Hey there!
So, you want to know all about me? Well, hold on tight because this is going to be a wild ride! I’m Kate, a fabulous 41-year-old woman who’s seen it all. I’ve been married, divorced, and haven’t quite unlocked the secret to parenthood…yet. Oh, and did I mention I recently hopped across the pond to a whole new continent? Yup, my partner, Mike, landed a fancy promotion, and off we went from charming York in the UK to the beautiful land of Vancouver, Canada. Talk about an adventure!
Now, let me give you a glimpse into my life so far. I’ve dabbled in all sorts of things, from crunching numbers in finance offices (surprisingly good at it, despite feeling like a little piece of my soul was slowly fading away every day) to running not one, but two businesses. One was a psychological therapy practice, where I helped people untangle the messes in their minds. And the other? Well, Mike and I ventured into the world of Virtual Reality Arcades with our little gem, Play It VR. It was just taking off when guess who showed up uninvited? Yep, you guessed it: Covid! Let’s just say our grand plans took a nosedive, and Play It VR sadly didn’t survive the chaos.
But fear not, my friends, for creativity has been calling my name. It’s like an itch that demands a good scratch, and I’m finally giving in! I decided to embark on a surface design course this Spring, opening up a whole new world of exciting possibilities. It’s about time I let my imagination run wild and create something truly marvellous!
Now, speaking of wild, let’s talk about my ongoing battle with weight. I’m currently on a weight-loss journey, aiming to shed a whopping 30 kilograms (or 66 pounds, if you prefer the American lingo). I’ve had some success in the past, only to watch in horror as the pounds sneakily crept back in when I least expected it. But mark my words, my friend, this year is different! This is the year I conquer the dieting demons and kick consistency into high gear. Well, at least that’s the plan… Fingers crossed, toes crossed, and everything else crossed!
And because life likes to keep things interesting, I’m also on another journey: the fertility rollercoaster. Yup, my partner and I have been trying to expand our little family for over four years now. Now, I wouldn’t say I’m losing my marbles just yet, but I did have a serious conversation with Mike about adopting a dog if things don’t work out in the baby department. Hey, furry friends bring joy too, right? Who knows, maybe my body is just waiting for me to get in tip-top shape before it decides to handle the miracle of pregnancy. It’s like a puzzle, and I’m determined to figure it out!
So, buckle up, my friend, because this crazy journey called life is just getting started. Stick around, and you’ll witness all the ups, downs, and hilarious adventures I encounter along the way. Together, we’ll laugh, we’ll cry, and we’ll probably ask ourselves more than once, “What the heck was I thinking?” But that’s the beauty of it all, isn’t it? Life is messy, unpredictable, and filled with surprises. So, let’s embrace the chaos and see where it takes us!
Stay tuned for more stories, shenanigans, and the occasional wisdom nugget. Trust me, it’s gonna be a wild ride!
