Revelation
Windswept and rainy the night fell over the comfortable house. The children were snuggled under blankets, watching 101 Dalmatians. Memories from my youth The cats curled on the couch, sleeping lightly, content as only cats can be while the dog lay at our feet, mournful expression at the sight of popcorn. Clouds obscuring the daylight, […]

The Man Cold
I think it’s happened to me. I started the day off with mild congestion, a tickle in my throat, nothing really. It was enough to make me bail on exercise, but I justified it, saying I was spending time with my little dude. Then at work, I found myself clearing my throat, the scratchiness intensifying. […]

The day off
Glorious day! A full day off work, without any patients scheduled or any child duties to attend to. So naturally, I spent the day doing paperwork, meetings, and going through patients lists. By the time four pm rolled around I had a huge headache that the crisp taste of a passion fruit iced tea could […]

Golden Days
Putting the day to bed, I take it out to examine it, polish it up and make it shine. The morning sun warmed me during my early morning run while birds quarrelled and scowled at me, cawing their displeasure. Rabbits took off across my path, making me wonder what it would feel like to be […]

It’s the new me!
So last night as I tucked my little man into bed, my glasses felt funny. A little wobbly, but like they’d had too much to drink, or I’d put them on wrong. I went to adjust, confused. Then the leg fell off. I watched in horror as my glasses died in my hands, in shock […]

The cost
Nothing is uniform, Each person unique Weathering the storm, Playing hide and seek. We bend and break, We love and learn, Life isn’t a mistake, Whether it’s silly or stern So remember each day No matter the road you take The price that we pay Is worth the love that we make

Distant but not gone
The weekend has come and gone, and I am home, safe with those I love. Greeted by small running feet and fighting over who gets the first hug I am overwhelmed with love for the tiny terrors who flung small arms around each leg. “My tummy belly friend” from the oldest “mummy mummy mummy” from […]

Imaginary adults
Well as it turned out, I wasn’t 21. I had a lovely evening with delicious food and great conversation and got back to my super fun hostel around 10 pm, walking past a crowd of punk looking people standing outside a club called coalition… which was one door over from the hostel. My room was […]

Brassy and Bold
A whirlwind week with a fork in the road- the last instalment of my geriatrics course, the fifth weekend. I’m torn between equally strong emotions of happiness that it’s over and disappointment I didn’t do more while I was away. Each time I flew away, I couldn’t help but miss my babies in advance, causing […]

Gratitude journaling
It’s June 1st today, and I’ve somehow let another month slip through my fingers. I swear I just had it here a minute ago, and now it’s gone. June 1st. One of the Facebook groups I belong to has a wellness theme every month. Some months it’s physical, but the last few have been more […]
