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 [...]

Standing thinking

Standing thinking

I’m just standing. That is all I want to do right now. I’ve lost interest/excitement for so many things lately that I need to just stand still, ponder, consider and reevaluate what I want and don’t want. It’s a very mixed message blog post I know. But then my blog posts often are mixed messages [...]

Can’t Hoover

Can’t Hoover

I can’t Hoover. But, I can move my arm to around waist level now. My shoulder did its thing again last week for the millionth time. However hoping to see the doctor because after 11 years of shoulder issues on and off this was the worst. Why? Because twice when I attempted to do something. [...]

Results

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 [...]

Dear Tuesday

Dear Tuesday

Dear Tuesday, we need to talk. You’re awkward, unhelpful, and borderline cruel. But that’s fine, because I have my Cazimi eyeshadow shimmering like a tiny rebellion on my lids, and Le Mew nails that say “I’ve got this”, even if I don’t. Fabulousness: achieved CREDITS Fae eyeshadow from Cazimi at the Designer Showcase Lemon Drop [...]

Coffee and me

Coffee and me

If I’d had a coffee stand in my living room this week, I swear I’d have been unstoppable. Instead, I’ve spent the week staring at a sad jar of instant coffee, whispering “you’ll do” like it’s a bad relationship. No latte art, no loyalty points, just shaky hands and regret. Honestly, if Starbucks wants to [...]
