November 2023 – Taking a step back
November was a month to take a step back and enjoy some annual leave! I had lots of annual leave booked from the uni and I wanted to make the most of this time off, although, the business continues regardless which works well as it does give me more time to do some admin andContinue reading “November 2023 – Taking a step back”
Treehouse Retreat
As regular readers of my blog will know I find it quite hard to switch off and step away from my work! However, I am aware that I do need to take time out to relax and recharge. In November, I had loads of annual leave to use at the uni and as I didn’tContinue reading “Treehouse Retreat”
October 2023 – Drifting
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”
July 2023 – Sharing Knowledge
I was glad to see the back of June with the sadness I had been feeling.

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”
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!

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”
