I dreamt you assaulted me. You just walked behind me, while I stood in an aisle, and you grabbed my bottom. I reacted and must have made some sort of noise, as everyone turned to look. You just smirked. Entitled. And walked away like you had all the right in the world to do it. […]
Read more "RIP RP?"I was told by my counsellor/therapist to journal about the year 2013. She previously asked me to create a timeline of my life and to note what I was doing and how I was feeling at those times in my life. Reading through it with her I realised that there was nothing very positive on […]
Read more "Homework"I suppose this day comes to everyone at some point. Those lucky enough to have their parents around into old age anyway. You stop being a child, a daughter, a son, and become a carer. Not officially, not full-time, but you feel like the relationship has changed a little. Adam was with me when we […]
Read more "Learning to Care"Adam got me to read ‘Tribe’ by Sebastian Junger a few weeks ago. If you can read it, you should. It explains how there are studies that show that we are happier during war, that we need a sense of community to help us to be happy. How beneficial it is to have a ‘tribe’. […]

Read more "Losses"(Written last week, on the day. Sorry – it is a long one!) This afternoon there is a colleague’s leaving drinks. We’ve worked together for 11 years and some days. It should be fun. But for days, since the invite went out, I have been slightly dreading it. She is going to be there. I […]
Read more "Don’t Look Back in Anger. Or do."I’ve written this a dozen times in my head, but haven’t got it out of me. It has been going round and round in my head for weeks, so here goes… Big Little Lies, Liane Moriarty: Jane shook her head as if to say she’d been given something she didn’t deserve. ‘Well. It’s not like […]
Read more "Big Little Lies"Many, many moons ago, I, along with two friend and the partner, signed up to the Great East Run: a half marathon around Ipswich, Suffolk. Jo, lives locally and has run it before, but it would be new to me, Adam & Sarah. Before we knew it, it was upon us. I had run an […]
Read more "Great East Run"Meh. Things are not happy today. I am cold. I am fat. I am worried about tomorrow. Meh. I have a jumper on, but am feeling chilly. I think it is more the other things on the above list which are making me feel the cold. I stepped on the scales last night pre-shower, and […]
