5 things for Friday (vol. 15)

I’ve survived my first week back at work after two weeks of holiday! Truth be told, it was great to get back and see everyone, sit still, and just feel productive again.

Orange Nails

I had painted my nails a hot pink glow-in-the-dark colour before leaving for the cruise. By the time I got home, they were removed and I was ready for my next set.

I decided I’d go with orange, partly because I’m inspired by all the fall/autumn colours I’m seeing online, and partly because of Halloween this weekend. It’s on theme!

The colour I chose was actually a colour-changing colour, which I only remembered halfway through. My sister-in-law had the same one and it barely changed colour for her.…

5 things for Saturday (again, oops) vol. 14

Apparently I’m not great with rules or deadlines, because here I am posting this on a Saturday afternoon. It’s not really much of a “5 things for Friday” when it’s on a Saturday, is it? Oops.

Walking in a listy wonderland

This week has all been about lists. Lists of things to do at work before the end of the week, lists of things to do around the house, lists of things I need to think about for our upcoming holidays. Things to research. 52 lists.

SO. MANY. LISTS.

I saw someone post a prompt for ChatGPT where they asked it, based on everything it knows about them, to give them a brutal reality check. It was hilarious and eye-opening, so I decided to try it on myself.…

5 Things for Friday (on a Saturday)

I missed publishing my post yesterday, mainly because it was such a hectic day that after work I ended up on the couch falling asleep on my husband’s lap. But I wanted to get this posted, so here we are.

No sinus surgery required

A few weeks ago I mentioned going to see my doc for a few things, one of them being my sinus. I was told when I was young I had a deviated septum, and as an adult sometimes breathing through my nose is tough. So we decided to get it checked out, especially since I tend to get sinus infections semi-regularly.

Well, it turns out that I don’t have a deviated septum, nor any polyps, or any other reason that I need surgery.…

Five Things for Friday (vol. 8)

You guys, it’s been a week. I’m tired. I’m ready for bed. But I haven’t blogged in a few days so I wanted to get one posted tonight.

I’ve been trying to prioritise sleep, because most of this week my “sleep” has been more like “intermittent dozing between coughing”.

The sinus infection is still here

I want to say I’m getting better, but I don’t know. I suppose the green gunky stuff isn’t as green and gunky, so there’s that.

But I’m still taking forever to get to sleep, and I’ve nearly gone through an entire bottle of cough syrup on my own this week. I’m taking one of those fancy dry cough ones that contain dextromethorphan. Apparently, it turns off the cough signals in the brain, to which my brain just replies with “Ha!…

Five Things for Friday (vol 5)

I’m currently writing this on my couch, on my iPad, typing away on my cool foldable keyboard. With a glass of wine within reach too, of course.

(Update: When I tried posting this it wouldn’t upload the images, so I’m now posting this from my laptop on Saturday morning. Kinda spoils my section later about enjoying posting from the iPad – not if it doesn’t work!)

Clothes decluttering

Inspired by my efforts to develop a capsule wardrobe, but mostly inspired by Nicole’s fashionable blog post, I decluttered my t-shirt drawer this morning.

Since my weight loss, I’ve been slowly getting better at donating the clothes I don’t fit anymore. But my tees have been a different story. I love an oversized shirt, or comfy worn out singlets that I wear under hoodies.…
