Ten Things About Me

I was only made aware of the organization Blurt earlier this month. Two people I follow on social media are taking part in Blurt’s Self Careathon this month, which is thirty-one days of self-care related prompts.

Kitty Pink Stars is doing amazing illustrations on her Instagram and Carrie Hope Fletcher is blogging her responses to the prompts on her new blog. I like the idea of blogs because it will help me get back into blogging after a couple of years of hiatus. Which is one reason why I started this blog.

I am a couple of days behind so here is day one.

Ten Things About Me

1 I am a Harry Potter geek. I have the DVD’s, the books in three formats; the physical books, the Kindle versions and the audiobooks read by Stephen Fry. I have the Trivial Pursuit questions, I am a Gryffindor and my patrons is a grey squirrel.

2 I didn’t learn to drive until four years ago when I was 32 years old. I passed my test on St Patrick’s Day, on the fourth attempt after nine months of lessons and with tonsillitis.

3 I journal. I have written my thoughts down into notebooks since I was in high school. That’s about twenty-five years worth of words and notebooks. I am currently on number fifty-two.

4 I have been single for about three years now and sometimes I love it and other times I miss having someone specific to spend time with.

5 My current favourite TV Shows are; Chicago Fire, Chicago Pd, Chicago Med, and NCIS. I've watched NCIS from its very first season and it's currently on season fifteen!!

6 I love reading. I came late to be a lover of reading because I always preferred to be drawing something instead. I have found out that I am mildly Dyslexic which would explain that. But over the last twenty years, I really enjoy losing myself in a novel or in some else's story via biographies and autobiographies.

7 I am a tea drinker. My tea of choice is strong black tea with a bit of milk and no sugar. I also like peppermint tea as well.

8 I love watching the rain. I find it soothing and have loved watching it since I was little.

9 I am an introvert. I enjoy other peoples company but after a few hours, I need to take myself off for a bit to recharge my resources.

10 I started a regular yoga practice last year at a local gym. It was one of the best things I have done for myself in the last ten years.
