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 [...]

Tired?

Tired?

Have you ever just felt tired? Not the tired that sleep fixes. Not the kind a long weekend can cure. But that deep, heavy tiredness the one that sits in your chest and follows you through the day. It’s the tiredness of life. The endless cycles of responsibility. The constant background noise of worry, money, [...]

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 [...]

Roll on Autumn

Roll on Autumn

I’m eyeing the garden with that familiar late August itch time to prune, de-weed the pots, and coax everything toward its autumnal slumber. Technically, summer’s still lingering, clinging to the air. But emotionally? I’ve already moved on. I’m done with the sweaty afternoons and the clingy heat. Give me frostbitten mornings and breath that lingers [...]

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 [...]

My avatar left me for a holiday

My avatar left me for a holiday

Everyone I know is sun-kissed and sipping cocktails. I’m celebrating a French stick all to myself and pretending my bank account isn’t empty. Meanwhile, my Second Life avatar’s living it up in the Costa di Lucie, tan, yacht, sequin bikini, zero sweat. She’s flirting with a lifeguard who’s probably Dave from Croydon. She posts filtered [...]

Today is the day

Today is the day

Monday was my last hangout in the summer sun and I’m preparing to have my little surgery today on the offending malignant mole on my shin. Not going to lie, I am with heaving stomach right now and trying decide on what to wear. I know that sounds daft, but I am guessing it has [...]

Pausing to think

Pausing to think

I’ve got my pending Melanoma removal on Thursday and despite my jollity I’ve started to feel intense angst about it all. I am not good with pain. Never had any previous surgery before. The thought of being cut into my shin is filling me with intense dread If they don’t get it all what will [...]
