Monthly Musings: November 2017

An overview of opinions and observations for the month.

01/11/2017 @17:55
Spent over 5hrs today sat in meetings; it's more mentally draining than working.
[feeling exhausted]

02/11/2017 @22:06
Replace a watch battery I thought. It will be easy I thought. Fuck off.

02/11/2017 @23:55
Just chilling with Cherry 🍒🐀 xo

03/11/2017 @01:04
25,000 words into my novel, Lightfade. Been really productive with this lately! :D

04/11/2017 @06:47
First thing she does is check on "the girls" to make sure they're okay ❤️ xo

04/11/2017 @10:39
50 days until Christmas. It always seems miles away until you actually stop to realise that's only 7 weeks!

04/11/2017 @13:28
So proud of handling Cherry 🍒 without using gloves 😊❤️ xo

04/11/2017 @14:02
She's a proper fiend for peanut butter 😊❤️ xo

04/11/2017 @16:24
4:20, you know what that means 👀 Putting the lights on cause the clocks have changed and it's going dark as fuck already!

04/11/2017 @19:01
Outside sounds like the soundtrack to the new Call of Duty: WWII.

Jesus fucking christ, I thought Westworld was confusing?!

Just pulled down the park - it was a little bit odd. So Char spoke to some woman who was feeding the ducks, and she offered him some bread to throw in. Making small talk whilst they fed ducks. Comes time to leave, she goes to give me a hug & I'm like alright, it's a bit odd since we've literally been speaking for about 10 minutes and I don't even know you but whatever - so I gives her a hug, and she proper holds onto me for like a really long time, then kisses my cheek twice, then bites my earlobe and breathes heavily into my ear. I'm like, uhm okay. Then we're like, okay bye, have a nice day. As we're walking away she shouts from a distance "BYE - LOVE YOU". Like, okay. Wtaf?

06/11/2017 @22:05
These pair though! Cuties! 🐀🍒❤️

07/11/2017 @00:56
So thankful I finally found the motivation and dedication to really work on a proper novel. I always aspired to be an author, even if I ever only wrote one book - I just want to get something published, something that is decent, and I really feel this current story "Lightfade" has the potential ♥

07/11/2017 @09:01
Madness, absolute madness. Five years ago when my little Princess truly was little 😍❤️ xo

07/11/2017 @19:11
Interested to hear all opinions. Basically I don't see the point of romantic relationships. I know that will likely sound bizarre in a society that is geared to encourage people to settle down... but I genuinely don't get the attraction? I've had relationships and they've only ever served to ultimately cause me stress, drama, disappointment and emotional trauma. I look at it like this - the "benefits" are so minimal and disruptive to my lifestyle and only serve to interrupt me from focusing on bettering myself and enjoying my life. What is the point? What am I missing? Or am I right for feeling how I do about it? What does a relationship actually provide that you can't have without one?
[feeling curious]

07/11/2017 @23:36
This show completely baffles me. I try to be sensitive, but this to me is just bewildering; young children who don't even understand what gender is, confused and developing, and having their sense of identity distorted for validation. To me Sebastian experimenting with dressing as a girl has extreme external interference convincing him that he should be a girl as a result and abusing his confusion for publicity and attention. Like the snowflake generation who can't get attention for themselves, so like Munchhausen's they use their kids to get it. Like Tim and Jen Okazaki on Angry Boys forcing "skating gay style" on her straight son for publicity. It's all very strange.

Should probably go to bed, but it's difficult when you're really invested in something so productive! 31,000 words in, and 168 pages - shit is going down major at the minute! All the foreplay that's gone into the build up of anticipation has reached fever pitch and the plot has exploded into chaos! 😍

09/11/2017 @08:32
Wake fucking up music 👌
[listening to Limp Bizkit]

09/11/2017 @19:54
Well, that's my night in a nutshell!

