Doing things you know you shouldn't.

This isn't going to be one of those posts where I suddenly feel the need to purge my soul and reveal that I was a shoplifter when I was a teen (I wasn't) or one of those kids that sat in the graveyard drinking three litre bottles of 'White Lightening' (that however, I was). 

It is more a case of realising that I do things I know full well I shouldn't on a daily basis, examples of this strange behaviour can / may include:

• Watching sad films (*can also include -listening to sad music) when feeling down, knowing full well it will only allow me to wallow further into the cave of sadness.
• Buying something that I know will leave my bank balance looking sickly.
• Disliking some people without any need.
• Losing touch with people.
• Feeling sorry for myself. W A L L O W I N G helps no-one.
• Eating the entire contents of two sharing bag of salt & vinegar kettle chips (this example was donated by a pal...obvs)
• Listening to the Twilight audiobook for a third time when I am not a crazed teenage fangirl (also donated by a pal..)

All relatively normal human behaviour and when I realise I am doing it 'those things I know I shouldn't' I chide myself for being a complete mard-arse. (for the non-Northen folk - 'mard-arse' - spoiled, sulky, sullen, having a tantrum, being a whinger, being difficult OR go with the Arctic Monkeys, they summed it up rather splendidly) 

So, that (as they say) is that - tell me your secrets...

I also went to Highgate Cemetery - more on that beaut later... but for now, I thought they added (quite marvellously) to my dramatic mood.

Sick of Being Sick

                     
Sick of Being Sick.

As the title suggests, I'm ill and getting rather bored of it.

I seem to have had a cough forever (read: 2 months, ever the drama queen...) and it's kicked up its game this week with an added chest infection. Super strength antibiotics, sleep, Netflix and vegetables seem to be helping matters, but I thought I would throw this out into the internet universe incase there is anyone else feeling just as shitty.

I have never had the most resilient immune system (I spent few years with tonsillitis as my sidekick) but it seems to have been ridiculously un-immune to everything over the past year. I have been trying to up my lifestyle to a healthier version, which I am not sure is making a massive difference but I understand logically that it should improve my life overall.

Taking a few days of work to binge watch the Vampire Diaries has certainly made the 'getting well' process easier to digest but I still don't feel 'well'. My face for one feels like the sahara - a desert that even my most moisturising moisturiser just won't touch...

But tomorrow will be better, episode two of Game of Thrones is on tonight so all is well with the world. If anyone has any immune boosting tips please let me know!
