Mild mental illnesses that are indefinite in form, yet still maintaining some semblance of reality.
I am thankful for the flexibility my life currently has. I am able to work from home, date others, explore my passions, work in an office, travel and do all those little things often taken for granted. My current view is my backyard (what there is of it), a cloudy sky and some bushes. There… Continue reading Flexibility
"We need to talk about Kevin" by Lionel Shriver is one of the most confronting books I have read in a long time. I stumbled across this courtesy of my daughter and I read it in one sitting. Gripping stuff. I am not going to wax lyrical about how easy it is for mass shootings… Continue reading Being “Mom/Mum/Mother”
Quick note, I am working on a post a day. So please be patient with me 🙂 As you are all aware, R and I are poly. Now many people do not understand this, and generally take it down to the common denominator which is that we have an open relationship. This is true with… Continue reading Being at peace
A long, long, long time ago, a young woman loved to read books. So much so that every Friday on the way home from school she would pick up 10-12 books (tomes to everyone else) and deliver them safely on a Monday on the way back.

The temperature ranges from "hell is cooler than this" to "I wonder if… Continue reading It is the little things

I have decided that to keep myself blogging, and to make some sense, my weekdays need to have monikers. All of these are placed below. I will not dictate what each will look like - they could be a picture or an essay or just a line or two. This is my way of bringing… Continue reading Topical names
I suck at this consistency thing, which admittedly is weird considering I work in finance and HR, both of which require consistency rather important. I don't do resolutions as a rule, and this year I thought, what the hell, let's dream up some. I can tell you that I broke it on Day 1, 2… Continue reading Day 3

I am so done with 2019, I wish tomorrow was a new year! 🙂 A very poor attempt at humour. It has been a hard year, so many challenges that as I reflect I wonder how I got through it all. But I did, well we did. We're still here, still going, no matter how… Continue reading Bring on 2020
