No one need me Weekend

This weekend I stayed at home while the boys headed to my husband’s parents’ house for the weekend. I was meant to join them, but I’ve been craving some alone time for weeks now, so ultimately, they went alone. When my husband asked why I wanted to stay home, I explained that I selfishly needed to not be responsible for anyone else, and just do whatever I wanted, when I wanted.

Then, when I was out for a walk with the dog this morning, I was listening to the Kylie Kelce podcast, Not Gonna Lie. Kylie discussed a TikTok post where the woman described it as she didn’t need “me time”, she needed “no one needs me time”.

I went hunting, and I found the post so that she gets full credit:

That describes it so perfectly.…

Don’t leave it until it’s too late

Today, I received the news that a friend of nearly 20 years had passed away. The only comforting information was that she was surrounded by her family in her final moments.

Selfishly, I’m coming here to write, because I’ve been blocking myself from thinking about it too much since I found out.

But I need to get it out of my head, so here I am.

After I received the text, I wrote a Facebook post so that anyone I didn’t have the phone number for, but might have known her, would see the post and know the latest. Which feels so cold in a way, and a horrible way to find out, but at the same time, I suppose I can forgive myself for not exactly thinking clearly today.…

Sunday morning sugar hangovers, oh my

It’s Sunday morning, and the boys are at the market (including our dog), while I’m at home alone, crafting. Sounds like a pretty nice, relaxing morning, right?

Except for the fact that because I dared to have a piece of cake and a soft drink last night at a friend’s birthday, my body is protesting. I woke up at 3 am with a cracking headache, and puffy eyes…hello sugar hangover, how not-nice to see you.

In all honesty, it is a nice, chilled-out morning. Today, the plans are to get outside again, since it’s a beautiful day. I’m hoping my son will be up for another bushwalk somewhere; otherwise, I might try to tempt him with a bike ride or something else.…

3 Live Chats Later I’m Online

Woooohoooo, I’m officially online under the umbrella of “Kel Me About It”.

I’m seriously excited about this.

It’s been roughly a two-week ordeal to get online, but for the most part, that’s been my fault. To get here, I had to:

  1. Sign up for a new hosting plan so I save $$$$ compared to my previous hosting (pretty much what triggered this whole new-blog thing).
  2. Transfer the sites to the new hosting plan.
  3. Transfer my old domain (for my previous blog – I’m still hosting that until the domain expires next year)
  4. Register my new domain.
  5. Prove that I’m a human and sign my life away.
  6. Create a site, start editing it, realise I broke something, delete it.
  7. Do a live chat to get my old domain transferred to my site on the new hosting.
