Masochism

The weather last weekend was hot but the heat was tempered by the insane winds we were having. The wind howled all day Saturday and Sunday. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UqatqfLkgOc I did not mind as I was having a do nothing weekend. I watched several movies and series. I ate popcorn. I spaced out and it was just …

A Cage of My Own Design

I had a surreal experience this week. Last Sunday was Father's Day and I posted a tribute to my Dad who died before my children were born. I sat thinking about him a lot over Sunday and Monday, wishing that I had videos of him to show my kids and grandkids and sad that I …

Your Highest Self

This week our internet died and I had 2 meetings booked to present the document I have put together so far for my client. I managed to bungle through the first one without being able to hear anyone, but the second was with senior management and the internet died completely and tossed me out of …

My daughter Lily and granddaughter Amelia drove down from George on Thursday afternoon week before last. It was a 6 hour journey with Lily having to amuse Amelia and drive but they managed it. Lily was carting a truck full of things. She had loads of clothes to pass on to Caitlin that Amelia has …

The Peace of Acceptance & the Ease of Ignorance

I was recently thinking about when I was young and carefree. I was about as deep as a puddle despite being educated, I was only educated in Science related things, not anything to do with EQ or street savvy. I only developed empathy once I had children, this may be part of being Neurodiverse but …

The Net Will Appear

Ginger and Spice and Everything Nice

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 …

Keep Moving

As much as I love being back in my own home, I really miss waking up to little Millie's gorgeous smile. It is impossible to be sad or unhappy with that little bundle grinning her cheeky toothless smile. She has this way of staring straight into your eyes with such intensity, it feels like she …

Seeing Yourself Amplified

As much as I loved being down in the Garden Route with my SIL, daughter and granddaughter for a month, it is a long time to be away from my home, my pets and my husband. I cannot remember when Norm and I were apart this long. Norm flew down on Monday and then we …
