Hello friends and TGIF (thank God it’s February). My pal Helen told me this week that she felt as though January had gone by in a flash and I looked at her as though she’d just announced that she was engaged to Timothee Chalamet. 

Possibly, it dragged because I’d been anticipating this week. I’ve had a few solo days at home, something I’d imagined would be an opportunity to embrace goblin mode, be selfish and do exactly what I wanted.

Except: what is that? Now it’s here, I don’t actually know. Light a scented candle? Put on a facemask? Do those things women are told will help them ‘unwind’ and ‘recharge’ and which usually cost the earth? When it came to it, I actually wasn’t sure what I needed or wanted at all.
