So as November slowly disappears, so does my motivation to do anything. I have a whole load of work to finish for next week and I've spent the last few hours sitting in bed, working through it veryyyy slowly, while getting distracted by Facebook/ Youtube/ music/ ANYTHING that stops me getting on and finishing. I'm usually pretty good with making ( Read more... )

Today I woke up at 11 after not sleeping for most of the night. This was partly due to me being anxious about things and my brain refusing to sleep when I tried. Another reason was that I wanted to finish a book I've been reading and that did keep me awake for a while because I couldn't put it down ( Read more... )

Afternoon everyone. This morning I began the slow process of tidying my house and sorting out stuff for work. It is a VERY slow process though, as I keep getting distracted by playing Caesar IV (which I have recently got into after being inspired by my recent trip to Rome, which I will write about when I have more time ( Read more... )

The other day, while doing my usual procrastinating browsing online, I came across a discussion about Introversion and how it is viewed in Western society.

Rainy afternoons lead to lots of creativity, for me anyway. The weather has been quite unpredictable today, so I decided to stay in. I'm now sat in my room listening to the rain fall outside and feeling quite cosy ( Read more... )

Losing someone is a funny thing. One day they’re there as usual, the next they’re gone forever. Sometimes the loss is expected due to factors such as illness but sometimes it isn’t. I’ve experienced bereavement of both types but it was my Nan’s death in September 2012 that has affected my life the most and still does. It’s only recently I’ve ( Read more... )

I've been thinking that it's the small things in life that make me happy recently. Here are some of those things ( Read more... )

I'm so, so, so cold and I can't warm up. The heating has been off all day at work and people could actually see goosebumps on my arms where I was soooo frozen. I still can't warm up even though I have a heater and an electric blanket and I DISLIKE WINTER very much ( Read more... )

So, things are quite good at the moment ( Read more... )
