Its been s few weeks since my last update. But I am over a month into this glorious dealio! The last 2 weeks has been a extremely difficult period. Not because of a hankerin for some froffies, but the passing of my amazing nan. It was certainly coming soon, as she had struggled with her condition for years, but when it actually comes there is no way to prepare yourself. The day before, we all headed out to her nursing home and sat by her side. The next day while I was at work she passed away, and I was straight out to my family.

So…the work week is over…what to do?? I have successully gone out afer work to enjoy (hopefully my new beverage bestie) a few lemon lime & bitters. Wasnt too difficult, even when being slagged off as a wanker for not joining the few quiet ones being consumed. Considering this work week has been an absolute bucket of camel excrement, im not keen for a froffie. Maybe because Im just exhausted,but still, happy with the outcome…Hoping this deal is a steady paced progression to ‘enlightenment’.
