Reflective thought…
Getting small person in bed and asleep has been a battle for some time. Recently it’s been getting a bit better. He even has “Sleepy” cream from Lush. Tonight he was all over the place, not listening, demanding “just a little snack”, walking up and down the hallway, and throwing his blankie about the shop.…

Year of the blog
I’ve seen variations of the phrase “2019 will be the year blogging comes back” a few times recently and I have to agree. I’ve enjoyed reading blogs more and I’m wanting to write more. I agree with a Tweet I saw a few days ago which said, and I paraphrase, “people aren’t sharing any more…

The Lion King
Watched The Lion King earlier. Ben started getting annoyed towards the end “but when is the Lion Guard coming onnnn!!” 🙄 I still remember 90% of the songs and dialogue. Unsure if it’s too Disney film but it’s top five for sure. Others are Aladdin, The Mighty Ducks, Jungle Book, the Aristocats. Not counting newer…

Caffeine Hit!

I’ve missed a few but that is a solid record. Interestingly, Swarm shows only 292 check-ins, maybe it doesn’t count Foursquare check-ins? Or later additions? Hard to comprehend that B will be in primary school in August! 😲

Late nights

66% sleep quality
Since getting getting my Apple Watch, I’ve been using Pillow and Sleep++ to track my sleep better. Being ill over the past week with what is probably a viral infection has meant I haven’t been sleeping as great, a dry cough and sore throat isn’t ideal. If it wasn’t for my mates 30th last night…

Abs
No, I’m not suddenly pumping the iron, but my abs feel like they’ve taken a massive workout due to a heavy cough I’ve had. It’s been hanging around for a week, but it got worse the past day or two. So much so that my Activity on my Watch was showing measurements every section when…
