thoughts from a drama queen in an iso box - day four

 


hello world.

the fatigue is real people, and the ounce of novelty this situation possessed has officially worn off. i am still tired, my nose is still full of gunk, that pesky cough is making itself known and i can now add a frustrating headache to the ‘spicy flu’ soup clogging up my insides.

i did feel okay enough to change into some real clothes and bypass a third consecutive pyjama day. i think i need to make a conscious effort at the back end of this iso thing to get back into the routine of looking presentable as opposed to an extension of my bedsheets; it helps with my mood and tricks my brain into thinking i have accomplished something that day.

so before i succumb to sleep for the evening, today was saturday july ninth and whilst in iso i did/thought the following:

cleaned up (a little)! i usually exist in what i would call a room of organised chaos, and i had let that chaos grow to become out of control since i came down with covid. for a room i have spent four straight days in, it was only today that the mess i had made started to really bother me! it wasn’t a full marie kondo situation, but i can see new parts of the carpet i haven’t seen in a while, so that’s a good start right?

binge watched season 1 of the amazon prime original series the boys. it had been on my ‘maybe i will watch if i have time’ list for a while and one of my co-workers loves the show, so i thought i would finally press play and see what all the fuss is about. overall, i thought it was fine. there was certainly a bunch of interesting ideas and character arcs happening in amongst the extra graphic moments which didn’t bother me as much as i thought they would. whilst i did find myself bored at points, i am definitely intrigued enough to keep watching the rest of the show. plenty to look forward to; apparently homelander is still a garbage person for two more seasons and the graphic stuff continues.

continued with my knitting. in connecting all my previously knitted squares into larger squares, i realised i only had a couch cushion sized blanket. so now i must continue knitting different coloured squares to size up my blanket to throw rug or doona cover level. i also did enjoy the moments where i was knitting whilst watching the boys – i am not sure you could name a more iconic duo….

that is enough waffle from me, i am now over halfway through iso! i will check in same time tomorrow.

love and potentially the best breakfast of all time: a vegemite, scrambled eggs and cheese jaffle!,

My favourite Disney boss ladies 💕

Hello everyone, As a young girl, I grew up watching Disney. Disney Channel TV shows and movies were most of my favourites, but the classic Disney princess stories always fascinated me too. As a 22 year old millennial, I’ve realised that these females were some of my biggest inspirations growing up, and even now. Aside from the amazing and uplifting songs that these characters have gifted the world, there are also lessons to be learned from their stories. This International Women’s Day, I thought I would share what I have learned from some classy Disney boss ladies over the years: Merida Source: Pinterest As Pixar’s first princess, Merida’s attitude could be interpreted as the anti-thesis of what the stereotypical Disney princess was supposed to aspire to. Rebelling against her mother’s wishes for her to be a prim and proper lady who marries a pre-determined suitor, Merida is a scrappy, young and fearless girl who ultimately learns the importance of compromise and loving...

my thoughts on the Star Wars sequel trilogy.... 🌟🎬😐

Hello everyone! I hope you are surviving in this weird and crazy time, and that you haven't murdered any family members yet, or put anything super embarrassing in the background of your work Zoom calls. Today is May the 4th, and most people would know that the wonderful world of Star Wars and its devoted fandom have claimed it for their annual day. 'May the Fourth be with you', and all 😉. It's really fun and hilarious, and I want to jump on the band wagon. I've been super invested in the most recent trilogy and I have some thoughts now that the Skywalker Saga has come to an end. If you're a Star Wars nerd like me, or if you are looking to get into another franchise during isolation times, keep reading and see what I thought of the sequel trilogy.... In a galaxy far, far away.... Source: wallpapersafari.com Few franchises come close to the intense adoration and fandom of Star Wars. In the spirit of reboots and ‘everything old is new again’, a new f...

thoughts from a drama queen in an iso box: day six

Image
  hello world. today has not been a day full of energy. therefore i have not had a lot of motivation to do much of anything interesting or useful. i am still rocking a bit of a cough and there is gunk still present in my head, but thankfully nothing new has presented itself. in not having much oomph today, there also isn’t much of a preamble to the highlights of today. so today was monday july eleventh and whilst in iso i did/thought the following: slept in until two o’clock pm. through trying to outrun multiple different nightmares that did not make me feel well rested and not needing to be anywhere in a hurry today – for obvious reasons… - i just kept rolling over and hitting snooze. that reminded me of early lockdown days in 2020 where i wasn’t employed at the time and could sleep in until early afternoon. it feels great in the moment, but also throws the entire vibe of the day off so that could have explained my general lack of oomph… caught up with episodes of the late...
