Is the 8 hour work day. I know what the timesheet says ... but it isn't true.
Today’s fairy tale…

Mild mental illnesses that lack definite form yet still able to maintain some semblance of reality. That's life in a nutshell.
Exploring my voice, through writing and images.
Academia, work and random thoughts
I am studying <big pause> again. I am sure I have mentioned this somewhere before. So my biggest issue with academia is the amount of waffling required for a simple assignment. University: Describe your company, define X role, define the legislative risk / gap / priority and create a business case Me: So you want… Continue reading Academia, work and random thoughts
Definite sign I am heading for 50
I don't mind being in my 40s. This decade has gotten rid of some of my angst and desire to please. I am becoming more vocal on what makes me happy and fuck the rest. But today I realise that I am well on my way to being 50. That promised decade where you seriously… Continue reading Definite sign I am heading for 50
Watching the world implode
I am ignoring the fiasco that is playing out on my social media... there is only so much election frenzy I can handle and America you have delivered and continue to do so. Please slow down and let things unfold as they should. I try not be political, but seriously you cannot want him back… Continue reading Watching the world implode
Pointless Halloween
A completely pointless Halloween quiz ... can be found here courtesy of Brian 😉 1. What are your thoughts on green pea soup? It's soup and better than bread and butter most days. 2. Would you rather be Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy or Sarah Jessica Parker? Kathy Najimy 3. Do you carve pumpkins or do you consider it… Continue reading Pointless Halloween
Which one
I wonder which affects us more - when we realise we are a disappointment to our kids or a disappointment to our parents ? I am a young mother - Son arrived when I was the very mature age of 19, and Daughter followed by the ancient age of 23. So now when they are… Continue reading Which one
The Lovers
This is not my usual fare, but has been running around my head a lot - and by that I mean I can't stop the dream, so better to give it a voice. By far not perfect and I will revisit over the coming weeks. It is a little NSFW 😉 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Open your eyes.… Continue reading The Lovers
Monday thoughts
It is one of those days where I have caught up on backlog and I am coasting a little before the next round of activity hits. These are the days where I end up questioning every single decision, thought and word that comes out of me (or at least out of my general direction). Work… Continue reading Monday thoughts
Moments
It is still lockdown in Melbourne, still stuck within 5km of home, and the weather has gone from warm and sunny to crap. But I have magic moments. Like yesterday when the dogs decided to rest on me as I stretched on the couch. Or this morning when they crawled over R to get to… Continue reading Moments
Embroidery and nerves
"Piles of red and green", Morana sighed. "Just piles of red and green, what is a woman to do?" The tablecloth was overdue and Himself was complaining of the lack of something crafted by her hand in the dining room. Not that Himself would ever deign to attempt such a feat himself. Hadn't he just… Continue reading Embroidery and nerves
