Struggling

I’m struggling. My head’s all over the place at the moment and I’m finding life hard work.  I’m trying. I really am. But it feels like I’m wading through treacle. Everything requires so much energy and I’m drained. I reckon that at the moment my physical health is about 50:50 good days to bad. Compared to a year ago that’s pretty good going as it was probably a 90:10 bad days to good but I’m just so frustrated and fed up. I look around the house and see a million things that need to get done. These can be little things such as trying to keep on top of the laundry, right up to big things like getting on top of decorating and DIY in the house. But there never seem to be enough hours in the day when I’m feeling physically well enough to get stuff done.  I’m picking fights with Hubby over really stupid stuff which isn’t fair because he’s got so much on his plate already. He’s working a lot and under a lot of pressure with his job and then he has the added burden of me, my health, ...

I’ve fallen in love ❤️

Right, I’ve fallen head over heels in love… ❤️❤️❤️❤️ …with my new dungarees.  I’m pretty sure that wasn’t what you were expecting but there you have it. It’s true, I love them and I don’t care what anyone thinks.  Months ago I was looking for dungarees on eBay, as you do, when I came across  Lucy & Yak dungarees  which led me down a browsing rabbit hole where I found  Run and Fly  ones too. I had been wanting some dungarees for ages but didn’t know what size I would be and didn’t want to buy stuff off eBay that might not fit so I left it there. Then when I was in St Ives in the summer I was really excited to find a small independent clothes shop that stocked Run and Fly so I planned to go in during the week to try them on (and treat myself cause holiday purchases don’t count, right?) but we all know how my week in Cornwall ended up. And if you don’t, then you need to read  this blog post . So when my birthday came round in November I added them to ...

New year, same shit

Happy New Year! The shit show that was 2021 has finished and 2022 is here. I’ve not posted for a while cause as usual my health has been up and down. On my good days I’m trying my hardest to spend time with Hubby and the kids and then on my bad days I’m in bed. Since the start of the year the good to bad ratio has been about 50:50 so that’s given me plenty of time to binge some box sets. Here’s what I’ve been watching… Dopesick: Disney+ This series is bloody amazing! It’s based on the book by Beth Macy and uses the stories of real people to show how the opioid crisis in America was created by Perdue Pharma when they invented and marketed OxyContin. I found it incredible that this pharmaceutical company told so many lies and exploited so many vulnerable patients just to make more and more money.  Yellowjacket’s: Sky Atlantic  This series tells the story of a high school football team on their way to the national finals when their plane crashes in the wilderness. It flits from w...
