Hello my friends, How has your week been? I want to tell you that mine has been awful. I want to tell you that poor Mr C has really struggled with his spinal surgery, that things just have not been going right for him lately. I want to tell you how Master J has struggled…

Don’t judge the depressive person – be their seratonin buddy
A friend of mine and I were talking the other day. We were talking about depression. She hates that I can reach such deep lows. She hates that I can even have a dalliance with the idea of suicide. She sees the beauty in me as a person, the value in what I am and…
Introducing my entry to #Edenland – the International Lip Syncing Awards
Before I started blogging, I didn’t really follow blogs. I would read them, but not really follow them as such. When I started my blogging journey that changed. I now follow a number of blogs – That Summer Feeling, Zinc Moon, Rare Pear Studio, Make Plus Do to name a few. But one I follow…
An ode to the rainbow and the uniqueness of its colours
I’m going to struggle to find the words. I know I am. The words to describe the warmth I feel right now. The words to describe that despite still feeling dark in places, the light is beginning to find its way through. The words to describe what it feels like to find a group of…
HALT – you need to take care of yourself
When I became sober, one of the things I learned at AA was an acronym called HALT. It stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. These are the things that can be the death knoll for the recovering alcoholic. Those things that put our sobriety at risk. I have learned that the same applies to…
Pictures of me hang upon the wall for the world to see
“What is wrong with you? You are so grumpy!” Mr C’s words sting me. Mostly because they are true. I am grumpy. This is what I hate about depression. The emotional roller coaster. It sucks. For a couple of days I have been travelling really well. I have had hope. I have dared to…
How to organise your laundry
I don’t usually do how-to posts. I’m all about the emotion of living life, not necessarily organising it. There are far more better qualified people that talk about organising than I ever could. For one, I can’t be bothered with the relentless photo staging and taking. Who has time for that? However, you will…
And then there was light
You know how yesterday I was telling you about Darren Rowse and how he inspired me to at least think about dreaming again? Well, today I made a visit to Mr C. Today was an extended stay because Master J had started the first day of term 4 which meant I could just kick back…
How the founder of Problogger gave me inspiration to dream again
Do you know those moments you get where, right there in that moment, you are completely moved and you feel a shift within your soul? Where you are so mesmerised by what you are seeing, reading, hearing, you know it is a defining moment? Today was a pretty crappy day for me. As soon as…
Anxiety is a bitch
Mr C had to go for spinal surgery this morning. A laminectomy to be exact. His back started hurting him around 6 weeks ago. In typical male style he tried to ignore the excruciating sciatica for about a week before making an appointment to see an osteopath. The osteopath did not recommend Mr C…
