A short blog. Migraine. Pizza. Sleep.

Today I don’t have a lot to say. I think I’ve been a good Trad Wife. My husband is off work today and we had a nice day. I’d cleaned half the flat while he was still snoozing, then I woke him up with a kiss. We went out for lunch, went shopping, saw my…

Beautiful gardens It’s been a nice day. A great day. My husband’s off work, we spent an hour walking around some beautiful gardens. We played poohsticks. We sat and just listened to the streams together. We gave honour to a Japanese temple. And we kissed in the middle of every bridge we walked over. We…

It was a logical decision I was at Tesco within ten minutes of waking up, I hadn’t stocked up on Monster for me and my husband. I threw my giant Fjallraven coat over the top of my leggings and t-shirt, and put on a pair of sliders. More a feral than a Trad Wife look,…

I was out of sorts most of the day I woke up at 1am, and couldn’t get back to sleep until 4. My husband stirred at about 2 when I put the TV on. Luckily he’s a heavy sleeper, he grunted “I love you” and fell immediately back to sleep. I watched a couple of…

What’s a love language? It was cold this morning. I woke up at 5:50, and put the heating on. I got back into bed and snuggled up to my husband. I’m cold, his ‘love language’ is physical touch, everyone wins. Who even made up love languages? Mine’s meant to be ‘Acts of service’, that’s not…

We woke up early this morning, sadly no zoo trip planned, but I was sure it would be a nice day even without red pandas. I scrolled Reddit, while my husband had gone to play Rocket League in the spare room, from what I understand it’s football, with cars, in space. I came across a…

A not so lazy Saturday morning We woke up early to get to the zoo when it opened. We really just want to see the red pandas, they’re hilarious and silly, and definitely worth a day out to see. I failed at Trad-wifery by 6:45 as I hadn’t stocked up on cans of Monster for…

Un-caffeinated I woke up with no husband, no kiss, and vitally, no can of Monster. I cannot function without caffeine. I feel like there’s a judgement against people who drink energy drinks, it’s no worse than having several coffees a day. It’s just my choice of morning stimulant. The optics of it aren’t very Trad…

A morning with mum I woke up early, no husband at home, no kiss at the door, but still a can of Monster in bed. My stomach pain has mostly gone, I still blame the hotdog. But I’m not going to give up on hotdogs altogether. Pain be damned. My mum came round, and we…
