Today I had my second Pfizer vaccine. My appointment was 10am but I went early to get it out of the way and then went for breakfast with E. I was a bit more nervous this time round because I knew what to expect from the first shot. I was fine this morning but as the day went on I felt like I was getting the flu and tonight I had fever and chills when I came to bed.

The foggy glasses thing for me is usually better when I put my glasses over the top of the mask. That or a mask with a bendy part on the nose seem to help. If I’m out power walking I’m completely fogged up no matter what.
On This Day 2018
- Goals
- Save up enough money so I can have my second kidney surgery before I’m 40. I‘m not eligible for free healthcare at the moment (even if I was, the specialist for nephroptosis is private anyway) and my insurance doesn’t cover it. Already had the same problem with the left kidney, now the right.
- Random Thoughts
- I used to find loads of Barbie stuff at carboot sales when I was big into collecting but never did see much Polly Pocket.
- Will be reviewing my new Body Shop goodies soon. I’m obsessed with green tea smellies lately! I might have to try the almond and honey! I love the pink grapefruit hand lotion for summer too.
- Studying
- “Follower count is often the most fluffy metric. Just because people follow you doesn’t mean the right people are following you.” – HubSpot Academy dropping knowledge!
On This Day 2017
- Random Thoughts
- Sometimes you just got to step away… I’ve come back to this same blog post 5 times now. I ended up watching To The Bone on Netflix.
- The fiesta in my village has just started and all I can hear is a very fast version of Yellow Submarine with loud trumpets and drums.
- I want cheese covered nachos + jalapeños.
- Puppers neighbours are the best neighbours.
- Gaming
- Nice little gaming afternoon: few levels of Crash Bandicoot and some Mario Kart Deluxe!
- Hell yeah my horse in Breath of the Wild is called Rambo! I just had to. I have another one called Chester. 😊

- Watching
- 13 Reasons Why (Netflix) made me cry a lot. It’s a rough. My sister died from suicide and I was a wreck watching it. The actors who play Hannah’s parents really captured the emotions that the family goes through. I could relate so much. It’s very difficult, even years later. Always thinking what could have been done differently and why. I would take absolute caution when watching it. Thankfully the episodes have warnings on them.

- Dear creative/geek/designer/fashion type peeps, there needs to be more geeky maxi dresses in the world. I’m a big fan of long skirts, maxi dresses and palazzo pants but I can’t find anything that expresses my geeky side in these styles. There is a Death Star maxi skirt on ThinkGeek but I’d love to see some more variety for different fandoms.
- Reading
- *Chuckles to self* “The only X and Y I want to be searching for are in my Pokémon game.” – Confidence: The Diary of an Invisible Girl by Paige Lavoie. There are so many great references in this book.
- Added Armada and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline to my wishlist.
On This Day 2012
Wonder if crimped hair a la Daryl Hannah in Splash will ever make a comeback?

- Burnt my little finger on my new GHD’s. They are HOT! It’s just below where the nail starts, so tender and it’s starting to bubble. 🤢
- I wonder what the Harajuku Lovers perfume smells like? The bottle is so cute.
