This week has been painful for more than one reason. The first part of the week was mentally painful, the middle part was physically painful and the end promises to be emotionally painful. I started this week by trying to update my website. It had been a very long time since I last updated my … Continue reading Pain

Miserable Winter
Even though we still have over a month of winter left I am already sick of it. I am sick of waking up in the dark. I am sick of the cold and the rain. I am sick of doing dog walks in the dark. I am trying to lead a more healthy life but … Continue reading Miserable Winter
Blue Monday
Yesterday was blue Monday and though there is some controversy on whether this is a real phenomenon it is clear that January is a difficult month. Going back to work again after the Christmas break is difficult enough but adding to that poor weather and low funds, January is just miserable. I am trying my … Continue reading Blue Monday
COVID-19 a Lesson in Consent
Ok this is going to sound weird by bare with me here. COVID-19 has taught me a lot about boundaries, specifically how most people are willing to completely disregard other peoples boundaries based on their own desires and personal feelings on the matter.

I have heard a lot of people talking about being in a 'post … Continue reading Covid – forgotten but not gone
Still Not Going Out
Although in the UK a lot of places have started to open up and people have started to go out more I am still not changing what I am doing which means that the only time we are leaving the house is to exercise or play with our dog. One of the main reasons for … Continue reading Still Not Going Out
Feeling Determined
I don't think that I am the only person (probably by a long way) that has let what is going on in the world get the better of them. Over the last few weeks I have been in a cycle of starting off the day well, getting getting to to around mid day, reading something … Continue reading Feeling Determined
Goal Setting
Over the first few weeks of being on lockdown I was far too hard on myself and this has got to stop! I would set myself really unrealistic goals in things that I wanted to get done each day to make the best use of the time. Then I would beat myself up over not … Continue reading Goal Setting
