Well I’m feeling pretty pathetic. Grim came to spend some time at home getting their hair done and a good time was had. She’s not as happy with the outcome as I was hoping – a bit of miscommunication between us and the hairdresser – but it looks absolutely gorgeous and really suits her.

And then the come-down – once Grim had gone home, the next morning I went down with what can only be called the Grim-flu. i.e., every single time she comes to spend time with us, I catch any and all germs that might decide to cling to her. I have no idea why it keeps happening – no one else goes down with shit like this so constantly and I’m not gonna lie, it’s making me feel some kinda way. So in order to spend time with my daughter, I have to allocate at least two days for the leurgy that’s going to attack me once she’s gone. It fucking sucks.

I’ve been enjoying dairy free greek yoghurt with fruit (strawberries, grapes, pineapple) and I admit that part of me thought that incorporating more fruit into my diet might help with the constant constipation. But nope. I feel like I have a bowling ball stuck in my lower abdomen and nothing is making it move. So much so, the scales are not moving either. Which probably explains part of why I’m feeling so low. I’m tired, achey, sneezy, full of cough and yuck – I feel like all of the bad seven dwarves have taken up residence in my body and brought their weight with them.

I’ve forced myself to sit up and write some reviews and download a few more ARCs so that I don’t just wallow in sweat, and I feel a bit better for it. And I want to look into getting a colonic. I spoke to our hairdresser who’s had at least one before and the way she described it: afterwards she felt really free and light and I could seriously do with feeling like that.

If we manage to sort out the new sofa for my room, then I shall look into getting one. It sounds – interesting and potentially intense, but the thought of feeling free of all of the (literal) crap that’s inside me is enticing. I’ve continued watching the Journey with Wendi vlogs on YouTube and it’s made me wonder if it’s something I would be good at. The main downfall is having to be on camera – can’t really just do a voice-over for a weight loss journey vlog! Marsha Marsha Marsha -- hairdresser said if I don’t feel confident doing it as myself, I could create a character and Marsha was the first thing that came to mind! Stripes reminded me that’s it from the movie In Her Shoes which is an old favourite.

I’m going to settle down with some water, some books and a cat and see if I can try to enjoy my Saturday.
