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 …

Patience and Protection
Since Panda became ill the scope of our lives has become quite narrow. Panda is at the center of everything we do and so we spend most of our time at home. Yesterday we broke out of that pattern for a bit. In the morning Norm got up to let Navajo and Pixie out for …
Conspiracies and Spirits
This week's Old Fart Convo that I eavesdropped on at work was about Conspiracies and Spirits. First they said that 'All Americans believe in Conspiracies'. No, no we don't. Only some do. They touched on Flat Earthers and the people who are convinced the Moon Landing was faked. Then the conversation drifted over to the …
Hope and Comfort
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 …
Three Bad Things
I've always heard that bad things come in threes, but I am sure that I have exceeded that count recently. On Monday night I was notified that Jay, one of my dearest and oldest friends, had passed away. https://www.instagram.com/p/vH3jDKyLCn/?igshid=4v09twtymr5p Jay and I went to Junior School and High School together, Jay was in the class …
Strength of the Feminine
This week has been full of stress, trauma and drama. My smallest Pomeranian, Panda, has had an odd turn which has had the whole family so upset. Norm had meetings on Wednesday and when he got home he noticed that Panda's normally high pitched yap was a coarse gruff bark. https://instagram.com/p/BynVDbah80Q/ Norm took him to …
Fire and Rock
In a recent blog I mentioned the two old farts who sit near me at my current client who were reminiscing over 'the good old days' and now I am starting to be aware of all of their ridiculous conversations. It doesn't help that Old Fart #1 has a voice identical to Kermit the Frog. …
The Power of Change
I think that my husband has a very sexy voice and accent, but sometimes our attempts to communicate with me and my southern drawl and him and his Scottish accent results in some confusion. In my last blog I mentioned that we took a road trip out towards Paarl but I forgot to tell you …
A Smashing Start
I started a new project this week at UCT in their IT department. We are a team of 3 consultants but one of us is not really on board yet as our role informs hers so she arrives more towards the end of the timeline. It's a short term project so we have a lot …
Bats & Ninjas
We had the most amazing weather all of last weekend and it continued on throughout the week! It is as if it is suddenly summer. Of course with Cape Town the weather can flip quickly so we will see how long it lasts. Our office is freezing and I sit under a vent so I'm …
