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
End of Week 1
It is the end of the first full week in January so it is a great time to assess how I am doing and where I want to be by the end of the year. The first thing that I have been working on this year is my diet. I have now lost a total … Continue reading End of Week 1
Diet Day 0
I don't really like using the word diet because it has connotations of being this thing that people do for a small amount of time and then stop. However, I have a lot of weight to lose so I guess it is pointless to avoid it. Maybe I can start calling it something more cool … Continue reading Diet Day 0
Back in the Office (Sort of)
I have been working from home ever since the beginning of the pandemic in March of last year. Recently there has been a move towards getting people to come back into the office. I don't necessarily agree with this move but I do understand it and however I might feel about it I know I … Continue reading Back in the Office (Sort of)

For those of you that don't know what that is, it is a challenge where you try to write 50,000 words towards a novel in one month. I thought that by removing the distractions of social … Continue reading I’m Back
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 anxiety which means that I am always thinking of the … Continue reading COVID-19 a Lesson in Consent
Covid – forgotten but not gone
I don't think that I can be the only person that has noticed this but it has become increasingly clear over the last few weeks that although Covid is still around people have stopped taking notice of the guidance of social distancing. I have heard a lot of people talking about being in a 'post … Continue reading Covid – forgotten but not gone
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
Nice Weather and Comfort Eating
Even though I can't go out very much I am really glad that we have been having some good weather over the last few weeks. Having warmer weather and sun shine means that I can open the windows and sit out in the garden or even just look outside and see sunshine and flowers. It … Continue reading Nice Weather and Comfort Eating
