Life Lately

Well… I thought it was time to have a little heart to heart. A chatty life catch up!

The good news is that I have my stoma reversal operation coming up at the end of April, which I’m feeling all the emotions for… It’s going to be a big change adjusting to normal life again after having Barry, now Moana for two years. I’m going to take it easy as I can during recovery as I know what I’m like and usually over do things. But it’s going to be a weird one…

In other news, work has been really good, busy but really good. It’s been a challenge at times, trying to get up to speed with new learnings, but I think that’s normal in a new job. Being with a really supportive team makes all the difference too!

The sad news is, I don’t have as much time for my blog as I once did. I’m still going to post once a week as I love it still, but I’m spending my evenings or weekends doing it, and sometimes I have crazily busy weekends that I struggle to fit it in. But today, I’m having my first lazy day in god knows how long, so I have the time to write!

Other than those three bits of news, Joe has nearly finished decorating his office! He just needs to varnish the skirting boards, add the edging on the skirting boards to hide any gaps. And then we need to buy some art work and a sofa for the back wall. We’re definitely taking a break from decorating after this one. Or, we’re getting someone else to re-do the upstairs bathroom next, but going to wait till after my op and recovery!

Oh and I’m learning French!

How have you been? Any good news to share?

    Awww good luck with the op. It is easy to say you’ll take it easy and then actually not take it easy lol. It is a hard one. I’m glad your new job is going great, all the new things to learn and take in but you’ll get there! I find blogging once a week is what I can muster, also I’m good with one post a week. Gives readers something to look forward to from your blog. My Sister is also learning French, after having done it in school, as have I. After being mid way through Emily In Paris season 1, I REALLY WANT TO INSTANTLY LEARN FRENCH lol. I hope you had a great weekend : )

    Best of luck on your surgery! Everything will be fine, I’m sure of it. <3
    I've also got less time for my blog compared to earlier so it's understandable. It can be challenging to organize yourself in the beginning with new things happening in one's life. <3

    I understand completely how hard it can be to continue to post as frequently as we may want to!
