It’s been a while since my last update. The world has been a little bit bonkers with the COVID crap, so I’ve been a bit slack with the blogging.

So what is new with me? I’ve been finding my new normal! Yes I know, I was never ‘normal’ to begin with… shhhh! I’m not far from my old self, but I’m damn close to it!

I was finally allowed to colour my hair! While I think I totally rocked the grey hair, and I liked the natural thing, I felt a little… dull? So it was time for a pick me up, I went pink! It was for a good cause – June was breast cancer awareness month. I raised some cash and got to feel funky! Well it’s July now, and the hair still has a pink tinge! This may now be the new normal – on the hair front ! Feels fun and so Me!

I’ve also managed to write two chapters of my sci-fi novel. It’s not a speedy process, and being a little anally retentive doesn’t help. But it’s a work in progress. I’ve shared early drafts with a few peeps and the feedback has been good. I also think I’m falling in love with my computer narrator! When he reads my words back to me, it’s just a little bit on the sexy side! Maybe that’s why I also love Big Brother? Who knew that digitally generated male voices could be a bit of a turn on? Okay, my new normal is definitely not normal!

While the COVID crap has been… crap, I have loved the isolation life! I have loved working in my PJs with hair like sulphur crested cockatoo! No bra, uggies on, music cranking… when work starts to feel like a hobby? That’s not freaking normal!

My dogs make great office companions, but they’re really shit with office gossip! Their breath stinks and they fart a lot… it’s the dogs, I swear!

My iso-ass has gotten a little wider. I blame the short trips to the coffee shop. What used to be 15 minute round trip is now only 15 steps. Damn this working from home… no! The no bra thing is still up there with the bonuses!

While my weight may have creeped up the dreaded scale, my bank balance definitely saw improvements. Well it was improving. Then I rediscovered my love of online shopping! Now my bank balance is back to normal! I know it’s not my job to single handedly stimulate the economy, but I gave it a red hot go! One of the perks of working from home- you start to realise how expensive it is just to go to work! Damn I spent a lot of money on parking, petrol, coffee and lunches when I was in the actual office. Now, I shop… simple.. NORMAL!

For now…
