I admit, I have neglected letting my creative writing juices flow recently. Lockdown has definitely taken its toll, but I’m forever grateful that it gave me the chance to rekindle my childhood passion for writing, even if it’s just to myself. So, I’m dusting my keyboard off and diving write in. Play on words intended.
Dear Readers,
My apologies, it’s been a while. Yes.. I’m still alive. I’ve been busy back at work trying to return to some kind of normality, or whatever the new normal is going to be. It’s been tiring to say the least, but my colleagues and I have managed to pull through. Working for one of the biggest fashion retailers on the high street definitely has its challenges. I won’t say exactly where I work, but we can just say it rhymes with ‘Hi Mark’.
With the country slowly opening back up, I can’t wait to be able to see my family and actually eat food that hasn’t been prepared by myself or my partner. I’m looking forward to the warm summer days and sitting outside and dining Al Fresco. It sounds much more sophisticated when you phrase it like that as opposed to ‘eating outside’. I’m not even close to being a sophisticated lady, but a girl can dream!
Returning to full time employment after almost four months of being sat at home, binging Netflix, spending hundreds of hours on Animal Crossing and eating more Crispy Rolls than I can count has definitely been a huge shock to the system. The biggest shock being that I’ve put on a bit of lockdown weight and hardly any of my clothes fit me anymore.
Anyway! The amount of running around I’m doing now is soon to burn that off. Plus, I bought a really cute pair of floral trousers that I NEED to fit into, so that’s my motivation! So many cute Summer Co-ords, so little time! That and I can’t afford to buy a whole new wardrobe, so healthy eating here I come. I WILL comfortably fit into my jeans again without feeling like I’m being squeezed like a tube of toothpaste that’s almost empty.
I have a week of holiday leave at the moment, so I’m using this time to catch up on things that I haven’t been doing as much recently. Blogging being one of them. Later on this week I’m being a little tester guinea pig for one of my old college friends who has recently become a tattoo apprentice. I’m super excited to get some new ink, it’s been way too long! I also can’t wait to support my friend in the early stages of her dream job. Stay tuned!
