Well well well, look who decided to show up… Yes, for the past 4 days I have been slacking BUT for good reason. For the first 2 days of not posting I was extremely miserable, so so so grumpy, fed up and just couldn’t be bothered to do anything. I was going to write something and realised it’s going to be nothing (to me anyway). Then these past 2 days, I have felt so much better and I just wanted to enjoy having a completely opposite feeling to the previous 2 days! So I’m back people and I have 4 days worth of things to tell you… soo really, you’re welcome for my quietness.
Right, what first. Pets update! Since my last post was about them driving me nuts! First up, Lola, so a couple of days ago we realised that Lola was finding it difficult to keep her eyes open, they were blood-shot and a little swollen… and then she was sick. I initially thought it was because I accidentally threw a ball at her eye and thought I was responsible for concussing her and rupturing the whole thing (Bad mummy). Obviously was feeling terrible about it because she’s my baby! HOWEVER, we took her to the vets and it turns out that she is being affected by the disinfectant that they spray EVERYWHERE… the grass, the elevators, the floors, the doors (rhymes) and so on. The disinfectant is basically straight alcohol so it’s irritating her eyes and her stomach, mayn that was a relief for me BUT still horrible for Lola. I cannot wait until they’re able to relax about the sanitising of objects, mask wearing and temperature taking habits.
Next, Mr Zeusykins. Last time I said about him peeing on our beds and wow I wasn’t happy! Since then, he has peed on our chairs and generally still being a dick by hitting things off tables, smashing mugs and giving us his judgemental stares! Although, recently he has been begging to be picked up and cuddled which means you are very special if he chooses you. I am obviously the chosen one as he follows me around like a dog…told you he was a dog.
So onto our baby dog, Bella. She a moo. She’s being very yappy, terrorises all other dogs with her yappiness and constantly picks fights with Zeus, still very cute! However, Lola has started to put her in her place and sometimes a bit too much for her to handle but Lola is also a puppy which we do tend to forget since she’s the size of a bear! But big news, we’re training Bella to sleep by herself, this is tough for her because she’s slept in our bed from day 1 and we’re now weening her out.
Zac and I agreed about the ‘dogs in the bed’ sitch that I was talking about in my last post and honestly, it’s actually helped so much! Especially in this situation, it’s just a couple of hours before we go to sleep without dogs and it’s so nice!!! It makes me appreciate them when I see them in the morning again! Bella is still going to be in and out of the bed for a while but that’s okay with me, Zac’s happy, Bella’s happy, Lola and Zeus don’t care and I’m happy.
Next topic! Home workouts… they have been non-existent and I felt like I lost all ability to even lift a pen. Until today! Today, I did a bit of an abs sesh and a little tiny legs sesh. I was just checking to see if I’m still able to walk up the stairs when the time comes around. As I was so motivated (finally) I decided to do a bit of yoga…with Lola! I must say, she isn’t the best partner to have, she wasn’t very reliable and refused to participate for 92% of the time as she wanted her belly scratched instead BUT we got a little bit done, see below;
Final topic, general newzzz! My online classes are going well, I learned a new song today (to teach my class) and it’s so catchy: 🎵Cough Cough, Sneezy Sneezy, itchy scratchy, I say pleazy, you need to cover your mouth!🎵 we are currently learning about virus symptoms, as you can tell, coughs and sneezes are involved! Lovely!
Zac is being a real nerd now, he sits there for most of the day playing Star Wars on his PS4 while wearing his Star Wars hoodie, then on the side he’s watching DC episodes and he’s just a straight up nerdy nerd, but at least he’s my nerd 🤓 Also, all the presents he ordered for me for my birthday arrived and he wasn’t able to refrain himself from giving them to me early, so I’ve had many presents! He did so well!! A couple of jumpers and leggings! Exactly what I said I needed! He got me a couple pairs of trainers too but the sizing here is so inconsistent that unfortunately they didn’t fit, so back they go! Overall, he did very well, talented man. I’m very picky!
For me, I’m trying not to bake because I eat all cookies/brownies/biscuits/cake in one go and surely that’s not good for me! I’m trying to go walking and go to the shops as much as possible to get me out of the house and I’ll occasionally throw in a bit of an abs workout – They’re under there somewhere! I’ve been having the longest lie ins, like waking up past midday, I’m such a sloth it’s disgusting. However, good things to come: Our 1 year anniversary is in 5 days! My birthday is in 2 weeks! We are potentially visiting the UK in May! We could be going back to work in under 2 weeks! Sooo there are a few movements which are bringing me back to life, yaaay! Ohhh also, I went to the shops yesterday where a man followed me around, watched me get all my shopping, followed me to the checkout, he insisted on scanning my stuff so of course I let him go ahead, he bagged all of my items and asked for my number… I was like okay here. It’s a normal thing in China, you give your number to everyone. BUT I say this. He was messaging me this morning checking if I had breakfast and I didn’t reply so he kept sending me emojis of eggs 👀 so that’s an update on my dating life too! 😂 Zac is completely okay with it, he replies for me, because I don’t want to and he does 💁🏻♀️
That’s about it really so actually not that much over 4 days! See the reasoning behind the absence now! I took one for the team and decided to withhold my mundane posts and saved it all for 4 days later!
