There is this prompt that does the rounds that tells you to blog using the alphabet as your guide. Each letter becomes a blog. I decided that as a challenge, this would be good to get me blogging every day. A = Attitude I had another word in mind when I started this, but as… Continue reading Alphabet blogging: A

Not wanted
How do you cope when you feel not wanted? Me, I completely stop functioning. Can't eat, sleep and that send my body into this weird pain filled place. It's not entirely a pity party. I just feel unwanted. There are friends who read this and will feel guilty or say that they have chatted to… Continue reading Not wanted
Sunday in the Park: Voting
I like a challenge and Brian, as only he can, set up Sunday in the Park. I could not refuse, even if it has taken a while to get around to actually writing ... but here we go, on our own epic Sunday (Saturday) stroll through the Park. A lone cow wandered into the clearing,… Continue reading Sunday in the Park: Voting
It’s not easy

I have good memories of this place, yet at the moment I can't dredge up one. Tassie is feeling wrong, and it's bleeding… Continue reading We keep learning

It’s always been official
Just that now it can be public knowledge. I never thought I would be writing this. So much has led up to this moment, and for every single mountain, molehill and bump in the road I am grateful. Every tear that was shed, every tear in my heart and soul led me to here and… Continue reading It’s always been official
A little time apart
So we are having a little break. Wait! wait! oh ffs! WAIT!! It's not like that at all. We are having a little break because the public transport system is screwy for the next 3 weeks and in order to ensure I stay healthy and stable, I am in the city while Mr is at… Continue reading A little time apart
