A lil rant

Hey guys,

I’m actually thinking of having a break from this. Here’s why.

Firstly, I have forgottten why I started and why I enjoyed it. Now on a Sunday I have no ideas and no motivation to even get my laptop out. What’s the point in half arsing something? I want to be proud of what I post again, like back when I did my #BeautiesOnFire posts. Maybe I’ll plan some makeup posts because I did used to like those. I’ve also started doing art again (yay) so that’s another thing to dabble into.

Secondly, I’ve been to the doctors quite a bit lately. A few weeks ago I went to A&E because my gallstones were playing up pretty bad. It’s the worst pain I’ve ever experienced honestly. While I was there they took some blood for tests and such as they do, and turns out the results weren’t quite right again. They wrote to my GP explaining everything and recommended another blood test. Turns out I’m anaemic again, which is quite funny because it was also this time last year.

So back on iron tablets and I’m having more blood tests soon. I also have an appointment at the hospital ( I think) to discuss removing my gallbladder. So honestly I’m just a little befuddled - the only word I could think of. I haven’t been feeling like great about myself lately which has made my psoriasis flare up, despite me trying to fight back at it with a brand new bottle of cream.

Honestly I think I need to give my head a rest and recharge. That’s what it feels like anyway.

I probably will write next week because I always feel guilty for some reason. So, see you then.

Adios amigos!xo

Monthly Goals #8

Hey guys,

If you want to read #7, click HERE.

So, last month I challenged myself to try and control my Psoriasis just a little. Since then I have been religiously applying a different cream to see whether it makes a difference or not. Luckily this cream doesn't make my arm feel on fire, it just stings a little. However to me it doesn't seem to have even affected it.

I have noticed that it is kind of dryer in a way. I can't explain it any other way. It definitely hasn't helped my knees at all. they've only been getting worse (yay...)

Honestly, I might try and do this again this month too but go back to the other cream. Then compare them both to see which I am better using.

I would say that I achieved my goal because I actually did well for applying the cream as often as I could. So go me.

This month I think I may revisit the art goal I set a while ago. Obviously I didn't manage to achieve this one. But recently I have been thinking of 'challenging my brain', when I was at college I always had things to research and learn about and now I have nothing. Nothing to really challenge me intellectually - and I actually miss it.

I think I will try and write myself a brief, and then work towards it. By making a brief I'll be able to follow it like I was at college, like it is a proper assessment. When I have finished I will be able to include photos of my work in the next 'Monthly Goals' post and I could ask a few friends to see what they think and include that like someone has marked it for me.

I'm excited for this.

Adios amigos!xo

P.s. I managed to finish my book! Woo.
