This week I’m not going to lie – have been a real big struggle. It has been one of these week where I wish I could bury myself in my bed and never be seen again.
I have been unwell and generally feel runs down, like all my energy has strangely disappeared. I feel completely zapped and doing anything is an extra piece of effort. Like getting a glass a water is an effort or getting the chocolate bar from the cardboard is effort. I even found blogging to be hard work and extra effort. What is wrong with me people??
I think I can sort-off-pin-point my disappearing energy life force. Richard, my husband have been getting up at the crack of dawn. Like 4am crack of dawn! He would set the bedside alarm (and it a loud bloody annoying alarm!!) for 4am every single morning. Why is he setting the alarm so early? He’s a photographer and often need to be at venue or a conference at 6-7am in the morning. So when he wake up – so do I! And I’m then wide awake and full of energy. My whole body clock is out of sync and need to be re-tuned. When he not off photographing he still set the alarm early (as not to mess up his body clock!) so I never get a day off without that stupid alarm waking me up at the crack of dawn. By mid-morning or afternoon I’m exhausted and that when I feel more zapped. I have spoken to him about it – but he told me to just roll back to sleep – yeah tell that to my brain!
It also isn’t just my zapped energy force, I have generally been under the weather and have a cold. As my mother would say, ‘if it doesn’t rain – it pours down’.
Urgh despite all this – the world keep moving and so does my life. As much as I would like a pause button right now – I sadly don’t! A pause button where I can sneak back into bed and never be seen again. I have been out and about and I have been snapping pictures on my phone. So here my recent phone photos. Just for reference – I have a Samsung Galaxy s7 phone.
Last weekend I went to a blogger event. It was very nice and it was good to talk to people. If you saw me that day – forgive me for being sluggish (day 1 of me feeling ill).
I didn’t stay long at the blogger event so wanted to go back home asap and drink loads of Lemsip. But that not to be as my %$^££ tube broke down. Why is it when you’re in a rush to get home – something frickin break down. So I ended up in Oxford street fighting my way to get home. Words of warning people – never ever visit Oxford Street at the weekend. It’s suicidal. There were crowds of people, it was a nightmare. A pure nightmare. It didn’t help that I felt unwell and wanted to find my bus and go home. Anyway I shot this really nice picture at the front of the bus. I do like looking at the Christmas lights, does make everything more magical.
To make me feel even more rubbish. Our heating &%^%$ broke down. Can you imagine how annoyed I was. Day 3 of my illness and my home was cold! So cold that I went to Argos (effort) and brought a little fan heater. So to keep me warm was drinking loads of hot chocolate and wearing my onesie while having the little heater on. Oh my building management don’t now when they will fix it by.. cheers for that mate! Enough of this subject or my blood will boiled again.
As I said before – life still go on even when you are ill. This is a selfie I took after spending an afternoon with my little niece. I don’t know if you could tell – but I was sleepy. Having said that my niece must have an energy zapped out of her as all she wanted to do was cuddle in my arm and sleep. Awww bless. Also I love how fluffy my hair is in this photo.
I also recently went to House Of Fraser Press day for s/s17. I will be writing more about this in due course. I just love these shoes. I also just love anything from Biba.
In my effort to shake off this illness and to motivate myself in doing stuff – I baked a cake. It suppose to be a pink peppermint chocolate chips cake – it still was a peppermint chocolate chips cake – just not very pink. Doesn’t exactly look very pinterest worthy does it? It still a nice cake and it still taste of peppermint but didn’t turn out exactly what I wanted. I wanted to do a baking blog post showing how I’m a baking goddess and will have people pins my wonderful cake. Errrrm wasn’t going to happen – not in this lifetime anyway.
Anyway those are my recent phone photos. Hopefully it has given you a wonderful glimpse into my world. Oh I don’t know If I mentioned this – but I was ill.
Now don’t mind me but I will find my bed and crawled into it.
To all my American reader: Happy Thanksgiving. xx
