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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
Today was another good day. Wonder Woman was around this time for sure – if I didn’t have a streak of her inside I’d never have survived the restaurant shift today. I’m currently so pooped I can barely drag one foot in front of the other. Fridays, ah Fridays… In every restaurant, there’s always one day […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
I felt a bit down at work today, something along the lines of “Oh poor me, what did I do to deserve this cruel life” or some other nonsense (I think it’s the post-holiday-blues after our weekend away). I’m 34 years old however and at this stage, I’ve learned a few ways to bust yourself […]
We’re back home in cosy little Cork after our exciting adventures, tired and looking forward to sleeping in our own bed but also feeling a little unsettled. To be true, it’s been a year since I’ve been anywhere other than the quiet, gentle towns of Ireland’s south-west and I’m feeling delightfully stirred up by all the […]
