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)

I’m Back
I took a month away from social media (and pretty much everything else) to focus on writing in NaNoWriMo. 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

It … Continue reading Nice Weather and Comfort Eating
The Lockdown Weight Gain
I (like many others I think) am currently strolling with a lack of motivation fuelled partially by not being able to get out and about in the daylight and partially by the stress of having daily bad news all around me. I am really lucky that I personally haven't been affected by tragedy so far … Continue reading The Lockdown Weight Gain
Bank Holiday Weekend
This weekend was a long bank holiday weekend and it was the strangest bank holiday weekend that I have ever experienced. I am not normally the type of person that will go out on day trips or holidays but on a weekend like this I would normally go on a few walks with my dog … Continue reading Bank Holiday Weekend
Lockdown
The UK has been on lockdown for over a week now. Although I am not generally speaking a social person and I prefer to work from home than to go into the office on most days this is still a big change to me. Normally I go on a couple of walks with the dog … Continue reading Lockdown
Bad few days
The last couple of days I have not done greatly in terms of my diet. I haven't been eating unhealthy food but I have been eating far too much of the healthy food. I have not been feeling great, I have been feeling a bit down and so I have turned to food for comfort … Continue reading Bad few days
