Life Lately... - May

Currently...

Reading - Nothing! I currently have three books on the go but I can't get into any of them. I need suggestions people!

Watching - I am trying to get into Homeland which I have had recorded on my Sky box for absolutely ages and I was struggling a bit. It's one of those ones where you don't know who the good guy is and I don't really know how I feel about some of the characters. I really want to like it especially as I have heard such good things so I'm persevering (and watching it now!) I really like Carrie but I just can't get on with Jessica. And to be honest I am getting into it more.



Listening to - I heard this Jason Derulo song for the first time on the way to Giraffes on Thursday night and I couldn't really believe what I was hearing. It's one of those so crap it's good songs, I think? Maybe it's just crap! I'm really into listening to songs from my emo youth at the moment. They really destress me after a long day at work. Panic! at the Disco to me is like jazz for a normal person. A song that always get me through my more emotional stages is The Verve - Love is Noise. I did something I really regretted once and I listened to this song on repeat while I walked crying through the rain.




Loving - My new ability to cope with pressure. Pressure is something I struggle with dealing with sometimes. I have crazy expectations of myself sometimes but this past couple of weeks while looking after a colleague's work I haven't lost it at all.

Loathing - How tired I am. While I haven't lost it I have been working 11 hour days and I'm really glad its over.

Weight Loss - Since last month (the day I wrote my last Life Lately was the say before I started my new diet) I have last 5 and a half pounds. I'm still fat and I've had good and bad weeks. While I haven't lost it with the pressure I have shoved more than my fair amount of Nutella in my mouth.

Life Lately....


Currently...


Reading - I am slowly working my way through The Book Thief on my Kindle, slowly not because it is one that I am struggling to read quite the opposite, it's just sad and I'm not in the mood for sad right now

Playing - Obsessed with a game called 2048, Until last week the 2048 tile eluded me but at work the other day (in my lunch hour may I add) I finally got it and I was so happy - no one else understood my joy. I have literally wasted hours on this game and thought my obsession would be over but no I need to beat my own high score!!



Listening to - Recently upgrading to Spotify Premium means I can take my awful music taste with me wherever I go - Avril Lavigne Sk8ter Boi anyone? My favourite song at the moment is Iggy Azalea - Fancy. It reminds me a little bit of Gwen Stefani from The Harajuku Girls album which I absolutely loved and along with the Greenday live album was the soundtrack to my early teenage years (yeah bit of a weird child). I also love the video.





Loving - long weekends. Doesn't really need much explanations but having a four day weekend this month was glorious. The four day weeks at work have also been a plus side and two more of these to go next month.

Loathing - my inability to get motivated at the gym or to even get to the gym. I had one really good week and then last week I haven't moved by bum at all. I did some yoga this morning but not sure if it's for me or not. Must go to gym tomorrow!!

Organising - If you know me even a little bit you will be surprised to see organising on my list but something has clicked in my head and I feel that I need to be organised. This week I have mainly been organising blog stuff - I mean I have drawn a May schedule guys - who am I? But I am actually loving planning things. I have come up with some sort of schedule for my Sunday posts and I am also looking into joining the Weekly Wishes idea over at The Nectar Collective.

Yes I did just quote myself!! But seriously I have been stuck on 47 followers for about 6 months and once I have started taking it seriously and blogging regularly 3 new followers out of nowhere. If you read my blog I would love for you to comment as to how you found me and what you enjoy and don't enjoy as much about my blog.




Much love

Toyota
