Twist of Fate

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 …

The Power

Even the dreadful news we were given last Friday afternoon that I may be forced to go into the office four days a week could not ruin last weekend, it was really lovely. The wind was howling last Saturday but it was a stunning clear day. https://www.instagram.com/p/CsLhs5sKDtH/ Norm and I popped over to Mr Price …

The Perfect Balance

Last week's long weekend was just perfect. It had a balance of family, friends and alone time to recharge. I had Caitlin over here on Sunday and we viewed a lot of her photos from her and Wes' honeymoon in Italy on our big screen telly. It was just so beautiful and they are so …

Butterfly Mode

I recently mentioned that Norm and I are tentatively starting to entertain again. That decision seemed to open up the doors of the universe as we are now getting so many plans our diary is back to back. That is too much of an extreme for me as I also need downtime to recharge but …

Release

The lockdown and isolation of the last year and a half has been so hard on many of us for a variety of reasons. My anxiety resulted in such feelings of doom that I was convinced that this was the end of life as we knew it and that feeling has proven to be true …

Event Full.

This week has been eventful, some of them good and some of them bad. At midnight on Wednesday the corrupt former president of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, turned himself into the police after weeks of nonsense. Last week, the Constitutional Court found Zuma guilty of contempt of court, in relation to an order to appear …

Leaving it Alone

All of my Facebook memories coming up from this time of year are of Norm and I with my Mom so it is a bit odd to be celebrating the holidays at home on our own. It was lovely having Lily here for a few days and Caitlin here for a few hours last weekend. …

The Empath’s Output

I finished watching Soundtrack this week. I give it 4.5 Kitten Stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ One thing that the main character said which resonated with me was that all songs are about love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bRqe7eBqmw&t=79s The search for it, finding it, losing it, recovering from it, living with it or without it, keeping it alive when we are …
