Musings update

 

Sorry!!

I know it's been a while since I've written anything on here but in my defence I have been dying with yet another cold.

 

So I haven't really done anything apart from feel sorry for myself and watch Pretty little liars, seriously though, if you're not already on that, get on it! Addicted!!

I told my friend about it after I'd watched the first series, she's now finished series 5 and I've only just finished series 3. Some one obviously has too much time on her hands.... #JustSaying.

 

I've literally taken every cold medicine/remedy/syrup under the sun and so far nothing has made me any better so I took myself off to the doctors this morning, turns out I have a chest infection. Fun.

 

So guess who has antibiotics!?

 

 

I DO! Ugh can't wait to feel better.

 

It's funny, when you feel rubbish, you decide that as soon as you feel better you're going to do loads more stuff, like when you can breathe you'll go to the gym and be really energetic and run around like a headless chicken... I know this is not going to happen but leave me be, it's keeping me going.

 

I don't think people realise just how much your patience is reduced when you're not well... and trust me I don't have a lot of patience to start with, so being at work is... interesting.

At the moment it takes all my energy to control my sarcastic outbursts, you cant seriously expect me to stop rolling my eyes too - give me a break I am trying!

 

Speaking of trying - I have forced my self to take a load of pics today for my next couple of blogs because guilt is eating me up for not blogging and also if I don't blog now I can see my self getting way too comfortable not doing it at all when I get home from work, energetic or not.

 

Keep your eyes peeled for those and I shall be back soon.

Ramblings of a night owl

 

 

Apologies in advance for the ramblings of girl still awake at stupid o'clock in the morning (2:10) but fact is I can't sleep because my head is buzzing with ideas and thoughts and the only way to get rid of said buzzing is to write it down, usually I write in my diary but honestly it takes more effort to write than it does to type and I don't have that kind of energy right now. Plus this is kinda what I started this blog for in the first place, my ramblings .... so here goes.

 

No ever tells you how hard buying your own house is going to be. Like yea my mum made a point of listing all the bills I'd have to pay and yea she made a point making me do chores so that I would know what I needed to do but that's not what I mean. I mean like actually having your own place, not a rented, fully furnished, already decorated type place. A place where you get it and there is work to be done to it and because you own it guess who's doing that work, yea, you! Guess who also has to pay for said work, yea, you!

 

It's so frustrating knowing or having an ideas of how you want your home to be like but having to wait so long for it to happen. Sorry, if you're rich this post doesn't apply to you, just us working class folk and as working class you have to do things bit by bit, that bit is usually done or paid for around payday and it's really hard seeing I only get 12 of those a year.

 

As I said I know exactly what I want to do with this house and you know what, half the wall paper is already bought but even after spending all your money on stuff for the house, like wallpaper you still have to find the time and effort to bloody put it on the walls, which when you work all week and you don't get home until after 6 everyday you really struggle to find the time to do on an evening and the weekend is the only time you see family and friends or chill out after having a long shitty week at work.

 

My parents did tell me that building a home takes time and it's a constant process once you've decorated the whole house, it's taken that long that its about time to start the whole process all over again with the first room you completed.

 

I mean is any one else finding this hard or am I just ridiculously impatient?

Monday musings - Hobby Blogs

 

This week seems to have gone so much faster than last week even thought 2 days were spent in bed ill - no fun. I don't know how I managed to get through last year up until November then with out cold or even a sniffle. Since November I feel like that's all I've had. What's with all the germs floating about lately?? I think I need to step up my game with vitamins and hand sanitizers. On the positive side I had enough time to watch the rest of American Horror Story - Freak show. I have finally caught up on Season 4 bring on Season 5!

Now I need to find another series to watch. I've heard pretty little liars is a good watch so I may take a look at that next. Any suggestions on TV shows and films are welcome. My dad mentioned Interstellar so that's on my list of what to watch next too. Another film my dad has been telling me to watch all week is The Equalizer. So Sunday we went to my parents for dinner and ended up watching it so I'll definitely do a film review for that soon.

Feeling pretty proud of myself for he video I did on the Floating Flower bath bomb, I was still editing bits of it while I was at my parents. It's nice that they seem interesting in my blog and what I'm doing with it. Even though it's just kind of a hobby thing I do it's still nice that it gets noticed.

At work last week we had a new manager come in to be introduced to everyone. We all had to think of an interesting fact and mine is usually always the same and its that my lungs collapsed when I was born because I started breathing too early so technically I'm really lucky to be alive. When we got out of the meeting my friend pointed out that I should have mentioned my blog and I guess because I pretty much live online and always have I never really saw this as being a big deal. I forget that not everyone is like me and most people I know will barely know what a blog is, never mind knowing how to find them or why. So I guess that should be my new interesting fact from now on.

Is that a bit weird, to be a blogger but be overly modest about it and not tell many people?
I'd feel a bit weird about dropping it into every conversation I had with people, as if its the be all and end all of my life. Even though at the moment it does kinda rule my life, always thinking about that to blog about next or what pictures I should take to add to my blog but I don't want it to be the only thing about me at the moment it is just a hobby. I mean if I ended up doing it as a career that would be totally different. I'd get myself a banner and a badge lol no I wouldn't that would still be weird.

Anyway I hope you all enjoyed your Monday.

If you read my last post, you know that I've been spending at Lush again and that I promised to film the things I bought so that you could see them.

 

Well as promised, here is Floating flower.
