Adjusting to a new normal

Staying home, no running, no bread, no gym, WFH (working from home), learning to keep myself busy at home and dealing with the anxiety Covid-19 brings. Well that escalated quickly didn’t it. One week we are plodding along washing our hands more, trying not to touch our face and the next week we can’t leave...

Hi, it’s been awhile.

It’s been awhile hasn’t it? I haven’t posted anything in ages… life has been …complicated, busy and full of the highs and lows life brings. I’ve wanted to sit down and write a few posts, commit my thoughts to digital paper but it hasn’t quite happened. Life has been good! But despite that I have...

Bucket list update: 519. Have a (flexible) 5 year plan.

If I’ve learnt anything being an army wife (and before that girlfriend) it’s this; plans rarely work out. But for years and years I’ve wanted to have a plan , for my finances, for our savings , for my job, for our future. It’s a very loose plan but it has a plan A1 and...

So can we talk about long term injury of a loved one??

So can we talk about long term injury of a loved one?? Because I feel like we don't talk about it enough. My husband is a healthy and (mostly) fit serving soldier. He’s in his 30s so naturally the wear and tear of his job has taken effect in places. We use to walk the...

28 Days of Healthy Living; Day one.

January 1st.

Isn’t January the 1st a wonderful day? The start of a new year; full of hope and joy, for some, full of dread and foreboding (so not so wonderful). Lots of us like to reflect on the past year and express our hope for the year that lays ahead of us. Some of us, perhaps...

2017 you have been brilliant.

The year is coming to an end, like most, I’ve been reflecting on the year we have had. Thinking about whether I have accomplished my goals, thinking about what I have achieved and most importantly thinking about what fun we have had. It’s been a crazy, beautiful, brilliant year with lots of change; We expanded...

Bucket List Update: 111. Start a job or career path that makes me happy.

Some people may not find my job exciting, but I love my job! And its really nice to love my job again. A year and a half ago I married my best friend and I moved away. My wonderful husband is a soldier so I knew that living together may involve moving around and there...

Camp fever

Cabin fever: idiomatic term for the claustrophobic reaction a person who is stuck indoors for an extended period has. The term describes the extreme restlessness, agitation and irritability they feel.  Camp fever: pretty much the same thing! When you live behind the wire and haven't left camp for an extended period of time.  This accurately...
