Moving the bedroom around was a strong lockdown ch

Moving the bedroom around was a strong lockdown choice. One of my strongest yet, I think. Makes me wonder why I didn’t do it sooner, and why I find myself asking “why didn’t I do that sooner?” after so many decisions to shake things up. Usually it comes down to the fear of wasting time, which is ironic given that I waste so much time ~ not ~ doing the things I want to do because of the unknown (I like to be prepared for all outcomes, okay? Especially the catastrophic). But this is a caption about bedrooms, not bigger things. You - yes you, with your fine face and fancy brain - is it perhaps time for a change?

“The more you stretch an elastic band, the more

“The more you stretch an elastic band, the more it’s likely to break, and I believe the reason so many of us are shying away from the social blossoming of last Spring is that we’re concentrating all of our energy into holding it together. It’s difficult to be jovial when you feel anything but, and it seems in the grand scheme of plates we need to keep spinning, going above and beyond in the communication department is one of least priority. Which seems counterintuitive, given the isolation that lockdown requires of us, but then who said grappling with the weight of a life-threatening pandemic would make sense?”

No More Zoom Quizzes Please: Digital Fatigue In The Age of a Pandemic - something new for you to read, just this minute uploaded! I’ve certainly found communication a lot more difficult in lockdown 3.0 and knowing it’s the same for my nearest and dearest, I explore why we can’t muster up the energy to stick on a bit of lipstick and dive right back into Zoom. Have a read and let me know what you think!

{P.S. Sorry for recycling old photos. Sometimes with the time I have it’s a toss up between writing and taking photos, and I’d much rather give you a little something to read.}

{ad - press samples. Scroll to the end of the caption for a question to answer} 🍒I’m hearing whispers on the grapevine that Valentine’s Day is cancelled. I’m sorry, what? Valentine’s Day is not cancelled. It’s very much alive and poised in anticipation, breathing and heaving, rooted in the same romance that usually conducts a symphony of glasses clinking over half-chewed plates and the intimate buzz of zips unzipping.

I of all people should know. I’m a Valentine’s baby after all, and us Valentine’s babies have a direct line to Cupid. His bow is drawn back, arrow pointed, ready to dunk you into lust or love or whatever it turns out to be.

Tell me about your crush. Could be your partner, could be somebody else even though you have a partner (👀), could be a colleague, a lost teenage romance, your best friend, your boiler man: whoever! Whoever it is that makes your 🐱 tingle, tell me what it is about them that sets you off.

Let me know your thoughts on any of the titles included and what’s next on your reading list. ☺️

Happy birthday gorgeous one @keiranmorphew! Getting better looking every year, you lucky bastard. ❤️ Keiran hates it when I make a fuss on his birthday (we shall not speak of the year of the unwanted surprise party), so make sure you make a fuss and say happy birthday hehe. 🎉🎁🥳

Can I level with you? Some days I wake up feeling

Can I level with you? Some days I wake up feeling hopeless, and some days I wake up thinking it’s all going to be okay. The feelings themselves aren’t so bad, I’m just tired of being on an emotional rollercoaster and feeling like a different person one day to the next. The extremes are so extreme.

Maybe this is the natural result of spending nearly a year trying to continue as normal when the environment is anything but. Maybe it’s sadness spilling out of me in bursts like a broken dam when I’m full to the brim with everything. Or maybe I’m just having a lot of bad days and I’m actually okay.

Who knows? I certainly don’t. You probably don’t either. But if one day you’re hyper and hopeful and the next you’re crying: hello, me too. 👋 🙃
