Lacklustre. Dull. Sad. Hurt. Tired. Teary, Hopeful. Bright. Cheery. Lacklustre. If I could draw those words as a circle, I'd do so to highlight the cycle of emotions that I'm experiencing. Rollercoaster is an apt description. And that's just in one day. I'm not sure if this is the dreaded Post-Conference-Downer or not, although I …

Back to earth with a thunk
Today was spent drinking coffee. Copious amounts of coffee. And doing the small tasks that only required minimal brain power. It was that kind of Monday. There wasn't much room for anything else! Do you do Mondays? What helps you to get through the day?
All great things are preceded by chaos
I'm not up for many words today, so I present to you my week in quotes: Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday And one final word from the wise sage that is Miss B: Has your working week been a massive roller coaster of emotions? Do you find inspiration in quotes that reflect where you …

Tears that I couldn't hide, even though I tried. …

TGIT!!!
TGIT! Yes, Thursday! Not quite the same ring as TGIF but for me, it's same same but different! I work my full time hours over a four day week so as far as I'm concerned it's the weekend! And it can't come around quick enough. The house is now quiet but for the hum of …
