Day 252 – 258 First thing’s first, the Sunday of this week was the Man-shape’s birthday! I know it is late on the blog (it was on the 9th) but I can assure you, I definitely said it to him directly on the day: “Happy birthday honey! I wish you a coming year that is […]

Day 243 – 244
Day 243 – 244 The Man-shape has moved to a different flat. Thanks to weekday moving, we were on our own for most of this. I met him on Thursday when I finished work and we started filling up my wee car and working our way through boxes and bags of stuff moving everything from […]
Day 238 – 242
Day 238 – 242 First lesson I have learned that I can share with you all today: When trying to keep a blog of a year long self-development project, don’t decide that you really need to take a break and not write for a few weeks. What will happen is you will catch up to […]
Day 207
Day 207 Mum and I had an interesting chat this evening. We were talking about the choices that people make and how you can often see the consequences before they even happen. You can see exactly what result they are about to get that is exactly what they don’t want. Jillian Michaels talks about this […]
Day 206
Day 206 I have a couple of thoughts for the day. Families are weird, we will never understand them, perhaps it is best not to try but rather to just accept them as is. I’m not a big religion or “God” person. I tend to feel that it’s an essence in all of us, I […]
Day 205
Day 205 Another day spent with a friend means another refreshing reset to the outlook. This particular friend is someone I admire very much, she goes for what she wants and what she wants is rarely conventional. She has a love of science and maths and that means the jobs she pursues often involve passing […]
Day 201
Day 201 Today I had a lovely time with a mentor/friend. What made it nice for me is it didn’t degenerate into a mission to get me a job. When I see so many people in my chosen field at the moment any conversation turns into “Have you tried *insert person or place here* yet?” […]
Day 117
Day 117 I have spent the evening working on my work laptop. I wanted to make sure I handed it back all nice and organised. I cleared out the drawers at my desk today too. I have been trying to make sure all my ducks are in a row. I don’t want things to be […]
Day 109
Day 109 I’ve had a bad day. Work left me frustrated and upset (I actually hit my computer hard enough with my fist that it thought it had been dropped an shut down to protect itself… But it wasn’t the computers fault). Today it just felt like things kept coming at me and I had […]
Day 101
Day 101 This evening the man-shape and I went to the hospital to visit his gran again. She is doing a little better than either of us thought she would be at this time. As for me? I realise something today. I didn’t have much time for projects and the like but I got myself […]
