Term one week one and I am so ded I’m not even alive anymore. Combined with a birthday party last weekend and household guests (which were super welcome!) and, of course, wanton consumption of amines and gluten over the weekend and consequential lack of sleep/insomnia… URGH. Anyway. I AM still alive, even if restarting some […]

So I’ve pretty much decided that January and July and no-blogging months. It’s just too hard when my brain’s in full holiday mode, and I prefer to dedicate my time to writing as much as possible while I can. That said, work is back this week, and so is blogging! Generic stuff this week, then

I have nothing especially to say rn, but I also don’t have a great excuse to NOT be here, so here I am, being here, and hereing. Woo! Anyway, writing is progress, if not apace then at least at a better pace than during term time. I have about 37k done now in How Not
Took aaaaaall day, but I managed to pull 4000 words yesterday. After not writing for nearly 4 weeks, it was like pulling teeth for most of the day – but near bed time I FINALLY hit my stride (helps that that’s my peak writing time anyway, when I’m not too exhausted for it) and it

Self-indulgent post, sorry, but here we are. You GUYS. The last two weeks have been reeeeDIKulous.

Lo and behold, I’ve been eating ‘clean’ for two days, and even though Tuesday I still felt exhausted, I was no longer epically groggy, and actually managed to write about 1200 words before bed. So yeah. Looks like I can either cheat on food (or even not just cheat, but push the boundaries a bit),

Truth (sadly). Turns out that not only is the mild depression I’ve been prone to since having postnatal depression with my first baby attributable to food, but so are 99% of my other health issues. Even the joint pain that’s caused by Joint Hypermobility Syndrome is, it turns out, exacerbated A LOT by food. Long

See? Streak power at work right here. I had posts for every day last week, so now I want to maintain that. I noted last week that posting once a week was too infrequent for streak-motivation to kick in, but apparently this week-daily bizzo is doing the trick (and let’s face it, the Monday/Friday posts

Wow. It’s October already. How did that happen? How I am, like, making appointments and lesson plans and things through to the end of November already? How has it been six million years since I last blogged? …Okay, so the answer to that last one is, as we all know, that I still suck at
