I haven’t felt that great this week to be honest.
Although I seem to have almost got rid of the virus I’ve had for the last few
weeks, I just seem to be feeling pretty down, wiped out and run down.
Basically, all I want to do is stay in bed and sleep. But this week has been
crazy busy with university and appointments, so that hasn’t been an option. I
don’t really like being negative on here, but I also think it’s important to
acknowledge when things are a bit crap – this is meant to be about my life
after all. Somehow, I need to find some motivation and get myself back on track
again.
After taking some time off, I was back at Uni on
Monday for another news day. I had to edit together a pretty serious video
about railway suicides. So I decided to treat myself to a Christmas Starbucks in one of
their cute Christmassy cups. I noticed they also had some adorable ceramic
Christmas mugs in the shop, which I’m so tempted to go back and buy (although
I’m not quite sure where I will put it – my mug collection is getting pretty
big!) Thankfully, my news package got some amazing feedback from my course
leader and another lecturer. They’ve even recommended that I enter it into a
competition, which was a massive complement. I’ll be sharing it on my YouTube
very soon, so keep your eyes peeled.
Freddie always manages to spread himself out in the
most uncomfortable looking positions! Yet somehow still manages to look cosy
and cute. He’s particularly loving my Dunelm teddy bear blanket at the moment!
It’s been so dark, cold and gloomy recently and as I
mentioned, I’ve been struggling with my mental health quite a bit. So when I
popped into Waitrose to get some cash out, I decided to pick up these beautiful autumnal flowers to
go in our kitchen. How gorgeous are those roses.
My Mum has made our kitchen look nice and cosy with
fairy lights. There’s a heart hanging from one of the windows and then three
lanterns, all from Waitrose. I always like to use lots of fairy lights and
candles this time of year. It helps to make the darkness a bit less dark.
I received these amazing Dr Martens for my birthday last month and completely forgot to share a photo of them with
you! So here they are – have you ever seen anything quite so pretty?! I will
definitely feel like some kind of mermaid unicorn when I wear these. There’s a ‘What
I got for my birthday’ video up over on my YouTube channel.
On Thursday, my Dad and I took the train up to Denmark
Hill for my appointment at Kings College Hospital. I had to do some exercise
tests where they monitored my breathing, oxygen saturation, heart rate and
blood pressure. I knew it would be hard, but oh my goodness it completely
knocked me out. I ended up having to give up before I passed out, so I hope
they got what they needed. Because I was so wiped out afterwards, they told me
to go down to Costa and get some sugar in me (and who was I to say no?!)
Our boy is doing so well since his surgery – he’s such
a fighter. Considering how poorly he was only a short while ago, he’s done
fantastically. This week he had his stitches taken out in two stages, but
unfortunately he’s still got to wear the inflatable collar (which he’s not
impressed with at all!) but it’s so he doesn’t re-open the wound. It’s good to
have the real Alfie back again.
A few years ago, I started a little tradition that
each year I would buy a new Christmas film. I’m building up quite a collection,
so it’s getting more and more difficult to find films to add. But this year,
after getting recommendations from some Facebook friends, I picked up a box set
of Santa Clause films and also The Nightmare Before Christmas. So I’m looking
forward to watching these over the next few weeks.
My Mum and I went over to Richard and Lisa’s yesterday
to see the bunnies, Benjie and Beatrix. They’re so cute and fluffy, so it was
nice to have a little cuddle.
You can check out my YouTube channel here, where I have recently uploaded a few new videos (and hope to
continue doing!)
I’m also trying to post on Snapchat a bit more,
so if you fancy following me, my username is Jennycole44.
If you don’t already, please give me a follow
on Bloglovin here - I can’t believe I’ve managed to hit 800 followers now! Thank
you all so much. I’m planning a giveaway as soon as I can get some bits
together!
What have you been up to this week? I always
enjoy hearing about your news and adventures!
The kitchen looks really beautiful, and those DMs are amazing!! I think I need to draw the line at 3 pairs of Docs, otherwise I'd add them to my wish list! :)
