8 Sept – Time To Heal

Do you give yourself time to heal, or do you keep making yourself move forward?

 
If I were to allow myself to really heal from all the shit that has messed me up so much, I’d need at least 6-12months of not working, a fuck load of therapy and a lot of alternate therapy like yoga and meditation, along with a lot of writing!

29 Aug – August Memories

Tell us one memorable moment from August.

One memorable moment from August…

Commencing Operation Decorator Storm on our living room – changing everything from couch covers to cushions all the way through to loose-leaf tea tins.

In the space of two weeks, we purchased and dyed several chair covers – although the green ones didn’t work very well at all, and will need to be re-dyed. The couch covers worked quite well.

August became the month of YELLOW. Couch cover, cushions, placemats… lots of yellow.

August was the month my role at work also changed slightly and I ended up with my own desk away from reception so that I could focus on my work… and type catch-up blog posts like this during my lunch break hehehe. I got to spend money to buy items so that I could set up my desk more efficiently and ergonomically and enjoy having so much extra space to utilise.

August was the month I saw Lady Gaga TWICE in one weekend and loved every minute of it.

 

Daily Prompt – Work? Optional!

If money were out of the equation, would you still work? If yes, why, and how much? If not, what would you do with your free time?

If money were out of the equation, then that four-letter word would be practically blasphemous!

Just kidding, I don’t  have any career goals.

Daily Prompt – Frame of Mind

If you could paint your current mood onto a canvas, what would that painting look like? What would it depict?

I’d paint something abstract, and use colour to represent mood. But how do you convey the feeling of people-catching-public-transport-are-so-fucking-stupid-it-makes-my-brain-hurt’?!?!?

1 July – 10th Anniversary

This summer is BlogHer’s 10th anniversary! Tell us something YOU have been doing for ten straight years.

 

I actually think I’ve been at my current job for ten years… Which is surprising and kind of sad… It just goes to show how complacent I’ve become in terms of employment. I haven’t even been going to the gym for 10yrs.
