Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
We had beautiful weather last weekend and it continued throughout the week. South African winters are the best, we usually have sunny bright days and cool evenings. The mornings are often misty or cloudy but it usually burns off leaving us with bright blue skies. Regardless of the weather, it is always beautiful. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDNy3FVp89j/ Lola …
I have five more days on my current project and then hopefully I don't ever have to work again with the developer I've had so many issues with. This week he allegedly developed 10 data rules but only half were valid. He could not even get his job to complete on Friday but felt no …
This has been such a stressful week at work. Usually when a Data Quality system is being developed a client will hire both myself and a developer to design and build the system and reports.

When you have an infant you get excited over their developmental progress even though you expect it to happen and you have a general timeline of when it should happen. When little Panda became paralyzed we had no idea if he would recover and if he did we had no idea of the timeline of …
This week crime has been predominant in the news. We read about three policemen being shot in Delft, one of the areas which has a high incidence of gang related violence. One of the policemen died and the other two were seriously injured. This happened despite the recent deployment of the SANDF (the army) to …
I suspect that I have suffered from anxiety for most of my life but I just did not have a name for it. When I moved from a tiny little town in rural Tennessee to Los Angeles in the 80's I was diagnosed with asthma because when I would drive on the motorways I …
After I posted my last blog about my friend Jay who passed away, my friend Chris messaged me to say he had also experienced the same light show I had written about! Chris was also at school with us and he said that Jay had sent him this image as a GIF: https://www.instagram.com/p/BzINXMeJV7i/ However IG …
