I woke up with The Sads this morning. This is probably to have been expected: I was migrainey last week (though at least only the silent variety), and had more migraine taste in my mouth overnight; I’m overtired/overstimulated to the point where I developed an eye twitch on Sunday night, something I don’t remember having […]

This one hit me hard at some point last year, right in the middle of trying to heal from burnout, trying to slow my life down so it doesn’t always feel like a breathless, frantic, slightly panicked rush. Therapy is great. Journalling (to my eternal irritation) works amazingly. Learning growth mindsets and cognitive behavioural therapy
I was planning for Light And Fluffy Friday Post today, but that’s just not where my headspace is at. Instead of being all YAY HERE ARE THINGS I’M LOVING*, I’m actually staring somewhat morosely out the window wondering why I feel so flat. * Which, there are many things I’m loving right now but aside

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

Apparently we are on a Malinda kick for a bit 😀 I’m sure we’ll all survive though, right? <3 This is the song of hers that convinced me to go buy her album, and I kind of just want to listen to it on repeat and marinate in the lyrics until they permeate every aspect

Yesterday, @Nicole_Cliffe, whom I do not know except for this brief encounter, started a thread on twitter, asking for times when strangers have been kind to us. Please. Take time to read the thread. You will not be sorry. This article, linked to in the thread, is also very much worth your while: a story

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
