The final day Today was my last payday. When I wake up tomorrow I will be unemployed. I have no idea how I’m meant to feel about this, or how I do feel about it. But I do know, I can’t lose my point streak, so I spent an hour learning Italian on Duolingo, and…

The presents thing Over the last few weeks, I’ve been trying my best to make my husband’s home life as easy, warm and full of love as possible. But today is his birthday, so what can I do to make him feel special? I didn’t organise anything extravagant or social media worthy. I hate the…

Sleep works Between midday yesterday, and this morning, I’d slept for 13 hours. It seems to have worked, I woke up and the migraine had gone. My husband and I started the day, each with a can of Monster in hand, each talking at our phones at the infuriating owl on Duolingo. I’m nailing Italian.…

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…

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…
