One Satisfied Writer (Day 94)

I’m so bold.  I just realized I never posted yesterday’s scribble, though I had it written and ready to go (besides adding a photo) by 7 pm last night. Oops. It’s a funny thing, but if you read that post and see where I finished it and then check the title, you might think it’s […]

Procrastinating versus Working – who’s gonna win that battle? (Day 93)

Not much to report here today.  I just spent the last ten minutes literally rolling around on the floor with the three dogs which was highly entertaining.  I spent the previous hour before that procrastinating mainly by eating crunchy nut cornflakes straight from the pack while watching youtube videos. It’s time to get some work […]

A Food Wake-up Call (Day 79)

Today was interesting: I started my morning with a scone and a large strong coffee before work and on arriving to the restaurant, felt slightly out of sorts; agitated, anxious, jittery, uneasy.  It was subtle, if anyone were to see me or talk to me, I would have been just fine, but it didn’t feel […]

A Better Day (Day 72)

I’m bored.  I don’t feel like writing this today. I don’t feel like doing anything except eating chocolate and watching TV. Since the weekend and my period and feeling so down and out, my sweet-tooth has been back in full-force once again and evening sugar fasts are gone. I’m sure they’ll come back again.  Right […]

Cork Girl heads home (Day 70)

I very nearly headed off to bed without doing today’s scribble, I completely forgot! Given it’s now 11.40 pm, forgive me but I’m not going to write much.  I didn’t leave Dublin til 7 pm and with going out last night and walking all around the city today I’m really tired. I’m sure I’ll have […]

Cork Girl goes to Dublin (Day 69)

It’s weird the moods we can get into. I’m up in Dublin; I love big cities, I’m quite fond of the Irish capital and yet right now, I would give anything to be home in Cork. I’m lonely and homesick and every little thing that goes wrong makes me want to curl up in a […]

Last-Minute-Dot-Com… Doh! (Day 68)

It’s official, I’m a total doofus. Having not booked my accommodation for Dublin until around fifteen hours before I was supposed to be arriving into Dublin, I ended up booking somewhere through AirB&B that was pending confirmation yesterday evening. A little concerned that I still didn’t have a definite place sorted for tonight, I went […]

When you appreciate the good things… (Day 51)

It’s 10.43 pm, I’ve just finished my dinner and washed the dishes and I’m just waiting to get this daily scribble done before I can head off to bed. Why so late? We were out on the town folks!  Or, as normal people would say, Alex and I headed out to the pub for a […]

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 […]

Work and Play on my Holiday (Day 47)

Upon discovering this morning that my previous blog-post contained a heinous typo (where I somehow called Tom Hanks – Tom Cruise even though in my head the screen said Hanks) I decided to write today’s daily scribble in the morning for once. It seems my eyes and brain aren’t too reliable later on in the […]
