After the rather relentless September, October felt like I just drifting aimlessly! Over many years I’ve had to work hard to keep my head above water and that hard work is finally paying off with me feeling more in control of my life and finances. However, this feeling is quite alien to me so OctoberContinue reading “October 2023 – Drifting”

September 2023 – Go, go, go
I found September really hard on both a physical and emotional level. I knew going into the month would be a busy one, with uni inductions for new students and back into the grind of lecturing, I love doing all of this so was also quite excited to see the students again. Having lectured upContinue reading “September 2023 – Go, go, go”
August 2023 – A holiday of sorts
August was an opportunity to catch my breath, the year has been quite full on for me juggling my business and uni work especially taking on a new more senior role in January. I had the first two weeks of annual leave booked off from my uni role, however, in mid-June, I decided to pushContinue reading “August 2023 – A holiday of sorts”
July 2023 – Sharing Knowledge
I was glad to see the back of June with the sadness I had been feeling. The first half of July was full on, I had been commissioned to deliver a couple of training courses and although these had been booked a couple of months previously I was behind with the preparation. The dates justContinue reading “July 2023 – Sharing Knowledge”
June 2023 – Veil of Sadness
For most of June, I felt like I had a veil of sadness draped over me, there is no reason for this, I just felt sad. I started the month with a short road trip with a friend to get a much-waited tattoo, now, I know that tattoos aren’t everyone’s cup of tea! This recentContinue reading “June 2023 – Veil of Sadness”
May 2023 – Re-Health
May was a bit of a non-month really, not sure why! Just felt like I was on the hamster wheel of life with no way to get off it!

April 2023 – Starting Over
April was a big month as it felt like one door was finally closing and another was opening. The first 6 days were spent preparing for my operation. I wasn’t sure how much mobility I would have, so I wanted to ensure that I had plenty of meals and food prepped just in case IContinue reading “April 2023 – Starting Over”
March 2023 – Clinging on
March felt like I was just about clinging onto life and just able to keep all the balls I juggle in the air. The the beginning of the months, I yet again found myself counting down the days until I had a period of annual leave/days off. Doing this has never felt comfortable to meContinue reading “March 2023 – Clinging on”
February 2023 – The final goodnight
I’ve delayed writing February’s blog post as I know I will find it emotional, but here goes!! The month started with another physio session on my knee, when I say physio session, no hands-on physical physio was done – it was mainly me saying that despite resting it and doing the exercise given to meContinue reading “February 2023 – The final goodnight”
January 2023 – Professional Avoider
The first month of 2023 is done & dusted, despite wanting to make changes in my life for 2023, these never materialised for one reason or another but one big reason is that I’m a professional avoider, more on that later! The month started full throttle as I began my new role at the uniContinue reading “January 2023 – Professional Avoider”
