Well well well. Look who it is.
Yep, it’s me. I have no idea what made me want to write a blog post again but here we are!
As I was desperately trying to get to sleep last night ready for work, I couldn’t stop thinking how much of a boring person I actually can be. And I don’t mean in a derogatory way either in a way I’m happy with it.
The past couple of weeks at work have been pretty brutal. We’ve had two members of staff off who normally do the opens and that’s left us with only two who can cover those shifts. So it’s fair to say, Jacob and I are pretty ready for it to be over. I’ve also done a couple of split shifts to cover someone else. And even though I was incredibly tired and achy, it felt good? Not in a I’m going to do this everyweek way, but it just felt productive.
I also don’t have many hobbies. Which I am trying to work on. Typically You’ll find me either at work, or in bed. I’m pretty happy all cosy in bed watching tik toks. Granted sometimes I have a couple games on ps4 but unless I’m online with friends my attention for it doesn’t last too long. I suppose shopping is something I enjoy doing, though I’m trying to cut that down now I have a new car to pay for!
Now that probably sounds okay, but it gets a little repetitive. So recently, like I said before, I’m trying to get a few new hobbies. Or even just something to give my mind a bit of space from a screen.
I’ve read ‘It Ends With Us’ by Colleen Hoover. Which I really enjoyed. Definitely an easy read and ideal for someone wanting a little stepping stone back to reading. I’ve just started ‘Ugly Love’ and I’m excited to see more of her work. ‘A Slow Burning Fire’ by Paula Hawkins is also one Ive started though this is more of a thriller and definitely needs more attention when reading so it may take me a while to get though. Good so far though! She also wrote ‘The Girl On The Train’ that I LOVED a few years ago.
Another thing I’ve been doing is colouring. I found a cheap book in Home Bargains for 79p and some felt pens probably £1.99 or so, nothing fancy. But the book is detailed enough for you to sit at least for an hour a time but also not super detailed that it’s frustrating and tedious. I saw a Tik Tok of a woman painting as if she was a child again, big brush, bold paints, nothing in lines ect and it looked pretty fun. As a kid I always tried all the time to keep paintings and colouring in the lines and I’d end up stressed. It’s nice to go back to that sort of thing more relaxed and just enjoy what you should’ve done years ago. - I highly recommend.
I may have also bought some air drying clay a few months ago. Fair to say I had one go and never touched it again. I’m not sure what paints I’m supposed to use for this type of clay, so any recommendations please let me know! Though I do want to give it another go and make little ghosts ready for Halloween, I think that would be cute.
That’s about all really. I don’t really ‘go out’ that much. Since being on new medication, alcohol hits me like a ton of bricks! And while it’s nice and cheap, the following day is absolute hell. Safe to say I keep it to a minimum. I’ve been going to the local a couple of times with my sister and friends from work which is nice. But that’s about as far as it goes. And I’m typically okay with that!
Okay, that’s all I really have to say. Please bear with me while I get my ‘mojo’ back. It’s been a while and I must say, very strange to be doing this again after so long!
Speak soon xo
Enjoy this picture of Guiney when she crawled in my bed and didn’t approve of me taking a photo.
