If we were “having” coffee #11

Hi everyone! How are you? 💗 The last time I did one of these posts was in 2021!! 🤯 I can’t believe it, in that one which you can read here I was introducing you to our dog Bella and now she’s a hot commodity in our house 🤣. I think it’s fair to say that a coffee chat is well overdue for us! 🙌 If you’re unfamiliar with our chats then I’ll have to explain that I used to say “having” coffee instead of actually having it because I couldn’t actually drink coffee so we were keeping up pretences but now I’m on good medication so I enjoy iced Caramel decaffeinated Lattes!! Big changes I tell you 🤣. We’ll still say “having” tho for the novelty of it and to acknowledge how much things have changed! For the sake of this post I will be having a chai latte as I’m addicted to those, what will you be having? I’m so excited for this chat, I’ve been busy lately so there’s some things to mention and some things to ask you too so let’s jump right in!

If we were “having” coffee I’d tell you that at the beginning of the week on Monday I tested positive for covid alongside my mum! (My sis tested positive the day before and my dad is still negative for some strange reason!). At the very beginning I was feeling spasms of pain but now I’ve just got a really sore throat so it hurts when I swallow and I feel run down. My sis and I went to see The Countess Luann from The Real Housewives of New York on the 3rd of June (which was AMAZING) and that’s where we reckon we caught it. Trust us to finally catch covid when we go to our first event together since the pandemic (I went to see Lyra with a friend a few months ago so this was my second concert). Anyway! I can’t wait until the covids gone and we can get out again! I just want to go to tkmaxx tbh 🤣.

If we were “having” coffee I’d ask if you’ve ever had the coronavirus? And if you have any hacks for helping it along the way?

If we were “having” coffee I’d mention that I’ve recently started a marketing course!! It’s from home and I’m really enjoying it so far. I’m surprising myself with how much information I’m able to take on board as the tablets I’m on make my mind feel kind of numb so this has been a real test and also a challenge but I’m up for it!

If we were “having” coffee I would ask you what the last thing you studied was? And did you enjoy it/find it useful with what you do now? Yes I’m nosy! 🤣

If we were “having” coffee I would of course update you on the kittens that I introduced you to in this post!! Well something huge happened yesterday, in the early hours of the morning (around 2am) Sim, the mummy, led the kittens towards a different part of the garden and we haven’t seen them since!! 😢 Sim herself is still around and we’re feeding her but after speaking to a lady who takes care of cats we were told that there must have been a reason for Sim to move her kittens such as a threat so she could keep them safe so we’re hoping they will come back but we know that wherever they are she’s done what’s right for them as she’s a good mum. In that post where I first showed you them I mentioned that we were trying to think of names, well they’ve got some now, they just need to come back to them 🤣. Theres Dusty (who has grey flecks), Bam Bam (who is the weakest but had an adorable little face), Tigger (who is the only one that’s not black, she’s got tiger patterns) and Princess (who it turns out is actually a boy but we’re sticking with the name! 😂).

If we were “having” coffee I’d ask you if you are a cat or a dog person or if you love both like me!? Also what pets do you have if you have any? We’d actually decided to keep the kittens before they went haywire so fingers crossed they come back! 🤞Then we’d have three dogs and six cats! 😬

If we were “having” coffee I’d ask what you’re watching lately? My sister and I are into Love Island and I was watching All of Us Are Dead on Neflix, I really want to get back into it! I’d watching before I went to sleep but recently I’ve been reading instead.

If we were “having” coffee I’d let it slip that even though in my last post I spoke of now being a one book kinda girl, I am reading two books as of late!! 🙈 A Million To One by Adiba Jaigirdar which is my night time read and is about a heist on the titanic and The Midnight Game by Cynthia Murphy, its a horror type book so I had to choose the other one to read before I slept instead of continuously freaking myself out 🤣 see! There’s a method to my madness 😉.

If we were “having” coffee I would ask you what you’re reading right now? And also how long is your tbr (to be read) list? Mine is a bit daunting but I’m in no rush to remove any 🤣. Another thing I can’t wait to do when covids our of my system is take a trip to the library 🙌😍

If we were “having” coffee, what would you ask me?

This was loads of fun to do again! I think it’ll have to come back as a proper series, what do you think?

I have to go now but I’ll be back again next Friday but until then, stay safe, take care and buh-bye! 🤗 (not that youd wanna hug me right now 🤣 we’ll have a virtual hug!) Adios!✨️💗xx

  1. I’m so sorry y’all have Covid. I got it for the first time 2 years after it was introduced. My doctor put me on 3 different cough meds because my cough was so bad and my throat was hurting and getting worse because of the cough. She also put me on vitamin c. Other than that I just slept a lot and cleaned everything I touched. At first I thought it was just allergies because it started with watery eyes and sneezing but once I started having chest pains I decided it was time to go to the doctor. It took about 2 weeks to start feeling better but the cough lingered for a whole month. I hope y’all have a speedy recovery.

    I hope the kitties come back. I love cats and dogs but right now we only have 1 dog.

    I don’t even know how many books are in my TBR at this point. On Goodreads it’s over 1000 but as for what I actually own there’s no telling.

    1. Thanks Misty 💗 3 different cough meds is a lot, you must have been really bad. I wish I could take vitamin c but the acidity sets of my reflux 😤. Really appreciate that lovely 💕. Thanks I really hope they come back too! Haha we are all book crazy! 🤣x

  2. I’m sorry to hear that you got covid 😦 I’ve had it twice, and it was no fun either time. The first time it wasn’t so bad for me, but the second time I was bedridden. I hope your symptoms are going away and you’re feeling better!

    Awww the kitties! I hope they come back so you can keep them!

    That’s awesome you’re taking a marketing course! The closest I’ve studied to marketing is probably public relations (PR), and it wasn’t really for me. We have a marketing team where I work (which most places do) and they’ve merged with my department so I’ve been asked to start training to proofread some of their stuff, as I’m a proofreader.

    My TBR is through the roof… I don’t even know what number anymore, but happy reading! 📚😊

    1. Thanks Meghan 💗. How long would u say it lasted for you the second time round? Yes!! Really missing the kittens, we think maybe we freaked sim out with how close we were to them but she’s still around herself so don’t fully know what the deal is. That’s so interesting!! I love learning new things. Haha thank you!! 📚x

      1. It was about a week; the majority of my real sickness where I felt the worst was maybe 3 days, then I started to feel better. I hope you’re feeling better now!

        Hopefully you’ll be back with her kittens, soon! 😊

      2. I’m feeling loads better now thank you and the kittens are back!! Sim led them back to us on Wednesday and we couldn’t be happier. We’re so relieved that they’re still alive 🙌

  3. Love this segment! And I don’t drink coffee, either. 😂
    I’ve tested positive for Covid twice already, and got fevers both times, which sucks! I hate isolating bc I get lonely pretty fast. I also missed a birthday party and an out of town trip! 😦 I hope you guys recover quickly and aren’t feeling too isolated! ❤
    So cool about the marketing course too! I’ve been thinking about going back to university to get a second degree, but I’m not sure when I’ll end up doing that.