09/11/2017 @21:57
Jwaal, the world of Lightfade 😊

10/11/2017 @18:38
Nice to catch up with an old friend for a swift jar this lunchtime 👌

Pretty much 👌

It's almost like feminism is attacking "the patriarchy" with unsubstantiated accusations to bring down powerful white men ðŸĪ”- I had no idea it was even ethical to slam headlines full of what could amount to defamation and slander all over tabloids 😕

11/11/2017 @21:13
Take care out there folks, Police are on the usual Christmas drink drive clamp down. I went out last night and drank much too much so I left the car at the pub and took a bus home. We passed a Police checkpoint where they were breathalysing drivers. The Police waved the bus through and I arrived home safely and accident free. It was really surprising to be honest since I've never actually driven a bus before and I have no idea where I even got it from.

12/11/2017 @07:13

To my friends in the USA, can someone advise from an informed perspective: can POTUS commence military operations (i.e. launch nukes and start WW3) without the backing of Congress?

Playing with these buggos before she has to go back her Mum's 😍🐁 xo

13/11/2017 @00:27
34,600 words in, 190 pages. Either you read this novel when it's finished and enjoy it, or you're a prick! 😂

Unexpectedly deep and profoundly emotional experience!

At least the bus routes they haven't cut yet are reliable 🙄 he says as he is on track for only being about 20 minutes late to work... 😑ðŸ”Ŧ

15/11/2017 @01:24
Just 100% completed this little indie gem in a single sitting :)
[playing Hue]

15/11/2017 @08:32
Oh how times have changed 😊❤️ and this my friends is why I appreciate Ilysha so much and cherish my time with her! 💞 xo

15/11/2017 @09:22
There are 17 people on the bus when I get on it, approximately 5 people waiting at every bus stop, and 15 bus stops between my house and work. How many people will be on the bus by the time I'm late for work? ðŸĪ”

16/11/2017 @00:56
Still undecided about this; the game play is so damn sluggish (see what I did there? The game is about worms but I likened them to slugs ðŸĪŠ) and they have a tendency to not go where you tell them to, disobedient little fuckers! It's definitely not because I suck at the game! 😂

If it's a Wednesday and you haven't had a curry, is it really even a Wednesday? ðŸĪ”

Little madam really is flued up to the eyeballs. Poor duck has woke me up 5 times tonight coughing and/or crying ðŸ˜ĒðŸ˜ī xo

I sigh, a mixture of relaxation and contentedness. The morning had been frosty, a bitter cold seeping into my bones, but now the shower cascaded soothing hot waterfalls over my exhausted frame. The scent of coconut and shea butter decorated the air, as I lathered it onto my vulnerable exposed flesh. My eyes closed, basking in the tranquility of this rare moment of solitude. "I need a poo", came a small voice breaking the silence. My eyes opened to see Ilysha sat on the toilet. Thirty seconds later, she told me she needed help wiping. Showering as a parent sucks lol. ðŸ˜ģ😓😂 x

22/11/2017 @00:45
These little cuties; Shimmer is still my fave, which is good since Cherry is Ilysha's fave 😊 xo

22/11/2017 @01:19
I slide my tired aching body into my bed, the soft sheets caressing and encapsulating me into a cocoon of relaxation. As the duvet acclimatises to my body temperature, it embraces and surrounds me. My head sinks into the soft feather pillow, my breathing soft and light as I draw the covers around me blocking out the cool night air. I am so at peace and ready to drift off to sleep, to dream of magical enchanting things. I reach across to put my phone on charge and realise... my fucking charger is downstairs. And now I have to haul my naked ass down there to fetch it. Out of this lovely cosy bed. Fuck my life.

22/11/2017
@FirstGroupplc - absolute cretins aren't you? Strip the Potteries buses to the bone, then have the absolute audacity to increase fares on the same day as cutting 64 routes!? Absolute jokers aren't ya?!!

22/11/2017 @21:01
I've had split condoms more reliable than First PMT.

That grim moment when the spider is that stedded up you have to stomp the bastard twice in boots to kill it.

