Life is such a Drag

I have had such a busy week at work full of all day review meetings and analysis and documentation. I love both of the latter but am not too fond of the meetings aspect. I read so fast I have consumed the info on the screen and interrupted the presenter to give them my answer …

A Hundred Acres

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 …

Word of the Week

I often do a 'music video of the week' or a 'film/series of the week' recommendation in my posts, but I think I might need to add a 'Word of the Week' section because I am getting so many comments by people who identify with my latest explorations into various aspects of Neurodiversity. This week's …

Showing up Authentically

This week I have learned some new terminology for some of the same old 'quirks'. I keep discovering that the weird little behaviours I have always done are either stims, or characteristics of either Autism or ADHD. For example, constantly singing is a ND trait. I sing continuously either in my head or out loud. …

Desperately Seeking Something

There are so many trite sayings about how wonderful it is to spend time with your grown up children but they are all true. Even doing nothing is fine if I am doing nothing with my kids. When I see them happy and doing well at life it especially makes me feel pleased. My daughter …

Hurray for Hollywood

On Saturday Norm and I attended the matinee production of 'Hollywood'. I love the venue Theatre on the Bay and often just book tickets on a whim which is what I did with this show. I knew nothing about the show and when we arrived we were baffled by the fact that there were young …

Manifesting a Man

I had two pretty fabulous things happen this week. First of all, if you read last week's post you will have seen that I wrote about trying to manifest a male house sitter? I got him! A friend told me about his son who is a single adult and a home body so the house …

Keen, Mean and Full of Caffeine

I spent all of last Sunday doing my favourite things: bird watching and faffing about my garden. I took wild iris seed pods from the pool area and crumbled the pods and scattered the seeds in another area that is very shady and full of tree roots, so not much grows there. Let's see what …

The Comfort of Others

I mentioned last week that I have decided to just completely go with the flow and be open to what the universe brings me. Since then I have realised that one of the ways I help people is just by talking to them. I have so many people message me and tell me so many …

Outta Oxytocin

We have continued our new date night tradition. Norm and I decided to go out for dinner last Sunday as we had been home all weekend due to the Two Oceans Marathon and we felt a wee bit of cabin fever. The wind was crazy all weekend which also creates it's own form of chaos! …
