Yesterday, I'm proud to say, I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. Not just a little bit but like completely out of it. And I survived. I pushed myself physically a little bit too much and today is being brought to you by rest, ice, elevate, co-codamol and naproxen.

But. I DID SOMETHING NEW AND I ENJOYED ITOne of the women I work with, Kellie, ( Read more... )

One of the weirdest things when you start a new job is deciding who you're going to be there, how much of you you're going to let fly. I'm so used to not being 'got', being surrounded by people who haven't even heard of the shows I watch/music I listen to etc let alone watch them. People who think Love Island is a real TV show.

I've opened up this post an entry box a bunch of times last week, to talk about what a weird week it was.

My music listening and gig going has been dominated over the last couple of years by the UK country scene but this afternoon I've found myself going back in time 14 or so years (yikes!) to listen to some Good Charlotte. I can't even remember the last time I listened to their self-titled debut album but it would seem I'm still word perfect ( Read more... )

I have once again been shenaniganing in Scottishland over the weekend, not surprisingly it involved a Raintown gig LOL ( Read more... )

Re-entering real life is happening slowly but surely.

I've been back to work for a week now and starting to settle back into the swing of things. Two days last week and that was absolutely brutal. By the time I got home last Thursday I was a wreck. I just collapsed down in a puddle of tears - I was exhausted, everything hurt... I was very ( Read more... )
