The Viking describes me as a Conflux of Calamity, and it’s pretty spot on. This week at work I fell down the stairs. How? Honestly I’m not entirely sure. Stopped paying attention for a moment, next thing I knew I was on my bum. Managed to twist my ankle and smack my butt on the way down – my entire left bum cheek is black.
The really depressing part was when I had to log it in the work incident reporting system and the system informed me this was my third injury sustained at work. Yeesh.
Best
Last Sunday Monique came over to visit me and have a catch up. It was so lovely to spend time with her.
I also made lasagne from scratch (all from scratch except the pasta sheets) for the first time.
Worst
Getting injured has meant 2 days off work. That’s hard enough normally but right now things are so busy it could not have been a worse time. On top of the incredibly busy period, it was the manager’s last week before maternity leave, plus last night was the work Christmas party and I wasn’t allowed to go!
This Week’s Pic
My ankle. Plus peas. I’d show you a pic of my bruise but it wouldn’t be safe for work.
Around the Web
This video of bloggers reading mean comments cracked me up, particularly the one about scones.
This gallery of jokes written by kids had me absolutely dying with laughter.
This post on explaining white privilege to a broke white person was heavy subject matter but such an important read. As a straight, white, middle class, cis-gendered woman I am ridiculously privileged.
The trailer for Jurassic World came out and it actually looks better than I expected. Thoughts?
On KiKi & Tea
We kicked off the week with an insightful piece from Hayley on being diagnosed with, and overcoming, anxiety, panic attacks and depression. It’s so important for everyone to share their stories if we’re going to break down this stigma.
Maree shared the perfect breakfast smoothie recipe (bonus: it’s vegan). In another recipe from Sally (I’m convinced she should move in with me) she cooked up a delicious chicken and vegetable tagine and we finished off the week with a guest post from Tenille at Vision of Hope telling the story of her mother’s suicide and how it inspired her to make a difference.
How was your week? Have you ever injured yourself at work, or fallen down stairs? What did you think of the bloggers reading mean comments video?
