2020 – A little trip down memory lane

As we’re playing catch-up, not a whole lot happened in 2020, but I thought I’d recap a few things that did happen throughout the year!

At the time, I was 28 years old and working at my first aged care job in a residential facility (KG) in Bundaberg. I’d just hit my two-year mark there, having started back in 2018, and was still doing the night shift lifestyle.

July – A little medical mishap!

In July, I had a cyst removed that had grown on the outside of my stomach. It was the tiniest thing, but I absolutely hated the way it looked, so I decided to have it removed.

Little did I know what a saga that would turn into!

Initially, I had stitches for a couple of weeks. Once they were removed, I was left with Steri-Strips covering the wound/scar. All seemed well until I noticed the wound had started opening up, and the Steri-Strips were practically pointing inwards. I’m thinking… that’s definitely not supposed to happen!

So, off to the doctor I went. More stitches!

And just when I thought that was the end of it, it was time to have those stitches removed. BAM! INFECTION!

The wound had swollen up terribly, and I’m pretty sure I even fainted. Ended up needing an ambulance.

So much for a nice, neat little scar! Instead, I’m left with a rather unpleasant reminder of the whole experience. 😂

I’m going to spare you all the photos of that one. I don’t want to scare you off, especially when I’m trying to bring you all back! LOL.

September – Movie night!

In September, I headed to Big Screen Cinemas in Hervey Bay to watch After We Collided in their deluxe cinemas.

Nice, comfy chairs! Can’t complain about that.

I’m a HUGE fan of the book series, so naturally I had to go and see the movie.

I actually have more books from the series, but I just can’t seem to find them. Typical!

November – Gold Coast getaway!

In November, I went on a little mini holiday with the family to the Gold Coast. We stayed at BIG4 Holiday Park and also made a trip to Dreamworld.

A nice little getaway and a chance to get out of Bundaberg for a bit!

And that’s a wrap on 2020!

As I said, it wasn’t exactly the busiest year, but there were still a few memories worth looking back on.

Between work, a rather dramatic trip to the doctor and a couple of little outings, that pretty much sums up my 2020!

Now, let’s move on to 2021 and see what else I’ve been up to. 😉

Happy new year!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a good Christmas 🙂 

Today is New Year’s Eve (3.40am) I’m in bed and I’m about to sleep. Lol

I have two weeks off work holidays, I should be with family but that didn’t happen lol. 

So what’s new with me? I got a hair cut 🙂 so much cooler in these hot months! I plan on changing my hair colour soon!


Please excuse the snapchat filters!! 

I’ve been watching pretty little liars when I can, I started from the beginning. I’m up to season 5 now. It’s been good to rewatch but I’m getting so angry with it! It almost makes me not want to watch it. Lol

Has anyone seen lost girl? That will be my next tv series to watch. I have heard it’s pretty good. 

Christmas was a bit of a down day for me. I missed my family. I had planned to be with my family but that didn’t happen due to circumstances beyond my control. It’s ok though. I will see my family soon enough. The best part of the day was spending the day with other close people, and I had a ride in my baby 🙂


What did you guys get for Christmas?
I got myself a new iPad Pro, it’s great I love it!
I also received computer speakers & a Bluetooth speaker 🙂 which is what I wanted. 


I have a driving lesson booked later in January 🙂 I just want to see where I’m at with my driving. I need to be driving more. 

I saw a 2 day trial for the sims 4, and by the end of it I just had to buy it, as it was on sale, such a bargain, and I’ve been playing it like crazy. 

I cooked silverside (corned meat) for the first time, and it turned out just beautiful! I served it with wedges (best wedges) and white finishing sauce!

I finally ended up buying cords for my Nintendo 64. I had a game of golden eye. 
My all time fave games on 64 are goldeneye, Mario kart & super Mario. What’s yours?

I went out for dinner last night. Shared pork ribs! Was nice 🙂

Anyways I best get to sleep! I have a long day of drinking into the new year LOL! 

How are you celebrating New Year’s Eve?  I hope everyone has a happy and safe new year! 

Goodnight everyone!
Love & light

Getting back on track. 

Starting to get back on track, drinking more water, going for more walks. 

I am determined to start the gym back up on Monday as I have my doctors appointment tomorrow. 

Been in a bit of pain today, it sucks! Managed to do the grocery shopping, I am hoping to get some washing done tomorrow before I head out for my doctors appointment. I just finished cleaning my room, I had stuff everywhere since coming home on Monday after being away for a few days. 

I’m up to season 4 of gossip girl! Loving this show! Does anyone else like gossip girl? 

Anyways I’m off for now, about to go for a walk, i hate to admit it but I have started playing Pokemon go. It’s so stupid but atleast I’m getting some exercise. 

So until next time,  here’s some random photos of me.
