Dulce Secrets – Isabelle Cheren

You see to me either way, the glass is at half. Was the glass enjoyable that it was never finished? Was it so enjoyable it could be finished and they never got around to it?

I mean for me, the glass is always full.

I don’t drink red wine.

Happy Friday everyone!

Celebrating friends both virtual and real

August 10, 2019by Isabelle Cheren2 Comments

Last night I had a lovely evening with my two good friends Annette and Carol.

We regularly get together and have something to eat and either put the world to rights or gossip about whatever each of us has to share.

We are three women with strong voices and if you were an observer in the corner you would be hard pressed to keep up with us and know what we are talking about.

We are like a busy intersection on one of the worlds busiest roads. We talk non stop from the minute we see each other until the minute we say goodbye again. Talking at great speed to fit it all in, until the next time we see each other.

This is what friends is about. You can go weeks without seeing each other and then when you do, it’s like that fast moving train, transference of information, and then it’s outta here again.

I have a few friends in my life that I look at like that and call them real friends both in reality and virtual life.

We don’t live in each other’s lives every day, but when needed are there for each other to listen and talk to. To hug and be hugged by.

Don’t ever forget those people in your lives. We can have hundreds of acquaintances who are “friends” on our social media’s etc.

But the reality of it, the real true friends are those that we can count on our fingers to be there when we most need them. The ones that listen when we need to talk, don’t judge and just are there to lift you back up.

Thank you to my friends both in reality and in the virtual world who have become friends.

Harriet goes away

August 7, 2019August 8, 2019by Isabelle CherenLeave a Comment

Harriet takes James advice and decides to go away a few days on a holiday with a very Mediterranean feel.

For Harriet this is just the tonic she needs to invigorate herself and feel better about Gabriel going away. It’s a rather sedate trip so far….

Excuse me but there’s no coffee?

August 6, 2019by Isabelle CherenLeave a Comment

Today I did the let’s change things around thing and went for a walk at lunchtime.

I mean to be fair, it was only to Tesco and back. Though it did take an hour because I went for a browse down the aisles as one does, checking out the food. Checking out the men. As you do.

After all they say it’s a good place to strike up a random conversation.

I visited the fruit and veggie aisle and browsed some rather plump tomato’s. Picked up a cucumber and a bunch of spring onions.

As I turned the corner into the meat aisle I swear the song Hallelujah should have been playing. Only Tescos doesn’t play shopper music.

Hunk of most women’s dreams was fondling the duck legs and frankly looking like he had a firm grip on those.

I thought what the heck I’d make a beeline for the steak, proving I like a good fine cut. Making me maybe appealing?

It seems not. Just as I picked up a good rump, off he went into the wild yonder of the superstore. There was me. Holding a rump.

As I threw it back in the fridge I made my way to the checkout in the hope I may cast a glance again at said stud. Paid for my shopping and scurried out the store. Nothing.

When I got home, after unpacking the lot. I realised in my hormonal excitement I had forgotten the coffee.

Moral of story? Get the coffee before heading to the fruit and veggie aisle.

I need a lift

August 4, 2019by Isabelle Cheren2 Comments

I need a lift to awake my soul right now.

It’s 1.34 pm here in the UK as I write this. I woke up about 15 minutes ago after a marathon sleep that my body clearly needed.

Exhaustion sometimes takes us by surprise and lately it has hit me like a sledgehammer.

I’ve been exhausted for quite a while now and constantly keeping myself running on my invisible treadmill for fear that if I stop and give in. This could mean a permanent life change.

To some that may sound incredibly ridiculous but to others that know how our own health issues and inner demons affect us, will understand and appreciate.

I am literally exhausted and with all the life worries that I have tumbling around in my head, I have to try and balance them. One accidental movement and the mountain could fall.

I think that’s the best way to describe exhaustion for me right now.

It’s a state of mind and a physical impact. What could change it? I don’t know. But what I do know right now, is that juggling has become my new skill.

I’ve woken up after 13 hours sleep. No more rested than I was before. Go figure.

Just waiting

February 13, 2019February 13, 2019by Isabelle CherenLeave a Comment

It’s been 3 days since I put in my formal request to work from home. I haven’t even had an acknowledgement.

It’s called flexible working. There are great business positives for it and I’ve addressed all the cons in the application so they’re answered before the questions arise.

However the most important reason for me is the difference it will make to my quality of life.

I would literally save 2.5 hours travelling time. I’d have control over my work environment which is the huge factor and I’d have better concentration.

Anyone who has this Fibro malarkey will know that some days you feel your age and then others you feel 100 years old. The pain in your body is real and finding your comfort spot can be hard.

I struggle with this in the office because I can not control my environment. I can’t sit with the sun on me and the window wide open. I can’t regularly move from my desk as often as I need to and most of all I cannot think because the fog becomes pretty intense.

The fog is getting worse for me. It’s such a weird experience that I still cannot fathom it.

It exists and comes over like a mist. Hangs over me for hours then all of a sudden lifts.

I can literally go from being beyond exhaustion to suddenly saying g’day.

So back to the waiting……

Everything is Black and White

February 11, 2019February 11, 2019by Isabelle Cheren4 Comments

As I ride this bus into work today I’m contemplating my day and how it will fare.

To be honest I do this most days. Despite the overwhelming tired I feel at times, I am always thinking ahead and planning.

Last week I had quite a lot land on my plate and so working out in order of priority is a little difficult.

As you all know I am a unionist through and through. I believe strongly in people’s rights and making sure they’re protected.

What I have found though is trying to do this role in an open plan environment is becoming difficult.

Simply because there is no privacy in phone calls. There are no moments that I can just get on with the role because when I am sat at my desk, people just expect me to be doing the same as them. Which makes it hard because I can’t put my phone on busy so that I can concentrate.

So today I am going to tackle the solution to this whole situation and see what happens.

As far as I am concerned there is only a yes or no answer.

Which will it be, more importantly why!

Have a good day.

Over tall rusty cars in one leap

January 11, 2019by Isabelle Cheren2 Comments

Do you ever wake up and think ” I wish I could just leap” as far away as possible?

Me right now.

Me this morning and no doubt Monday morning. Right now I’m excited it’s Friday and I can leap out the door and head on home.

It’s been a hard week.

Hang on a moment

December 12, 2018December 12, 2018by Isabelle CherenLeave a Comment

Today was my work Christmas meal for lunch. Can I state “stuffed”. Stuffed!

OMG the meal was gorgeous and amazing and what a lovely time it was. I think in the past few years this has been the loveliest meal we have had in terms of food and company. My team of colleagues are a great bunch. No I am not kidding you, REALLY!

I think after all the angst that has been before we have the right mix of people and a really lovely line manager who I think each and every one of us would support to the end and back.

At the end of the day you cannot ask for much more really.

Well maybe you could, MORE PAY!!

Strike!!!!!! hahahah

PS. I am not drunk.
