Invading Other People's Space

OMG!! I was standing in line this evening at the local pub waiting to order our meals. Anyway I am making sure that I am staying further enough behind the lady in front of me because of social distancing. I'm standing there for a minute or so and then I could almost feel breath on me or I could hear the breathing. So I turn around there is a woman older than myself standing about 20-30 centimetres away from me! Are you f**king deadset lady?! I could almost smell her breath on me and it was of alcohol! Lady, you are not socially distancing with a borderline who also has other mental health issues including social anxiety. Oh and I also have had my 3rd booster and so far have been lucky enough to not have had Covid!! Can you please back the f**k up?! The borderline in me wanted to turn around and say "Can you please move?", but the niceness in me thought, just breathe and shut your mouth!! Luckily the lady taking the meal orders was working extremely quickly and I got to the front of the line pretty quickly. But as I am ordering, I turn around this woman is still literally the same space away from me!! Bite your tongue Norty Borderline!

Once I got back to the table with my Dad and my housemate my anxiety levels came back down (well the Jack Daniels may have helped with that as well. LOL) I was ok, but I seriously can not believe that just because we are no longer wearing masks all the time, that people are not practising social distancing. Covid is still around, so isn't social distancing still a thing? Can someone please correct me if I am wrong?

Anyway what are your thoughts on social distancing and covid etc? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Two Word Check-In - Kmart Journal Entry

Check in with yourself using just two words. How are you doing today? Do it three times throughout the day, and use the space to illustrate your words to reflect the mood. Morning Motivated, Positive Midday Emotional, Blessed Evening Cranky, Pain Isn't it amazing how by the end of your day, it can be turned around 180 degrees!! So this morning I was motivated and feeling really positive. By the end of today, I am cranky and in so much pain that I am almost about to lose my s**t! But I actually sat down and wrote in my journal for a few hours to try and get some of the frustrations out that I have and it actually felt good to write it all down. Cleansing in a way, I guess. I am trying to learn to write it down and once I have written it down, I am trying to learn to let it go. Yeah, just like Elsa sang! Ha-Ha! So maybe I need to write in there a bit more tonight, to try and get rid of some more frustrations. I feel like I had a very productive day and now I am in...

Kmart Journal

In one of my previous blogs I mentioned a Kmart journal that I had bought myself. It has a great concept and the idea is to get to know yourself better, connect with your soul purpose and to live your best life. So it isn't a blank journal in which you can write in like a normal journal. This has thought provoking questions in which you can answer. You don't have to begin at the start of the journal, you can pick any question that you feel you can answer. I am going to include some photos of the journal so you can actually see what I am describing. I paid $9 AUD and I will say that I do think it is working for me and it is getting me to think about my life and the way in which I want to live it. So that all being said, I thought what I would do is actually pick some of the questions out of it and actually write my responses in a blog. So here goes. Your Inspirations What was the last great book you read (or movie you watched) and what did you learn from it? Is there a piece of ...

Waking Up To Dog Sh*t

I woke up this morning and came out of my room to make myself a cup of tea and the kids were so loud (it hurts my ears they are that loud and even this morning I was putting my hands over my ears to try block some of it out) and it was a struggle to make my cup of tea because of my nerve pain. I also take my nerve pain medication in the morning and in the evenings. And I take my morning medications with my cup of tea. Anyway, so I am went to the toilet while the kettle is boiling and I have to step over one dog shit that was outside of child 1's bedroom. Now look, this dog is not mine and I have to go out into the backyard and pick up all my dogs shit, so that they mower man is not mowing up large amounts of dog shit. So I don't feel that I should have to clean up after my dogs and then have to clean up after my housemates dog as well. Anyway so I step over the dog shit and go to the toilet, trying real hard not to vomit because the smell was pretty bad and it wasn't coming...
