In other words, any blog post I might write starts "whinge, whine, moan..."
Therefore, I fall back on blogging with bullet points:
- Dave's coffee business is now up and running
- It is a lot of fun
- The equipment is really heavy (coffee machine alone is 65kg)
- The coffee is really good
- I'm the cashier/order taker and I wipe up mess every 3 seconds which drives the barista absolutely nuts, but keeps everything clean
- It's bloody hard work
- I really hope my gym membership is tax deductible, because if I am to continue working with him in this business, I must become much, much stronger.
- It is the season of weddings
- We were doing coffee at a wedding yesterday and it was fab
- Boy and I will go off in a couple of weeks to celebrate The Viking and his lovely's wedding
- I am really looking forward to it
- I know they will continue to be a very happy couple and be very good for each other.
- Rummy is totally bonkers
- Boy continues to claim Rummy is a dick
- He rushes outside to break up the many fights Rummy has with his doppelgänger neighbour, Rocky
- Boy is still pleased when Rummy comes to sit next to him
- In the morning, after I given him breakfast and made myself a cup of coffee, Rummy comes to sit on my lap until he gets too hot.
- I miss running and I miss the gym
- I miss that feeling of accomplishment after a workout or a run, even if it wasn't the best
- I'm going down to the gym this morning to book myself into some yoga sessions to try and free up my back
- It's nuts how much ground I have lost in such a few weeks
- My body has made it very clear it needs to move
- Finding the balance will be the challenge from here on in
- Finding the balance is always a challenge for a person who naturally enjoys extremes.
- Summer should be my best time of year, given I love warm weather
- With my hayfever, sinusitis and increased vulnerability to bugs at this time of year, I now perceive Autumn and Winter completely differently
- I was much healthier last Winter, despite the cold and the bugs flying around the office
- I will be doing a lot of research into allergies and sinusitis for next year
- The Lovely Ursus gave me a light bulb moment when she reminded me this is my tough time.
- I suspect I have become vain in my old age
- Urban Decay make up is now my drug of choice
- I had several oops moments in their counter
- I have now more eye shadows than Pantone have colours
- Some are sparkly, some shimmery and some are barely there
- I haven't decided on a "look" yet, it's all down to mood right now
- In fact, it's all down to mood. I'm sure there's a deeper meaning to my current obsession, I don't much care to think too deeply about it
- Eyebrows continue to be the bane of my existence
- However, I'm beginning to get the hang of them
- I no longer look continually cross or surprised (unless I'm cross or surprised), which I'm counting as progress.
- My finances are challenging
- Thanks to new government regulations, I am unable to consolidate my debt to a cheaper monthly payment
- I have way too much fun with cash
- I tell myself, this is a learning experience
- When I finally clear my debt, I won't be so quick with my credit card
- That was until Friday when I went to the Urban Decay counter
- It's time for me to think outside my financial box.
- I'm in my fourth decade and I haven't begun another degree
- It worries me
- I did my BA in Development Studies in my 20s
- I did my BA in Creative Writing in my 30s
- My 40s stretch in front of me and I'm not sure what to learn next
- Not that I can afford another degree
- But I am beginning to think about it.
Considering I didn't know what to write, I think I've done quite well...
That's all for now folks. Catch you later...
