay. I’m mostly up to date. It feels… Odd. Because in the last month, I’ve pretty much had to let
Go read this great post by Ilona Andrews. It’s called Lazy Sunday, and it’s nothing especially deep and meaningful, except that on the other hand it also kind of is. See, when you’re working hard at achieving your dreams, you have to shoehorn them into any spare time you have, learning to make do on

The brain, she is the dedz. Miss 3 went back to daycare/preschool two weeks ago after 6 or 7 weeks off, and the rest of us went back to school – to *new* schools, as a matter of fact. Welcome, whole new germ pool. >.< Consequently, at least 50% of the family is ill right
I changed phone providers recently (uh, like, nearly three weeks ago, oops?) and just got around to setting up my voicemail tonight (sorry everyone who’s been leaving messages??!! #lifefail). This. This is me. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. Spoiler, I went for, “Hi, this is Amy, please leave your name and number so I can call
