Disciplined Desire – the Key to Happiness (Day 49)

We all hanker after things we love: pretty clothes, travelling the world, going out for coffees/partying, getting a new car, a boyfriend/girlfriend… the list is infinite. We believe that accommodating these desires will make us happy and in the meantime abide in a state of dissatisfaction and mild tension as long as we can’t. But […]

Procrastination, Chocolate Biscuits and Being a Perfectionist (Day 48)

Today I’m feeling sluggish and unmotivated.  Don’t get me wrong, there’s absolutely tonnes of stuff I could or should be doing, but I really don’t feel like doing any of it! The house needs hoovering and dusting (and a whole lot more but even just those things would be a good start). The website for […]

One Lucky Girl (Day 45)

I’m a really lucky person.  There are many many reasons why that is true, but for this daily scribble I’m going to focus on just one. Today, after more than a week without any real exercize plus a lot of time spent sitting at a computer, I headed off up the nearby hill for a […]

A Crappy Day (Day 41)

If ever there was a time when I didn’t feel like writing another daily scribble, this has to be it. Hand on heart, it’s been a fairly shitty day from start to finish; I could feel it from the moment I woke up that a drastic case of PMS was lurking in the shadows, waiting […]

Daily Nerdy Scribbles (Day 39)

Today’s post is definitely going to be short and sweet – I’m pooped once again. It seems like I talk about being tired a lot lately but then again I’m a waitress in a busy restaurant… might have something to do with it. Plus I go to bed late after staring at computers, phone screens […]

Shorter Posts and my Special Indulgence (Day 38)

I realized something yesterday as I wrote my daily scribble; this daily blogging takes up a solid hour of my time and a lot of energy. Originally the project was meant to be something light and easy to improve my writing and see if I could make some progress at blogging by being more consistent. […]

Pure Cork Like – And Pure Freakin Awesome (Day 37)

I’m sitting at the desk, blank page open ready to begin another blog post, with my head lying on my hands as I day-dream about what to write.  I have literally no idea.  Whatever follows from these two paragraphs will be as unexpected to me now, as it will be to you as you’re reading […]

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 […]

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 […]
