September Desktop Calendar

Yep, it's been a while since I've been on here. 
I've been super busy and have a thousand excuses under the sun as to why I haven't posted in for ever. 
That's a post for another day. For now I have this months calendar. 

I have to pop a little disclaimer on this month that this photo is not my own photo and i sourced it right here. 

It's something a bit florally and springy to bring in the warmer weather. 

I'll be back soon hopefully. 

Sooner rather than later.

Bad Skin

Bad food choices have led to bad skin.

Poo.

I'm almost there.

It has been a bit quiet on the blog front. I've been getting back to normal, recovering and hibernating - it's cold here you know! This week was my first week back to "normal". Driving, tutoring, full time work, cleaning and college. It was pretty tough at the beginning of the week - Tuesday was THE LONGEST day ever and I was absolutely pooped (and seriously sore) by the time I got home at 9:30pm. But I'm getting back into the swing of things. My legs got shaved (because I can lean forward now - a treat i know!), i rejoined the gym (commencing when i can at least walk normally again. i'm getting close), i painted my nails pink, attempted to treat myself to a pedicure today (unsuccessful but the thought was there), food is being baked and dishes and clothes are getting washed. I'm getting there.


I enjoyed my week off though. No pressures to do anything. I enjoyed it and think I need to stop pressuring myself to do everything. I've obviously done a bit of soul searching while flat out on the couch for days. Who knew!? I thought I was just watching the Kardashians and Grey's Anatomy. 


I feel like i'm coming back. In a slightly different way.
A better version of me. A more relaxed, why stress out me.

Here is this months calendar for your desktop.

I've got a serious thing for polka dots at the moment.

Polka dots and neon.

Have a great month.

I'm a big fan of doing this! 

I do it quite often.

A few new scars for tara

I had a little operation today. 

A laparoscopy. 

Nothing major. Just a baby making boost hopefully! 

I was starving after my bowel prep yesterday 

(and I won't go into that anymore because it's yuck).

I was most concerned about the bowel prep and having to get stitches out.

The actual operation didn't bother me at all, but scared husband the most.

I got to lay under the warm blanket. My fave part of having an operation. 

While they were cleaning the theatre before I went in, it sounded like they were clearing a dinner table.

My GP turned up + said hi. That was a nice surprise. 

I got to wear a red wrist band. It was a nice red too. 

I rocked some pretty blue shower cap type slippers. 

It made me realise I seriously need a dressing gown. Do you know how warm they are!?

I scored another pair of hospital grade pressure tights for my next plane trip.

I got to eat a roast beef and tomato sandwich in recovery. It was really good.

I now have 4 new little scars. That's a total so far of 4 little ones and 2 big ones. 

I have spent the day on the couch in my PJs with the heater on catching up on my shows.

It was a cold, rainy day and a perfect day to rest on the couch. 

I hate the feeling that I've got from the oxygen build-up in my body. 

I feel like I have air bubbles between my ribs and lungs. 

I probably do and it's annoying me. 

I'm super excited though that I don't have to get stitches taken out. 

Hip Hip Hooray for that!

And that's my story for today.

Tomorrow is more resting and catching up on the rest of my TV shows. 

Kardashians, Tabitha Taking Over + Revenge. 

Crappy shows that I love and I can't wait. I've been saving them up in preparation. 

Thanks husband for looking after me today.

Thanks a bunch. 

What have you been up to today!?
