The Ultimate Privilege - Time to Rest.

The Ultimate Privilege – Time to Rest.

My life is peculiar right now. I’m in a sort of employment limbo, and it’s pretty uncomfortable. I tendered my resignation on the twenty-fourth of March, but I’m still there on the twenty-first of May.

Part of the challenge of having porous boundaries is that one tends to take other people’s problems on as one’s own. This is, frankly, bullshit and worthy of a slap around the back of the head. I…

Nesting.

For two blissful days, I have stayed in bed. It’s been delicious, and I have felt no shame about it whatsoever. I’ve read, I’ve listened to music and stories, I’ve watched the odd YouTube video, and I’ve fallen in complete and irrevocable love with Coldplay’s Everyday Life, an album so beautiful that I find it hard not to cry when I listen to it. I have dozed and napped until my body felt loose…

Stability is a thing I can only dream of when it comes to my weight. 😂 I’m still feeling better, though, and learning what I can and can’t get away with. Am I still overweight? Yes. Am I still heading in the right direction? Yes. Has all my weight loss happened without additional exercise? Yes. (Because my joints have been under immense pressure for years, let’s face it. They need some TLC and time to adapt.) Am I pleased with myself? Still yes. Am I in a rush? Apparently not. Buying clothes in a size 16 instead of a size 20 is still a buzz, not gonna lie. Still got a way to go but it’s not nearly as far as I’ve already come. #imhappywithme #actualexerciseisnext http://bit.ly/2I9UdUz

Have been feeling a bit pants this week. Some weeks are a bit like crawling through treacle. CPE is usually the answer. 🥰 http://bit.ly/2XiAhoS

Not sure if its origins but @sir_hurfsalot sent me this earlier and it made me laugh. http://bit.ly/2WgREcr

Here’s the thing: I was lucky. I had no hesitation, no doubts, and I understood my capabilities as a mother of one child at 24 and two children at 26. I have never regretted my actions and I never second-guessed my choices. I was brought up to understand that while no woman wants to be in a position where she needs an abortion, sometimes life doesn’t go to plan. And a woman should always have a choice. ALWAYS! Ultimately if she deems abortion immoral or against her values and chooses to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term, that’s OK as long as she gets to make the choice herself with full knowledge of all options available presented in an objective manner. How dare men - any men! - tell women that they can’t have access to safe and legal termination services, and how dare they attempt to stigmatize a woman’s right to choose. This is one topic that I have absolutely no off button for. I don’t care what your opinion is, you can think whatever you like. But you have no right to make generalised decisions for specific women in specific situations. #youknowme http://bit.ly/2LKw4t2
