Going Up…
- Bar a few corrections and a bit of printing, both my essays are done and ready to be handed in. I cannot actually put into words how stressed I’ve felt this week, it’s been horrible, so I’m really glad to have them out of the way.
- Sipping Green Monsters and tons of water. It’s amazing how the smallest lifestyle changes can make you feel so much healthier and energetic.
- Green tea with jasmine. Currently my favourite afternoon tipple.
- The prospect of a relaxing weekend with no deadlines hanging over me (well, at least not any imminent ones). I’m going to bake and cook and snuggle with Mr. LA and drink wine and sleep in and play with the children and, and, and…
- Real life friends with blogs. Go read JustBecause, just because Katy is lovely and I’ve known her since she was a giggling school girl hiding out in my sister’s bedroom. She makes granola and I expect great things from her. When you’re done with that, head over to Modal Corpus. Nat is one of the coolest people I know. She wears big boots and skirts and listens to Ramstein a lot. She makes a mean cocktail and knows how to get me very, very drunk.
- Pay day on Friday.
- Wedding daydreams.
Going Down…
- I am absolutely exhausted. The strain of the last week has really knocked me sideways. I have come to the conclusion that postgraduate study is tantamount to torture. If it doesn’t hurt, you’re probably not doing it right.
- Deciding that the essays I’ve just poured every bit of my physical and emotional being into over the last few days are rubbish.
- Crap skin. Not spotty as such, just dull, congested and generally yuk. Not sure why or what I’m going to do about it. Book a facial probably. I’ve earned it.
- Missing Izzy (who’s staying with Nanny and Papa for half term) and Mr. LA (who’s off shooting a commercial in Bristol). Loner.
- Dissertation proposal deadline in 2 weeks. This requires me to have an idea for an actual dissertation. Which I do not.

Congratulations on getting those essays done Franky, you might not be feeling 100% positive about them, but in my eyes, that’s a huge achievement 🙂 I’d say a facial is well deserved too 😉
Enjoy your weekend of R&R, I’m sure you can’t wait to have Izzy and Carl back home with you! xxx
@Laura Thank you lovely. I should feel relieved but I think the stress of the last week has really caught up with me (plus I’m hormonal) and I feel really emotional and exhausted 🙁
Hoping a little retail therapy will help!

Thank you for the mention!
Glad you got your essays in, I am sure they are awesome 🙂
The proposal you were on about the other week sounded good – if you want to chew over socio political aspects then I can get wine (or gin, or any cocktail of your choice) and make room on the sofa!

@m4dswine You’re very welcome my dear!
Wine/gin/cocktails sounds good. I’m desperate to hear about the skincare diet and the supplements you mentioned the other day!

Thanks for the mention, I have had such a busy week and not had a chance to post this week, how terrible. I have a date with my computer tomorrow night though.
Love the new blog header!!
Your dedication to your work never ceases to amaze me – well done!! Have a great weekend!
