You will have to excuse me, I’m going through what is politely known as a phase right now and I’m kinda in a very selfish and demanding frame of mind. There is just so much going on, and this detox thing has morphed into a total lack of interest in parties or any sort of social stuff, instead I’ve been glued to my laptop working on something old which is about to become something new. And that’s all I’m saying, …
Wish I was here… sigh Well it’s a beautiful Saturday in Cape Town, and I am sick. I finally took these defective glands on mine to a chemist, and the pharmacist says that my online diagnosis of mumps may well be correct, based on the symptoms. Those parotid glands below the ear, and the salivary glands by the jaw are quite a giveaway, apparently. As is the weird fever and general ughness that hasn’t progressed into any cold or similar. …
Amidst all this chaos, one good thing has happened – I am able to cycle again! I am going slow and only doing 15-20 minute spurts on my exercise bike, but so far I was able to cycle without my knee acting up yesterday and today. This is a HUGE relief – will have to be careful, and am resting the knee whenever I can and doing the compress thing, but if it gets through the week I may, just …
Best. Tummy. Ever. It’s been a rough week, but somehow a few little comforts have kept me from losing the plots. It really is the small things in life that count – these little comforts can so often go unnoticed, but really do brighten things up. Here are my little comforts this week: 1. My cat Tiger and his big fat tummy. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, like a fat cat with a nice tummy. When I’m feeling …
Zombie Kitteh sez ‘raaawrrr’ Hell is working right through the weekend, going to sleep after 2am on a Sunday and then not being able to sleep because you ate bread in the day and feel like shite. Utter hell is waking up early on a Monday to carry on working, and finally hitting the 14 hour mark. I managed to have a short break or two at least, but to say I feel zombified would be an understatement. I can’t …
Calm, wonderful calm… Well, I managed to survive a weekend without going out, without bread (well, except for one minor lapse – damn jalapeno sub!), without chocolate, without junk (well other than the small packet of Sun Bites)… and without exercise come to think of it, oops. What I did have was loads of delicious fresh fruit, yummy salads, rice bowls, spiced chickpeas, water, coffee (just instant though!), rest, Dexter and even an unexpected visit from my sister. I lapsed …
I was feeling so great earlier, and have been doing my utmost to stay focused and positive, but all my warm fuzzy feelings seem to be failing me right now, and having a major New Years Day zen crash. This is my first January as a fully-fledged freelancer, and what with all the insecurities and whatnot I have faced in the last month or two, it’s a pretty daunting time and running away from things during my holiday hasn’t really …
Hey look, it’s Gael! This time last week I was making plans for an Arnold’s breakfast, and was gearing up for one of the nicest Sunday’s in a while. Today, despite the utter godsend of having my sister down for most of the weekend, I’m feeling scared and unsure of things. Amazing how the universe can shift so much in a week hey, and it just goes to show that we should never assume we know anything or have any …
Spawn of satan baring its fangs Well, it’s Friday again. But I just don’t have the zen levels or energy to pretend that it’s fabulous or frivolous, so it’s not going to much of a fun post today. In a rare show of relent, the universe threw me a lifeline yesterday afternoon, during my lowest state in a while. I was really feeling like hell, and then all of a sudden my sister sms’d me out of the blue to …
I’m not feeling it today, so bear with me while I let off a big fat rant… ===rant starts here=== If things don’t settle down soon, I’m going to lose the plot. I’ve missed class for 3 weeks in a row (managing to make a Saturday class at least, but not the same), I am tired all the time, I feel like I’m either getting a cold or my sinuses are screwed again, and it feels that time is just …
