Read about my battles with Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), my mental health, surviving both childhood sexual abuse and a 12 year relationship plagued with emotional abuse, as well personal projects / challenges, and anything vaguely Jem-related.
Oh me, oh my! Most of you know I like my geeky t-shirts.. well, I found an awesome site at work (on a break *cough*) today: Nerdy Shirts! My favourite one so far is most definitely Quick Fix: you wouldn’t believe how many times that worked for my old game cartridges as a kid. Then… read full entry »
I’ve been in so much pain I had to have an emergency dentist appointment earlier. Apparently, a deep filling in one of my teeth has caught/damaged the nerve-y stuff and I’ve got to have a root canal treatment done on July 24th. Just the thought of the words “root canal” makes me shudder, but apparently… read full entry »
Dear Jem, In case you forget sometime in the near future, please let this note serve as a reminder to you. It is not a good idea to go out in the piss-pouring rain in nothing but your pyjamas and a pair of flimsy flip-flops to watch the lightning. Not only are your flip-flops soaked,… read full entry »
When I received the photo friday ‘happiness is…’ email this morning, immediately I thought of my niece eating the fondant out of her Cadbury’s Creme Egg yesterday. It made her happy, and it made me grin like a complete prat (I do that a lot ’round my niece). Anyway, as her parents don’t agree with… read full entry »
I didn’t go into work today because I wasn’t feeling great and instead, spent most of the day munching on dry toast to get over the sicky feeling in my tummy. Anyway, come this afternoon I was feeling a bit better so decided to pop to the shop and drop some CDs in for my… read full entry »
I have sniffles and snot and a headache. My muscles have turned to wibbly jelly and my favourite mini cheesecakes from Tesco taste like ..well, nothing. :( I need sympathy because that’ll magically make me better again. Well, it probably won’t, but do it anyway. PS. Hi Rose :) Edit: D’uh! I totally forgot to… read full entry »
First off, I’d like to apologise to anyone who I snapped at, made feel uncomfortable, or just generally didn’t watch what I was typing thus unintentionally upset yesterday. It was the 6th anniversary of Ian’s death and, whilst I was generally fine and cheerful in the morning, a few things at home set me off… read full entry »
Karl’s back to work after his half term break today so not only does that mean I had to get up at 6:30am this morning, but I’ve got to get off my lazy ass and visit a job agency today. Job agency, back to bed.. job agency, back to bed.. such a tough choice. *snore*… read full entry »
Talk about a cock-up. Excuse my profanities.. I’m incredibly pissed off. While Karl and I don’t usually do anything for Valentines Day (meh, just another day to me) we decided to do the 20 minute drive to the local supermarket to pick up a bottle of wine and some quick grub (and some chocolate, for… read full entry »
It’s been a while since I updated you all on what’s going on in my life therefore I figured I might as well post… I quit my voluntary job on Friday — the one I’ve been doing since they stopped paying me in September. What with job searching and ‘stuff’ I’ve not had the time… read full entry »
