You Give Me Fever

Despite being back at work for a full week now, my life still does not feel fully back to normal. The flu Norm and I contracted en route to Scotland is still creeping around in our bodies so that could account for my feelings of disorientation, maybe it is feverish delirium. My first day back …

The Continuity of Spirit

This week has been a challenge to get through. Hearing people justify the sexually predatory behaviors from the president elect and then standing back and feigning shock or disgust when those exact same behaviors trickle down and are exhibited by the masses. You are normalizing these behaviors so don't be shocked when it becomes the …

Fairy Dust & Foxes

On Monday I arrived home to find my entire house coated in a thick layer of dust. Every bit of it. Even my bedroom upstairs. I think I may have brought it on myself. Look at me asking the fairies for dust in my last blog. Fairies have a naughty sense of humour.  Norm had …

Patience for the Patient

I worked last week's public holiday so that this weekend I had a 4 day weekend but it has been far from relaxing. I woke on Monday to messages from my mom's friend's daughter that my Mom's car had been hit by a girl who ran a red light.   Mom has very bad osteoporosis …

Lipo for the Soul

After 4 lovely days off I was back at work on Tuesday to over 100 emails, 6 documents to review and issues on two of my projects. No chance of easing in gently to my 4 day work week. So that evening I only got home at 7pm, exactly 12 hours after I had left …

The Devil’s In The Details

It was lovely to have Norm there when I woke last Sunday after being away. We had a slow morning as Norm was still tired from the flight. We finally headed out for lunch at noon. We decided for a change to try Deli Delish in Hout Bay. We used to go there often but it's changed …

My Missing Half

This week was my second week with Norm away. He spent a week in Switzerland on a consulting contract and the second in the UK on personal business. I missed him terribly. The girls were brilliant support and we had someone to walk Navajo every day. But I still missed my other half. But we …

The Contented Christmas Kitten

I'm still not sure if my attitude changed or what happened, but this was the calmest, most easy going Christmas I have ever hosted. It was also one of my best, I was so well prepared and I'm the sort who stresses about things being out of control, so maybe that was what lay as …

Arnold & Ruby

We had such a productive day. Mzudomo arrived bright and early and while he was busy in the garden with great assistance from the Pomeranians, we set off to Hout Bay to hit the shops. I'm just so fed up with takeaways so we vowed to be more organized and do a weekly shop. Before we did …

I Believe I Can Fly

Obviously I can't fly but that is the song that pops into my head when I hear the words 'I Believe'. I'm one of those people who have a song track to their life. I launch randomly into song constantly. And annoyingly I'm sure.  Whatever.  This week someone started quoting verses of the bible to me …
