The 2021 Year End Review

Man, what a year 2021 has been. I would be lying if I said I'm sad to see it go. It has been a total rollercoaster for me, some highs but mostly mediocrity or lows. On the whole, it was certainly a noticeable improvement from 2020. But in the same way that breaking your leg...

Self Isolation, Reading Slump and Winter Blues

I hope you have been taking every chance to enjoy some Yuletide cheer, such as going to markets or even simply watching cheesy Christmas films with friends. Because I haven't.  So I have good news and bad news. The good news, I tested negative for Covid. Bad news, due to the new restrictions thanks to...

Brighter Days

Sorry for the late post today. Things have been a bit busy on my end lately. Bit of a short personal update today lads. Tomorrow, I am finally going back to work! I am so excited to finally see my co-workers again and get back to the best job I've ever had. I never would...

Lockdown Limbo

Oh look, Megan is writing about the lockdown, again! Yes, I am very much aware of the tedious topic. I am sure some folk must be sick of reading about this just as I am sick of living like this. Things are getting worse here. So much so that lockdown got extended. Now, the stay...

Lockdown Number Two

I have already been through this once before. It was way longer than this is scheduled to be, so why is this one hitting so much harder? For those of you who don't live in the UK let me fill you in. Several areas in Scotland, including my city, have been placed in Level 4...

Supportive Shopping

Christmas shopping, one of the most stressful parts of the holiday in my opinion. Admittedly, this is coming from someone who worked retail for about three years and grew to hate the holiday because of it. Let me tell you, nothing kills Christmas cheer like being yelled at because you ran out of an item....

Missing Comic Con

I'm going to be honest with you, I have been pretty down this week. Yesterday should have been MCM Scotland Comic Con. The only Comic Con I go to and have for the past six years including this one. Or rather would have been. I don't tend to go to other events, I prefer smaller...

Working in the New Normal

I finally got the green light to go to work about four weeks ago, I was ecstatic. Never thought I would be so elated to go to work in my life, but here we are.  Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions, my regular workplace isn't suitable so I have been moved to another location. I'm now...

Back To Work… Kinda

Tomorrow is the first time since the UK lockdown started that I'm going to work. In fact, it's going to be the first time since then to ride the train. I have technically been working this whole time but from home. Mostly online training and check-ins. I am not going to lie, I miss proper...

Phase in, Phase out

At the time of writing, Scotland is in Phase Two on easing lockdown restrictions. Halfway there. I am starting to worry about how the lockdown might affect me when it finally ends. Again, I am one of the lucky ones so I can’t complain. Namely, my job is secure and I’m living with family. However,...
