This has been me for the last two days. Lots of sleeping and cat cuddles.

As Valentine’s Day is nearly here.
As someone who loves love this gets me in the feels. I’m reminded last year I spent it with someone who said they loved me but couldn’t even be bothered to get me a card. Or even mark the day at all.
At least this year I don’t have to put up with that bullshit.

So the lurgy has got me. What I thought was Flu has turned out to be laryngitis.
So now have antibiotics and signed off work for another 10 days after completely losing my voice.
This is not the start to the year I wanted folks.

Yay!

Have a great time!

I was lucky. She was wonderful and exactly what I needed at the time.

Urgh today was the dreaded back to school.
That 6:15 alarm hit hard.

I think it depends on the circumstances. My experience was very positive.
It was at a time when I really needed it to help me process what was going on in my life. I found it hugely helpful. Without it I don’t think I’d coped tbh.
My therapist was great though.

Thank you.
There have been so many fabulous people. And honestly they’ve helped me more than they could possibly know.

It’s no secret that 2024 was a shitshow.
Frankly, I’m glad to see the back of it.
I’m choosing to focus on the amazing love and support I’ve found from the wonderful people I now have in my life.
They’ve made such a difference to me and I’ll be forever grateful.

Mine’s just to be happy.

That little face!

Actually went out this evening.

It was lovely to catch up with the family this evening. They’re not local, so it’s always nice when they visit.

So Christmas was a bit different this year.
But thanks to friends up and down the country, it was just a little nicer than it had the potential to be.
So thank you.
Thank you to so many of you, near and far. Your kindness means more than you’ll ever know.

Merry Christmas everyone.
Hope however you’re celebrating, you have a wonderful day.

Last minute Christmas shopping for the boy went really well yesterday…

I got a pair of trousers and two tops.

I think today will be a good day ☺️

Happy Wednesday!

That is all.

😢

I have days like that. I just mentally check out.

Hope you’re doing okay?

Boy: I had a dream you let me stay home just cuz I didn’t want go in.
Me: that was deffo a dream.
Boy: I knew it. Even after the year I’ve had?
Me: You’re about 4 months too late to play that card kid, but nice try.
Get your shoes on.
Boy: well, it was worth a try.

Kids, eh? Gotta love them.

Thanks.
You too 🙂

I’ve heard such good things.

Dyed my hair today.

Pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Happy Festive Friday.

Christmas jumpers incoming next week, for today just red.

Enjoy!

Now, that would be a problem.

I’m tired and grumpy most mornings tbh.

Mornings are not my friend.

Hope your day gets better.

It’s not about waking up in the middle of the night, dreaming about pizza.
I’m starting to think I might have a problem.

It’s beautiful there.
