Ramblings of a Tuesday afternoon.

I really wanted to write or type every day starting 1st Feb.... or read - which I have been doing every day, because library books come with a deadine!!

I'm reading Sex at Dawn and Notes on a Nervous Planet.

As I went to begin this bloggerooo, I received an email, which I checked on my phone (I recently turned on notifications because I was missing emails etc.). It's an email about volunteering for the games... so I went to answer it. But wait. Bubble wait.



I am also listening to a podcast: My Dad Wrote a Porno.

So fuckin' funny :D

Anyhoo... I may have an interview about providing special support for a young person, possibly with an intellectual disability.
I didn't get another job I applied for, but am happy for the lady who did, who will be supervising me.

I am going to be volunteering for the Winter Olympics and Mariposa Folk Festival :D



I must dash, I have walked to the gym today and had a nice work out with a bunch o ladies!
Step aerobics ftw!

Walked home, pottered, had furnace guys round... (upstairs wasn't getting heat).
Ate avo on toast. Shower la de daaaaah.

HG is coming and we're going to the pet shop.

Chat laters gators :)

Childfree Period Bliss

I was searching for blog names... and from typing in The Childfree Parent (my current mini project; I'll have a new one next week!!)... I came across these, without even trying...

It's becoming more common (in the Western world) to question whether or not we should be having children. So much of what we are told each day points to Why The Fuck would you do that...

* Temperature of Earth is rising.
* Icebergs melting, fires, hurricanes, floods.... not sure how much more evidence is required.

Apparently, having a child multiplies your carbon footprint by 400%

Not to mention the added impacts...
* Destroy your body
* Erase all chances of peaceful sleep
* Trample on your sex life
* Mess up your house/car

Reasons to reproduce:
* To see what a mini me would look/be like
* To have a small being who relies on me for the next X number of years. Or who ends up having to care for me.
* Sorry these are still geared towards being childfree...
* To experience pregnancy (but have my body fucked up)

I started this a few days ago.
Today I have period cramps.

Bittersweet.
So happy just to have my cycle after cancer treatment!

Have a good day <3
