Back at it

Back at it

I went back to work today and realised I’m just a number. Hence my avatars face. I had my stitches out yesterday and I have not fully healed. So I have to keep dressing it and keep clean. Also no wild walking etc for weeks to come. Not an issue, me walking distances? Nah. After [...]

First time back

First time back

This is my first time logging into Second Life after about two weeks since surgery on my shin, it’s like coming back to a kids nursery that’s been running without supervision. Oh hang in, I left my Zoobie kids drawing at the virtual table. I was re-entering virtual civilisation. Then the flood of offline messages [...]

It arrives soon

It arrives soon

Halloween arrives soon Like that cousin you didn’t invite to the family party. Pumpkins are grinning, candles are lit, And my costume still looks like utter sh— nonsense (I don’t wear one I’m scary as it is) The shops sell cobwebs for £5 a strand, I can just leave my house unplanned! Kids want sweets, [...]

Sun’s Out, Scars Out

Sun’s Out, Scars Out

The sun’s shining, the sky’s pretending it’s still summer, and here I am, proudly swanning about in my shorts like I’ve just been sponsored by Savlon. Why? Because my legs are still decently presentable until my next melanoma operation on the 23rd of October on my shin. I’m having another WLE. Just as the first [...]

Emotional support swing

Emotional support swing

I sat on a virtual swing last night. Just me, the sunset, and a mild sense of “what the actual hell is going on with life.” It was quiet. Too quiet, actually. I half expected my cat to start judging me for sitting there like a moody poet. The swing creaked with every push, probably [...]

Dislocate

Dislocate

 I’m seeing a doctor today about my shoulder issues, which have quietly (and not so quietly) become worse over time. My shoulder has dislocated twice recently during a flare , just for a few seconds each time, but that’s enough to leave a deep ache and a quiet fear in the back of my mind. [...]

No night out

No night out

It was meant to be one of those calm, ordinary Saturdays. The kind where you potter about the house, do a bit of cleaning, and feel vaguely accomplished for it. I decided to tidy the living room and give the TV stand a proper clean. Nothing major, just one of those satisfying little jobs that [...]

Braless

Braless

Today I sat here in pain, my shoulder pulling like it’s mocking me. All I could manage was slipping into loose track pants and, with more effort than it should take, miserably plaiting my hair as I can’t tie it up any other way. Messy Heidi look. The rest of me? Braless and very hanging [...]

Results

I need some help right now. I feel pretty alone as I live alone and simple things such as a basket of fruit n veg I can’t pop out and get. I need my rubbish emptied and taken out and frankly I need someone to unscrew my bottle of water! Yesterday two things happened. I [...]

Picture Perfect

Picture Perfect

I had one of those moments where my avatar just stopped me in my tracks. There she was standing against a backdrop. Head high, posture perfect, not a single pixel out of place. Honestly? Fetching doesn’t even cover it. It’s funny how an avatar can carry a kind of confidence I don’t always channel myself. [...]
