#BlogLife1104 - Lady in red blotches..

Time to go home in an hour, the cab is picking me up but only charging me £20 this time..

I tried on the red leopard skirt and top and although it's a fraction of a shade lighter in difference, it's not noticeable, so looks like I'm wearing a figure hugging dress..

Looks great, even though Yes, I'm noticeably top heavy, my tum and hips are quite big but it's very feminine and I'm still looking healthier than before..

I decided to take some full length selfies in my new size but forgot how to do it, ha.

Googly says, instead of selfie mode, use the regular side in the mirror and take it that way.

It worked, the first set was ok, but then plucked and re-shot them.

I should probably be using alsorts of filters to make me look good but sod it.

It's more for me, I want a visual kinda update that my body is changing for the better and that all my good days, aren't behind me..

Oh and tried the new makeup, the foundation is my shade and the eyeshadow looks softer than I anticipated, probably better if it's natural..

But I didn't try the especially bold colours, so maybe that's different..?

The more I use the Avon perfume, the more I like it.. I should eat, but I have no hunger pangs..

I kinda feel bad for leaving Mama in the lurch but it's out of my hands and to be honest, I have the same pains she does

I managed to avoid excess stuff in my bag, refused it all, binned the rest because it's nice having them lighter..

Still bulky but not taxing. I've been having strange dreams about being thrown together and sorta dating, seems unnatural.

Like more out of circumstances than compatibility. I don't really remember details much.

Anyway back home, it took an hour, lots of traffic but felt like he was still taking the scenic route...

Very slow but at least it was just £20, slightly cheaper than normal. I just ordered food for today and tomorrow, falling asleep...

Ugh I have to unpack, tidy up and tomorrow ring the maintenance to set up an appointment..

Who has the energy for any of that? Not me.. I still can't get over, me in a dress like outfit...

They always seemed to be unflattering.. But I am starting to look more and more womanly..

The boiler is clicking away, I hope it's working, I'll test it when I get up, yep heat and hot water are available.

The new slippers are so soft, fluffy and toasty to walk around in.

I just washed off my makeup and all the uc stuff is up to date so I want to have an early night and drift off to sleep, refreshed for tomorrow's potentially stressful appointment.

At some point a tiny bit of mopping to do and that's it. Ugh unfortunately this side is still boiling hot.

Luckily my fans are charged.

Ahh forgot to mention a small victory. One of the olive jars at Mama's was stuck, so once again googlied ideas.

Re-tried the sink/hot water tip, place it upside down, leave it soaking in hot water, return in 1 minute and boom done..

Well the first try, didn't do anything but I twisted it again and boom popped open, so very cool because we are both madly sprinkling olives on everything..

Rice, salads, sandwiches and solo munches :)

#BlogLife1073 - Failing at the simplest tasks...

Well..... As exciting as it appeared, things didn't work out with my nemesis the salsa jar.

I knew it would be a challenge to open with weak pained hands but not this bad...

Yeesh, tried with a towel, tried tapping, trying jamming it with a scissors, my bread knife has disappeared...

Then under a hot tap, leaving it upside down.... Nothing, nothing, nothing, not even loosened.

So I give up and will bin because every time I pass it, I keep laughibly trying to open it and it's wrecking my hands too much.

It is my own fault, I know jars are my enemy and yet I still bought it, waste of money, but it is what it is.

It largely appealed to me, so obviously can't do a review because I can't get to it.

I was looking forward to trying the cucumbers with it. I'm sure it would have been nice maybe?

Oh well, instead I had the cucumbers with cheese and it was great.

I'm actually stuffed from that lil snack. I thought I was really hungry.

I have been drinking a lot though, this horrible, humid weather is sapping my strength.

At least the good thing about having so many options, I'm not bored with the sandwich concoctions, actually I should have more rolls as I'm out of them..

It's Wednesday afternoony and at times I add to random posts and this was half done.

My stomach has been grumbling for food but it still seemed early.

The next minute I look at the time and it's 2pm. Oops. I was just booking a grocery order for tomorrow morning.

How am I staying cool during the heatwave? I'm not. I have icy water. That helps for a second.

I have a cooling mist I spray on my body from the fridge, that lasts a few minutes and then goes warm, ugh.

I have a mini fan, which does help, but the higher I have it, the longer it takes to charge..

Night time, is just too hot. I can't open the windows because they are as big as doors and it's a security risk.

I just hope it will pass soon. The UK is famous for rain, where is that??

I kinda just realised I have a lot of change and could get pakoras but should I save it for emergencies?

At the end of the month, I'm going to see exactly how much is being deducted to pay the fine each month...

Also will the scamming landlord overcharge me again? Ugh...

I shouldn't keep looking at the Wattpad stats but not that I expect to burst into popularity..

Because they are different from the smoother norm of really good writers....

But I always wonder if they will generate interest and I think now, they've all had reads and the children's story..

Paloma's Holiday Hijinks actually got a like, that pleased me.

I think my struggle is, how do I compose normal standard healthy relationships, when I haven't experienced it?

Does my voice sound authentic because sometimes it is pure fiction and I don't know if it's realistic thoughts and conversations...

How do I know what that is like? How they should be feeling or reacting?

That inner critic still says it's all boring!
