Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
It is hard to believe that it is already almost September and therefore almost my birthday! I am turning 65 on the 3rd of September, so I will officially be a pensioner. I made several suggestions of things I desire and Norm says it sounds more like a Scavenger hunt than a birthday list. A …
You may think that my Psoas is getting a lot of airtime lately and you would be right. It is quite literally my entire focus at the moment. I have read that some schools of thought are that the psoas is not a muscle at all, but rather an organ. Every day I log on …
Norm and I were sitting outside last weekend in the evening and we were having one of our 'one of us is autistic' conversations. I often wonder what my neighbours must think if they hear the things we discuss. Lisa: I have been watching the snails. Norm: what? where? what snails? Lisa: There on the …
These last few weeks really made me conscious of the passing of time, something that is often skewed by my neurodiversity and time blindness. It also made me incredibly proud of the life and family I have built. July 5th was mine and Norman's 29th wedding anniversary. We were wed in the beautiful registry office …
Last Friday was my Mom's birthday so we rang her and had a long chat and she sent a picture of the adorable solar light we had sent her. You see I came by my rabbit addiction quite naturally. Her friends had taken her out for lunch and my uncle had taken her out during …
Caitlin and Bree came around last Sunday to celebrate Father's Day with Norman. He is so humble and he hates any sort of attention but a low key pizza and chat is his style. I miss my own Father, who I actually did call Daddy as many southern girls do. He has been gone for …
On Tuesday night I was howling in the middle of the night. I have had sleep paralysis issues for decades. What happens varies slightly from one episode to another but basically I am unable to move and I am terrified. What is causing the terror has a few different manifestations, one is a haggard old …
The weather has led to a lot of people being sick at the moment so I tried to get a flu shot but there are none available. Chichi came to work on Monday and as soon as she spoke I could hear the congestion. Norm popped on a face mask and drove her home. It …
I had a message from my Maternal Grandmother this week. That might be normal for many of you but mine passed away over 20 years ago. I had seen the most amazing pictures of a garden with a variety of beautiful, unusually coloured irises and it made me think of my Grandmother who loved irises. …
Even though I know that the neurodiverse are more prone to accidents, I still am amazed at the level of chaos that befalls me just going about my day. Last Sunday Norm and I had to go to the mall. We had been going to do our mall errands on the same day as we …
