Immediate disclaimer, I have never salsa'd in my life! I am reminded again why I do this - pour my heart and soul out on a screen page available for all the world to see and cast judgement on. I am having a dance with myself and letting you the reader watch. We all have… Continue reading Step to the left, step to the right and salsa!
Deep breath
It feels like last week I was bitching that January was the longest month ever, and here we are in the last week of March. Did I blink wrong? Or was that breath a little too deep? The first quarter of the year is gone. I am not too sure what I managed to achieve… Continue reading Deep breath
It’s true
Somewhere (yes, I am lazy) I have written of the perils of menopause. I can genuinely confirm that yes, it's true. Menopause is a BITCH - and definitely all capitals! I have never been someone who sweats. I did that whole elegant thing and just got a sheen on my skin, but actual perspiration just… Continue reading It’s true
Elusive
Ha! The title is suggestive as all my words just went on strike! My weeks are generally full on. Work keeps me busy and with the longer commute, I am finding that by the time it gets to being at home, I am just done. Yet, amongst all the busy-ness, I am still getting major… Continue reading Elusive
Bits and bobs
It has been a strange couple of weeks. I have bounced between just wanting to die to extreme euphoria. My emotions, read hormones, have been so off centre that I have been unable to catch a breath. On top of this we have been attempting to expand our network. We are poly, for the new… Continue reading Bits and bobs
Misunderstanding
How easy is it to misunderstand someone's meanings and intentions? To flavour those interactions with your own anxiety and disappointment memories? We've had a few of those moments over the last week. Enough to cause, at least in my head, anguish. My heart hurts and my head runs through scenarios at a rate of knots.… Continue reading Misunderstanding
Empty nest
I have written about this before (and I am too lazy to go find it) but some days are harder than others. My kids are mid-twenties now. That old adage of enjoy them while you have them is most certainly true. Before you can blink they are out in the world finding their own way.… Continue reading Empty nest
Permission to be happy
I'm battling. Every day finds me in tears. Not the pretty kind either. Every thing is almost perfect. The move was relatively easy. We still have some stuff to unpack but most is done. The house looks good. Small things fit into place and my home looks good. I have space of my own. My… Continue reading Permission to be happy
31 days hath January
It's a lie! January is at least 100 days long!! I cannot believe that today is the last day of January. It feels like I have done at least 6 months work of living and work in these short weeks. I am well aware that from here the days and weeks will bleed into one… Continue reading 31 days hath January
2019 … with a BANG!!
The year is 23 days old and already I feel as though I have accomplished 6 months work. In 23 days, we have done a ~4,000km round trip to Brisbane via Dubbo and in reverse back to Melbourne, we are moving house ~40km further south and all the hilarity and panic that moving evokes, we… Continue reading 2019 … with a BANG!!
