Firstly, back to the menopause stuff! As I mentioned in June, I went to the doctors to see what support they could give me. Well lets just say that the experience was appalling! So, I explained all about the symptoms I was getting and the young female doctor (the reason I added these details asContinue reading “July 2024 – Anticipation”

January 2024 – Here we go again
Early in January, I was debating if I should carry on writing these monthly blog posts, part of me felt like a broken record, saying the same things over and over again, and not really making any progress towards my life goals. However, I thought about the reason I started doing it in the firstContinue reading “January 2024 – Here we go again”
December 2023 – Nearly There
Here we are, the last month of the year! December holds mixed emotions for me, in some ways I love it and in others I hate it. The month started with a visit to Belton House to see their illuminations with a friend, it was a fab way to start December, despite it being quite foggyContinue reading “December 2023 – Nearly There”
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”
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! Lecturing was still in full swing at the uni with another couple of months to go as well…Firecracker was generating a steady amount of work too.Continue reading “May 2023 – Re-Health”
December 2023 – Time to breathe
The first half of December was counting down the days until I could have some time off as I had been for most of November! During this time I also applied for a new role at the university for a seconded position to replace a colleague who had recently moved to a different role withinContinue reading “December 2023 – Time to breathe”
November 2022 – Friendship Matters
November seemed to go by in a blur of working and sleeping. Not much to say about this month as it’s been all about getting my head down and working! I’m not one for wishing days away, however halfway through the month, I started counting down the days until I could rest, not just theContinue reading “November 2022 – Friendship Matters”
September 2022 – Emotional Rollercoaster
Another month down and I don’t really know where this month has gone if I’m honest! As I type this I’m looking back at my calendar pages of what I did last month and some of the things feel like a lifetime ago. I got to spend time with friends who are near and farContinue reading “September 2022 – Emotional Rollercoaster”
August 2022 – Breathing Space
At the beginning of August had a holiday, which might not sound much to some but it is the first holiday I’ve had in about seven years, it is not because I don’t mind holidays, I do, it’s just circumstances that have prevented me from going away. I went to the north coast of ScotlandContinue reading “August 2022 – Breathing Space”
