Working in the Circus – me and my clowns (Day 33)

I realized something today – I work in a bit of a circus. On one side you have the masterful show hosts – that’s us, your servers, pandering to your every need and dealing with tremendous pressure and challenges each day as we work our little socks off to provide you with a customer service […]

Too Pooped To Do Anything (Day 32)

Aw that’s annoying – I can’t keep track of my scribble days anymore by checking the date now – it’s February 1st but we’re on day 32… How will I know where I’m at???? That being said though, I’m chuffed at having made it through the whole month of January without missing a day of […]

Scatter Brains goes LIVE (Day 31)

The last day in January and I’m still scribbling away every day. Today’s post is a bit late, it’s nearly 10 pm.  It’s because I was working all day and then had loads to do after, including a live video stream for my business course (within a closed Facebook group) where I blabbed on and […]

Short and Sweet (Day 30)

It’s been a long hard day.  And I’ve been working like a dog. No not like a dog, more like a BEAST. It was very busy in the restaurant for most of my shift, as we had a large group for a funeral booked in.  I was only meant to work til 4 pm but […]

Wonder Woman cycles to work – pat on the back please (Day 29)

Yesterday I was regretting that I didn’t get much exercise over the weekend especially since I hadn’t done much in the past two weeks either (unless you count walking round Dublin for hours). Given that my evenings after work these days are jam-packed with this blogging malarkey and the business course I’m doing (which together […]

When Pizza leads to Self-Praise of Sorts (Day 28)

I’m tired and sleepy after pizza and wine so I really don’t want to sit down at this computer and write another post.  Why everyday???  Why?! And yet, there does seem to be some part of me that has a teeny-tiny bit of indomitable willpower and that part of me has me here now, however reluctantly. […]

The Joys of a Lazy Saturday (Day 27)

Today was another good day can you believe it!  That’s three days in a row now; where did cranky, moody, restless, tired, depressed, crying Liz disappear to?!  (Wherever it is, I hope she stays there!) I woke at nearly 9 am, quite late for me, having optimistically set my alarm for 8 am.  However my […]

Eco Friendly Wonder Woman (Day 25)

Today was a good day. Not that anything spectacular happened.  I didn’t have a Wonder Woman day where I ran a marathon before work or drank a litre of wheat-grass juice for breakfast (eeeeeewwwww!).  Nope, today I was a ‘last-minute, totally-average woman’. I just managed to squeeze in a deliciously hot shower before leaving the […]

Dreams versus Reality (Day 24)

I have great dreams about how to start my day well: wake early, meditate, journal, exercise, eat healthy breakfast, get shit done before work. No crappy food, no sleeping in and no needless worries about stuff I should be doing because hey, it’s only 9 am and I’ve done most of it already. Ah yes, […]

I’ll get by with a little help from my friends – that’s you guys! (Day 23)

Dearest readers of Coffee and Scribbles, I need some assistance from you all. See, I’m doing a three-week course at the moment to help people with creative businesses and a question we had to answer on day one was why do we do what we do: why do I write and why do I want […]
