Weekly Tidbits

The last two weeks or so I have half survived on a mixture of hot water, fresh lemon juice and honey. No food - just drinks. I had some rather incredibly shit news early last week and the very next day my body seemed to react to the stress the news brought on. I woke up with a massive coldsore (I only ever get them when I'm super run down or stressed about once a year, if that.) and instant tonsillitis. It was as if my body was saying "Fuck this... I'm going into shutdown mode. See ya later..." and decided to give up for a while. 

I couldn't swallow any food, even my own saliva was hard to keep down it hurt that much. It was horrible. I'm actually considering getting my tonsils taken out in the future because I get it about twice a year and quite severely. Has anyone ever had them taken out before? I know kids usually get it done, but I was wondering if adults ever bother with it?

I was meant to start working on YouTube videos to incorporate into the blog but my throat has been so swollen and closed up that I sound like a broken down yeti (think Chewbacca) so that has been put on the back burner for now.

After getting considerably better I went and got my nails done and made up for a week of not eating by basically gorging myself on everything in sight. I haven't been in the mood to blog since my shitty news that I'm still dealing with but I have been keeping up to date on Instagram, posting at least once daily so make sure you follow me (@MissHijabi_blog).



So happy to learn San Churro has opened up near me! I've been twice in the last two weeks to get my Spanish chocolate fix.

I have a large pile of clothing to photograph, reviews to do, emails to get back to, etc. I've just been in such a lost space for the last two weeks, hugely lacking sleep because of stress and worry and now my laptop has died thanks to my daughter deciding it needed a shower. It did not. She then broke the TV for the fourth time by throwing balls at it. After dealing with that I went online and realised a lot of photographs on my blog weren't working so I had to re-upload a massive amount of data and images.

The shit has hit the fan so many times in the last two weeks. I'm just completely over April already. Can't wait until May rolls around! Vacation time! Hopefully it will bring me better luck and some much needed sleep...
