    August 28, 2024

    December 14, 2023

  • Grand Schemes vs Actual Scenes

    December 7, 2023

    I am writing this after having about 3 hours of sleep. I feel like a zombie! So, I hope this all makes sense. I’ve been feeling my usual mixed emotions over the last few weeks. I’ve felt hurt, making me want to retreat, which was fortunate as that’s what I…

    Something happened recently that has never happened to me in my 42 years. I completely forgot about an appointment. It was Monday morning and my last “day off.” I woke up at 9am after an unusually good sleep and was having a cup of tea, catching up on TOWIE. I…
