It really is!

Talk to Joe needs its own post 🤣

So technically you had caburys creme egg and toast 👀🤣🤣

Thanks!!! I'm absolutely wrecked 🤣🤣🤣

Especially with no idea what I was doing! I'm hoping I made it in time for uni approval to proceed to submit an application! The grant deadline itself is next week 🙏 At least I know more about the whole process now!

I'm not sure the word exhausted works for how I feel right now! I've had a baptism of fire the last two weeks on grants and funding! No one really to ask for help and lord did I find out today how painful budgets are 🤣. Possibly submitted too late, but if so, I've learnt loads 👀🤣 #speirgorm

They both went to the same place 🤣

Happy birthday!!!! 🥳🌟🎂

Love it 🤣🤣🤣

I can't imagine how stressful it is 😒

Definitely 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You need a training course on doing nothing 🤣 at least for taking a longer break!!

Absolutely!!! Then because the rental market is so crazy no one would want to risk querying the gdpr!

Me top and I'm having the busiest day in a long time 😭

Wasn't there something a few years ago when the funds started buying up apartment blocks that people had to submit bank statements and proved they had at least 10k. Not sure exactly but don't think that was necessarily *after* a renter got the apartment!

One of my neighbours is very sick! I can hear them coughing and spluttering through the bathroom. Trying to work out which apartment?!

My mood hit horrifically low today. Happens me maybe once a year. Had to put my headphones on and pretend I wasn't in the office. Aware I can barely talk to people. It's like I need to recharge & avoid talking to people for a couple of days! I know I need to sit with the low & it will recalibrate!

🤣 once I'm in my room chilling it feels like that 🤣🤣

I like staying over though, it's like a mini break. Nice food glass of wine and some crap tv on the laptop 🤣 but I do be wrecked Wed after the drive back on tue night!!

I'd never cope with gym early 🤣 My alarm is set for 4.15, up at 5/5.10. Everything is packed (stay in Kildare Mondays), food etc all ready in the fridge to pop over to cooler bag! Leave at 5.30am and should be at my desk at 7.30! Thank god it's only Mondays 🤣

Oh, I loved trips to Newgrange with school! 😁 Definitely better!

On Sundays, I pack and head into bed around 7pm, early to bed and up in the car by 5.30am. Tonight I 'extra' don't mind an early night as I get to read another chapter or two of this!

Sounds like the perfect evening! I'll be in bed between 7 and 8, have to leave by 5.30am Mondays!

Baffling 🤣🤣🤣

Ah! That makes sense to pop to Drogheda from Bettystown! Not as much sense for kids seeing a skull 🤣🤣🤣

Oh yeah we would have done Clara Lara and Glendalough too! That's why Oliver Plunkets head was so weird 🤣. There was another time, not summer project but a local priest retired to a retired priests home (?). The next summer we all got a coach to visit him, with our packed lunches 🤣

As kids our summer project ran a day trip and we all went on buses to Drogheda to see Oliver Plunkets head! Considering other day trips were Mosney or Bettystown, the Drogheda has stayed in my head 🤣

Rest today now and replenish!

It is! Meeting friends has such a mental benefit, but there's the cost of the exhaustion and probably an increase in pain too!

I know it impacted me, especially after I broke my wrist. I constantly worried about it and I think that worry added to my inability to balance myself.
