Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I have had a rather chaotic week. First, I was living like all the single ladies last Monday to Wednesday as Norm was away in Johannesburg. He had booked the doggy day care to take Finn all day so he was occupied all day and exhausted at night. I still had 4 beasties which I …
This week the weather has again been a bit of a see-saw. Today we woke to a lovely gentle rain but we have also had some incredibly hot days. Last Sunday and Monday it was crazy hot. I had been booked for drumming last Sunday but I just felt exhausted. I wanted nothing other than …
On Monday I had a session with my Neurodiversity Therapist. We talked a lot about how our 'quirks' are interpreted as other things and often not identified as symptoms of neuro-diversity. Afterwards I was thinking about how one of my primary stims is twirling my hair. My hair is very thin in one patch from …
You know when you were a kid and you were on holiday and you had that 'summer feeling' where your skin felt salty and tight from chlorine or sea water? Sitting with damp swimsuits on the chair cushions and knowing you will regret it later after you have changed and you get your new clothes …

Everyone knows what animal lovers we are and how much we adore our dogs. These days I mostly post about Finn as he is the most rambunctious and amusing but Pixie and Panda, our geriatric Pomeranians, are both so old and cost a bomb in medications but we adore them none the less. Pixie was …
Norm and I were treated to the most amazing dinner cooked by our son in law Wes. Caitlin and Wes had been wanting to thank us for the dinner at The Pier that they ended up going to solo as I was ill and Norm was away. I had already paid the deposit so that …
Sometimes my weekends end up being so tiring even if I do nothing. This last weekend was so busy and therefore my tiredness was justified. This week has been full of dramas and disasters which has not really helped perk me up. Last Saturday we had our final Soul Circle for the year. It was …
This week in my session with my therapist she told me a little story to help me understand and be able to explain to others if one of my irrational reactions occur. I had told her about an incident when Norm had mistakenly hurt me when we were moving the new TV and when I …