23/11/2017 @09:22
People you may know: 1 of your hundreds of friends knows this person, so you possibly do too. If you don't know them, don't worry, we'll only suggest you add them every single day that you log into Facebook. You're welcome. 😂😂

24/11/2017 @18:14
Well defo got my exercise in today. Walked work faster than the bus could get me there. Walked home faster than the bus could get me here.
[feeling hot and sweaty]

24/11/2017 @18:52
So little uns Mum has just dropped her off and said that apparently Ilysha has been crying at school because she doesn't want to come my house, and wants to stay at hers instead - said sumat about "she doesn't want to have to bribe her so she has told her she is old enough now to decide for herself whether or not she wants to visit me"! It's ironic considering how often she cries and kicks off when it's time to go home to her Mum's!!
[feeling irritated]

25/11/2017 @10:48
Had a new experience this morning, called "The Shower Hijack". It goes a little something like this. I'm in the shower, when Ilysha appears next to it and starts bantering with me. Next thing she's stripped off and decided she's climbing in with me. She comes and stands under the water, then complains that I am stopping the water going on her because it's just going on me. Next thing I'm getting forced out my own shower and Ilysha is having one instead. Fun times, basically my escape for 10 minutes of relaxation is now under threat of being hijacked at any time! 😒😂

25/11/2017 @12:00
Ilysha is currently marking off an Argos catalogue for what she wants for Christmas. So far my projected expenditure is £34,673.99
[feeling amused]

25/11/2017 @20:23
Only bad thing about cold weather is that my gas meter takes a kicking. Swear spent more on heating today than the last 6 months combined.

26/11/2017 @09:37
Someone approves of the new winter wardrobe 😍 I was gonna save them until December but then Ilysha decided she wanted to wear a vest top & shorts today! I was like, right, what weather appropriate clothing can I persuade her with!? 😂👌 xo

26/11/2017 @10:21
I can't get over how grown up my little girl is getting - I look at photos of her, like the one of her in her new outfit earlier, and I realise what a beautiful young lady she is becoming ❤️ xo

26/11/2017 @19:55
Been a busy, fun-filled weekend, now it's time to kick back with a few stellas and wrap this up 👊

27/11/2017 @17:53
Really need get a handle on this Xmas prep lark, it's approaching at lightspeed again and I ain't even started 😂🙈

28/11/2017 @08:31
I've figured out how to make the bus be late:
1) Get to the bus stop on time.
2) Wait.

Homies loyalty is a nosebleed section away from eloping.../
I came down from those 'highs', no goodbyes -
hope they know I wasn't coping?
And supposing they do
it won't rewind what we went through.../
Over the years we grew,
earned more scars than we even knew,
that much is true.../
And I hoped that you could make it too -
escape from the demons chasing you...

29/11/2017 @22:54
Just uploaded some more photos of my little Princess looking absolutely devastated at being forced to visit her Dad - as you can see, she hates it - she clearly doesn't want to visit me 🙄😂

@LV_Broker can you please stop resetting the leaderboard on the Rooftop Runner game!! https://t.co/Z0nZmiui0Q - our staff had the top 5 place including top place at over 11,000 points, and now it's been reset to blank for the second time in a week!! #unfair

30/11/2017 @10:35
Love life? Yeah thanks I do.
Romance? Nah thanks I'm cool.
I'm fine without all the drama -
I get enough from Ilysha's baby mama.

30/11/2017 @00:45
Facebook doesn't like sharing YouTube videos anymore, so guess I gotta do it like this! Throwback track to 2015. If you've never heard my music, now's a good time to start ;)

Just climbed into a bath of ice. j/k, it's actually my bed - it just feels like a bath of ice.

Trying figure out how the flying fuck I'm fitting a Xmas tree in this damn living room!

30/11/2017 @22:33
If they don't already exist, someone should make Xmas trees that only have one side ðŸŒē let's be honest, most people have them in alcoves/up the corner - you can only see half the bastard thing anyway!

30/11/2017 @23:39
Seen this bad boy I came across in Tesco earlier?! Like wtf since when did Enid get all political!? "Enid Blyton's books are beloved the world over and The Famous Five have been the perennial favourite of her fans. Now, in this new series of Enid Blyton for Grown-Ups, can George, Dick, Anne, Julian and Timmy survive the ultimate test of their friendship: Brexit?"
