I have a draft post called “Welcoming 2019” from back in February (late bloomer, I know), but I’ve decided to crack down and actually publish a post in 2019. A concept! Whether this ends up being an essay or more of a short story (probably the latter), I figured it had been far too long since my last sojourn to this little corner of the internets.
So what’s happened this year? Aside from running a business (both brick & mortar & online), going through a friendship breakup (true story) and Living My Best Life with Queen Ella (but of course)… not too much, really.
But I will say that I have many times thought about & wished to write a post — as if by simply wishing, the words would populate and the search engines, oh how they would rank! But alas, although I’ve often tried, simply thinking about doing something doth not an action make. Life lesson right there.
A few things I would like to record, in no particular order:
- This was supposed to be the year in which I revitalised my reading habit but, despite having hoards of books, I am yet to finish a book in 2019. This must change!
- There is nothing rarer than a bobby pin. Even though they cost nothing and are available at any reputable chemist, I still marvel at my/the universe’s ability to
destroyexile all bobby pins to an invisible black hole.
- My skin has been going through dramatic periods of being really great and being really effing effed up (to put it mildly and poetically). Right now I’m experiencing the latter, thanks in no small part to a heavy-meat diet… which brings me to my next point…
- I’m currently trying to be a vegetarian. Yes. You read that right. Well Gavin is & so in support, so am I. Meat free and feeling… okay. I just had some chocolate to compensate, so my sugar-free and dairy-free sides aren’t going so great. But I will say, after only about three days of the veggie life, I’ve lost weight and my aforementioned wack skin is on the up so… vegetables, yay.
I must also add that I’m currently watching The OC and loving it. This should probably be in the list above but I just… it’s just so glorious that it deserved a paragraph of its own.
I really just wanted to put a little post out there, to get back on the horse, if you will (Captain Oats?), because otherwise I just play the “I should blog” loop in my head and it gets to June and… nothing. So here’s a post for 2019!
