#BlogLife1099 - Officially on holiday/Tissue box hack

After speaking to Mama yesterday, the lift has been fixed and I will cab it to her, maybe Sunday or Monday so I'm taking my break now and haven't decided if I'll want to post while I'm away.

I feel I do need some downtime, some irresponsibility, with feeling rundown and not sleeping well, I'm a lil burnt out really.

The laptop frequently overheating and then freezing has been really annoying me but I've found a solution..

I just use my cooling laptop tray as a regular placement without the fan element as that's broken.

Now whenever I'm not writing, what I do, is place my tissue box on the lapdesk, then balance my laptop on it and boom, no more overheating, it works a treat.

So that's my shared hack, if you find it useful great. I'm just charging my electric toothbrush and will probably change the head.

It won't take me long to pack although half my laundry is still wet, ugh, always leaving at the worst possible time..

I wasn't sure what to eat but I have leftover rice, so I can cook the sticky chicken strips and have it with that.

I saw a pair of slippers I liked no red or purple shade though, boo.. I chose silver instead.

I am lifeless but all set for today (Sunday), 1hr30 minutes to kill as she changed the time to 3pmish.

But I changed my duvet and sheet, which was brutal and washed it, oof so tiring..

I trimmed my hair yesterday and actually it's behaving neatly, just about had the energy to wash it.

I'm packed but waiting until nearer the time to add the yoghurt to my overnight bag, plus my charger.

Then I will lower the boiler, take off all switches and lock up. Oh I should walk with the cake too...

Must have birthday cake, well ordinary with sprinkles, but Mama doesn't have any.

I feel bloated but decided to brave wearing the other new top, red leopard print, skin tight, but fits comfy and it's super cute.

It's still strange to view myself slimmer. Either I've reached my target weight/size or I am very close.

If I have, I'll still aim for another stone, my tum still seems oversized.

But I'm proud of myself, I look a lot healthier, less weight to carry around.

Less pressure on my body straining itself and clothes are fitting much snugglier, showing off the curves...

It would look better if I wasn't top heavy, but the twins as I call them are just there.

I'm sick of wearing baggy clothes and hiding away. I want to feel svelte and feminine.

There is going to be no more crazy weight gain. I have overhauled my eating habits.

No alcohol, barely red meat except for beef, lots more veggy/vegan options..

Drinking tons of water, exercising when I feel like it, I'm so bad at that..

Not eating late, or excessively when I'm bored but still having a hearty appetite to consume 2x meals a day, plus snacks.

Simple rules but it worked for me, no more denying carbs or sugar or that nonsense, everything in moderation.

I did really well, these past few years. My face is still round/squareish, I can't really tell..

It would be nicer to slim down my thighs, arms and tum.. Hopefully I'll recognise, the right time to stop consciously trying to lose more.

I'm not there yet though. I'm waiting to eat at Mama's, macaroni cheese, maybe a sandwich or toastie also.

It's lunchtime and I don't feel thirsty or hungry, just tired, although had a good night's block of sleep, til 6/7am and then a bit sketchy..

I wonder if she'll like the fudge? I wonder if it's good quality? I have sugary cravings at the moment, sometimes it gets tempered when drinking water, sometimes it intensifies..

Time to relax now, just over an hourish to wait... Just a lil note which is funny to me..

Her so-called friend charged me twice the cab fare amount I usually pay, so a hefty £40..

Supposed to be a saving but it was not the case, even when she's recovering from a hand sprain, I've never heard a single one of her driving friends offering to pick up groceries for her..

Seems quite one sided as she'll offer to run errands for them, without a car and suffering with chronic pain..

Anyway it's half breezy, half humid here, I didn't sleep the best. I'm just waiting for a breakfast fruit selection and an eggy avocado baguette and apple juice to get here..

Plus a chicken salad baguette for later or tomorrow, I changed my mind, can't face food yet, maybe a nap?

I put a picture on twitter, hmm, where did my appetite go? At 6/7am I felt famished...
