Too Tired for Second Life… and That’s Saying Something

Too Tired for Second Life… and That’s Saying Something

This weekend I discovered a new level of exhaustion, the kind where even logging into Second Life feels like the impossible. I stared at my SL icon like, “Not today, demon.” Meanwhile real life was behind me waving a to do list. The hoover was judging me from across the room. The washing and ironing [...]

Feed me Seymour

Feed me Seymour

Something strange is happening to me. I’ve become ravenous. Not just “I could eat a little snack” hungry. We’re talking prehistoric cavewoman who’s just discovered Uber Eats levels of hunger. I wake up thinking about breakfast, then mid-breakfast I’m already planning lunch. By mid-morning, I’ve had what I call a “snackcident” . I swear I’m [...]

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 [...]

The heat is on

The heat is on

My cat is driving me batshit. Literally I’m positive she can kill me at this rate. Every night at 11 p.m., Jazz my one cat transforms from cuddly roommate to hormonal bitch. She howls. She paces. She throws herself dramatically onto the floor like she’s auditioning for some dramatic performance, Feline Edition. I’ve tried calming [...]

Don’t wake me

Don’t wake me

I’m so tired that I need a week of sleep. The kind of deep, restorative, luxurious sleep that resets your soul and possibly your entire personality. I don’t want a nap. I want a medically supervised coma with breakfast in bed when I wake up. Somewhere along the line, “rest” became a myth. My brain [...]

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. [...]

Wi Fi looks better on me

Wi Fi looks better on me

My avatar doesn’t just wear a bikini, she inhabits it. She struts down digital beaches like she’s starring in a music video. Her waist is snatched, her hips are perfection, and her thighs curvy but athletic. She’s the version of me that never apologizes for existing in high definition. No tan lines. No belly rolls. [...]

System issues

System issues

This week has been one long waiting game. The systems at work decided to take a little holiday of their own, crashing, glitching, refusing to load, or just staring blankly back at me as live but not live! So instead of working, I’ve been… “working.” You know, sitting there with my screen open, half-pretending to [...]

In the garden

In the garden

What am I doing right now? Laying on my sofa feeling like Im suffering with PMT. However, as I’m meno paused then this is very unlikely. I’m just stuck in a phantom menstrual cycle. It certainly isn’t coming forth at my age. I’ve been more or less laid up the past week since my leg [...]
