I am nervous (read petrified) about tonight's pool session. I've never been, and all I know is that I will be swimming with shoes, socks, pants and a shirt on. I've heard there are relays. I'm p...


Really looking forward to going home this weekend. Looking forward to spending time with my siblings. Our Internet is up crappy creek yet again. I would love to write about L's 3rd birthday toda...


Most of the time, I enjoy my life. By "most of the time" I mean around 97 or 98% of the time. We are healthy, happy, free. We have no health issues or problems that inhibit or prohibit any dreams...


I survived the 9 days with the in-laws, yes!! There was one time when I needed to simply walk away from the breakfast table, without saying a word, and walking calmly to my bedroom, closing the ...


This visit has gone a lot better than other visits. I am managing my frustrations SO-HO-HO much better. Not only that, but some things that frustrated me and made my blood boil a few months ago, ...

Another New Chick in Days of My Destiny

In-laws are here at the moment. Enjoying that as much as I can. Making sure I don't fall into the resentful negative talk I usually fall into by day 3. It started this morning and was able to bre...

The Ugly Chickling in Days of My Destiny

Our hens have been laying on their eggs for about 3-4 weeks now and in the last 4 days or so, about 10 eggs have hatched. One little chick died, didn't make it. Most of them are black with soft, ...


Battle PT has been a great challenge lately. Last week and the week before, we had to do belly crawls. I had marks on my elbows the next day from where I was belly crawling. This week, I was the ...


The thing is, we TALK about this stuff. Yes, even the stuff that is not that comfortable to admit, we talk about. And I think that's what makes us an awesome couple. When I had suggested our week...

Stale in Days of My Destiny

Some afternoons, everything feels stupid. He gets home from work and it's just... irritating.... to watch us live this life of... routine and boring crap and how was your day. The first time I ...

Today in Days of My Destiny

Googling how to prepare a wall for painting. Isn't it ironic that my father and brother are both painters by trade, and yet here I am googling?! I actually called my brother the other day to ask ...


L has gone away for the weekend, seeing as he has been missing his mates. He organized a night out with his boys, for old time's sake. I heard from him about an hour ago and it's all turned to cr...

Lazy Day Rambles in Days of My Destiny

I have had THE. LAZIEST. day today. Of the 6 or 7 things I had to cross off my list, I've done HALF of one. I should be ashamed of myself but meh. I'm not. Battle PT tonight - L is coming! I ...


About three months ago, my friend Janet told me about a photography course that she wanted to go to. She knew I am a little bit into photography so she thought maybe we could go together. It woul...

Windy Night and H in Days of My Destiny

It was SO windy here last night. Fiercely windy. To the point where I was laying in bed, wondering how much more wind it would take to lift the house up out of the ground....... the trees were ju...


On Tuesday I had my Battle PT session. It was a fitness assessment night. I found out I can do 2 push-ups (the proper, on-your-toes, nose-almost-touches-the-ground kind) and 55 sit-ups in a row. ...

Dad's Calls in Days of My Destiny

I had a great chat with dad tonight. It's funny with him. He's the one who rings the most and checks up on me. Maybe every 3 to 4 weeks. I like that I have that from him, it helps make up for hi...

12/09/2013 in Days of My Destiny

Sometimes my fuse is so fucking short.


When I was at uni, I had a mate named Daryl. He was a healthy guy, he ran competitively and never said anything mean about anyone. One day, I was at uni with my closer friend Tracey, doing not mu...


This was typed 6 days ago. Just realised it was sitting there as a Draft. Oops! Oh and by the way, I ended up getting nothing. You'll know what I mean when you get to the end!) Tonight I felt di...


This was typed about a month ago, and I only just saw it was sitting there as a Draft. How does that even happen? Written in a book at the park this afternoon... This town. It does things to yo...

Study Frustration in Days of My Destiny

This whole study thing is just..... a saga. It's a simple course. It's one of those things that a few years ago, you did not need to do a course for, but now you do. So the booklets come in the ...


I can just see how she is growing up, and although I mention it in my writing, I never really delve in it, or explain it. Lately she's been trying really hard with her younger sister, to be ext...

Love Words, 2005 in Days of My Destiny

"My baby is so beautiful. When I wake up next to him in the morning, I just want to take such good care of him. I want our cuddly, waking moments to last forever, they're so precious. There's 16 ...
