Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I usually do not really suffer with jet-lag but this trip it has really hit me hard. Possibly it is because I started a new contract the day after we returned home? I have had to nap or at least rest a bit each afternoon as I have not been sleeping well at night, I …
I find that the nearer we get to the end of the year, the faster things seem to roll past us. Even the weather is not feeling like December. Normally at this time of year it is very hot with very little rain but we have had all sorts of nonsense. Last Sunday we had …
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 …
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 …
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 …

This week has felt very heavy emotionally. The news is full of flooding in multiple areas of the globe, raging fires, droughts both in South Africa as well as a lot of the rest of the world and of course there are still people dying from the pandemic. It gets hard to deal with and …
In typical Cape Town fashion the weather turned last Sunday and the sun made an appearance after days of rain and wind. We took advantage of this and Norm set up a workstation for me by the new succulent garden. https://www.instagram.com/p/CO7151XJ_n5/ We planted the large planter the kids gave me for Mother's day. https://www.instagram.com/p/CO71bZUp_uh/ As …
Norman often tells me I am being paranoid and that I am imagining machinations where none exist. However most of the time I am proven to be right. (Aren't wives always right even when we aren't?) When the US capitol was attacked I said that day from the very beginning that it was coordinated and …
Last weekend was as full of highs and lows as a bipolar disorder riding a roller coaster. Even though I was prepared for the possibility that the majority of the Republicans would not have the balls to do what was right and vote to convict Trump, I was still devastated when the votes were in …
