Recap on November and sewing happening again
So, it’s been a week of holidays from blogging and I have to say that it’s been great to come home from work at night and know that I don’t have to try and find something witty or interesting to write about, and that I can just sit on the couch, watch some tv, read a book and just chill. Though having said all that, I was beginning to miss my little blog over here. It’s bee a week since I have done any writing of any sort. I’m missing it all to be honest. So a recap over November...
Read MoreNovember is nearly over
WOW what a ride November has been. It has been full of ups – huge highs and downs – major lows. I have to say that at the beginning of the month I knew that I had set myself up for a full on month. I stupidly thought that I might still be able to do a little bit of sewing, but who was I kidding? The closest I got to sewing was the craft and quilt fair at the beginning of the month. The fabric that I bought there is still sitting on my desk waiting for me to start cutting it out and...
Read MoreI need a tree
First off I would just like to say thank you very much to both Marshmallow, Chris and Linda for their kind words yesterday. When I woke up this morning and saw your comments you put a smile on my face and Marshy your Hugs just brought a warm feeling to me. When you think everything in your life is getting low, and you can feel yourself falling into the deep black hole that you thought you had crawled out of for good, just a simple hug can make everything a little brighter. So thank you once...
Read MoreChristmas is still cancelled
Today has been a shit day. The dramas that started yesterday have just intensified to the point where I can’t think about anything else and don’t quite care about much. I have nothing more to post. Here’s hoping now that tomorrow is better.
Read MoreChristmas is cancelled
No seriously people. Christmas is cancelled this year. My mum told me so today, when she said that she was no longer coming around for traditional Christmas Eve dinner. Why is it that at this time of the year when people are supposed to be happy, merry, cheery, bright and loving, it always turns out that people are nasty and horrible and stressed. There is never any good cheer and nicety in the shops, everyone is pushing and shoving each other, trying to get the better this or that, or trying...
Read MoreWrist breakage anniversary
WARNING: ICKY PHOTOS THAT PEOPLE MAY NOT LIKE IN THIS POST. Two years ago today I broke my wrist. It was a Monday morning, and I had just started a new job the Tuesday before, so I set out nice and early, totally excited about going to work – it was (at the time) the job of my dreams. I went outside, stepped on a piece of concrete, tripped over it and fell. Onto my wrist. At first I didn’t feel anything, didn’t realise I had done anything. I remember sitting back on my heels...
Read MoreThe hike of my life
Okay so enough of my whingeing about the hike on Sunday (though really, I have so much more whingeing left in me – honest). It really was overall just a beautiful weekend. We left early on Saturday morning and took a nice leisurely drive down through Victor Harbour, ending up in Deep Creek Conservation park about 3ish. We had a bit of a drive around looking at the different camp sites and some of the different views – Blowhole beach was just beautiful, especially in the hot weather we were...
Read MoreWhen everything hurts
So I know that I said I was going to post more about the hiking trip, but today everything just hurts. I managed to pull a muscle on the way back up the bloomin cliff yesterday, it was niggling me as we were going up, but to be honest everything hurt so much I didn’t take much more notice than, ow, my muscle hurts. Well woke up this morning and I could barely walk. I have pulled the groin muscle (I think, I don’t know much about muscles to be honest) and I can sit with my legs at 90degrees,...
Read MoreModerate my butt!!
We’ve just gotten back from our weekend away camping. While we were there today we decided to do a hike down to a place called Deep Creek Cove. It was only supposed to be a “Moderate” walk. Well I am sure that I nearly died of a heart attack, not so much on the way down there because it was down the cliff. But on the way back up the cliff, I very nearly had a heart attack. So right now I’m in lots of pain, the pulled muscles have started seizing up and the sunburn that I...
Read MoreCamping is great
So here I am sitting down near Cape Jervis at our lovely camp spot and I believe I could stay here forever. We’ve got the tent set up, got the camp chairs out and we’re about to have some dinner. Yes I am in heaven. No writing has happened and I’m completely fine with that. A weekend for relaxing. Shall post more tomorrow when we are home. ...
Read MoreThe end of a long week
Can I just say – thank god that this week is over. This has been such a long week that just seemed like it was never going to end. Work has been very quiet, there has been very little work that has been coming in, so I am sitting at my desk, trying to look busy, while desperately wanting to sit down and write my story. I hit 25,000 words last night and it was a great feeling to know that I’m halfway into the story (I still have issues calling it a novel), before the reality sunk in...
Read MoreFacebook woes
So when does something that you might randomly put up on Facebook become fodder for people to gossip about, or to spread rumours about? Don’t you hate it when people read something on your Facebook status and decide that because you put it up there, they are free to tell everyone about it? So that happened to us today. A while ago I had put up something about us one day moving to Port Lincoln – which is a good six and half hour drive from where we are now. It’s nothing that...
Read MoreWipeout of a weekend
Well the title of this post says it all really. It was a complete wipeout of a whole weekend. I still didn’t get to my sewing, didn’t even get to cutting out my bag – again. I got a tiny little bit of writing done – 1700 words, which still leaves me 8500 words behind what I should be. I really don’t think I can catch up, not if I want to get back into the gym again, which I do. So I had grand plans of sitting down and doing a whole lot of writing today. But first...
Read MoreSeduced by the tv
On the weekend Mick and I decided to get ourselves a Christmas present a little early – a new flat screen LCD TV. I have to admit that I have been bombarding him for a while now with, can we get a new tv, can we get one, are we there yet, are we there yet…… I’m not sure if it was Mick actually wanting a new TV or just wanting to shut me up, but finally he gave in and we got ourselves the TV. It’s lovely. It has Netcast, so yeehar, I can go and watch YouTube videos on the TV now (just...
Read MoreWorkplace exclusivity
At what point does workplace exclusivity become a form of workplace bullying? Let me set the scene for you. I have been at my current job since April this year, so I’m still a newbie. I’m also five years older than my manager and 10 years older than two of the girls in the team. These three have some sort of secret little club thing going on I’m sure of it. Now don’t get me wrong. I have friends, enough to keep me happy and I don’t necessarily want to be friends with these girls, but...
