    You’ve Got Text

    Hello, hello.  Welcome back to Full Fat Blah.  Where we don’t do small talk, we do small breakdowns. Where the feelings are either 0 or 100. I’m glad you’re here.  So. Something happened today. Nothing dramatic. No car crashes. No life altering news. Just a single text. Seven words. And that’s it. But I swear…

    Bridget Jones’s Empty Calendar

    Hello hello!How are you, my sweet ghostly friends? (Blink once if you’re thriving, twice if you’re mildly feral.) Did you miss me? Because I missed you.  A lot actually. But I’m happy to say, this time, my excuse for being away isn’t one of the “ohh I was too busy!” or “I didn’t have time!”…

    Lady Blahdown

    Dearest Gentle Readers, (in true Lady Whistledown fashion) I have been gone a month—a fact for which I had no valid excuse. (head down). I tried, I did. I opened my laptop, jotted down a few thoughts here and there, but never felt quite satisfied enough to publish. Admittedly, I encountered a sort of writer’s…

    Lessons on lessons on lessons

    Hello, dear friends, I’m back.  So much has happened. As most of you already know, my dear uncle has passed away…  Let’s talk about grief… my personal experience with death…  In my life, I have had four major deaths, and with each one, a new set of tools unlocked within me. Of course, it has…
