That feeling in the moment of an interaction that is like , “this is a real-time lesson for you. Pay attention.” ? Well, I had that the other day. Friday, speaking to a friend, she said somethi...

At this hour, I know that I should be working, but I can't seem to get motivated.  I didn't sleep well last night.  I didn't.  I knew that I wouldn't.  I'm fully awake at the moment, but I'm...

So, what you’re telling me is, Ben & Jerry didn’t do a DUNE tie-in dessert treat called FRANK SHERBERT? Really? If they’d only asked. I didn’t tell them because I figured it was too obvi...

Is Mercury retrograde or something? This has been the weirdest week. No, I guess not for another couple of weeks. Maybe I am getting a preview of coming attractions? Missed connections, irri...

#mindfulness It's been an exhausting week. The usual routine of working, looking after and being companion to my Dad. Whilst also getting him settled in the new contracted carers routine, wo...

I’m so over shitty people and life. That sums up my week basically. Monday night I was pretty happy and everything was going smoothly. By last night I was ready to just run away, change my name,...
