Spent time with the kids today, which was easily the best part of the day. My daughter is still very unwell, and I’m still trying to understand what the right path forward looks like. At the moment it’s really just about taking things as they come, dealing with what’s in front of us without tryingContinue reading “Learn to be More Patient kind of Day”

Windy, windy day. Worked from home trying to tie up loose ends, still submitting evidence to VCAT. Had some moissanite earrings delivered because they were about 1% of the cost of synthetic diamonds. Nothing over the top, just pretty and affordable. Also bought tickets recently in one of those house competitions, two houses raffled, chooseContinue reading “Realistic Goals”

Today was one of those strange days where you try hard to look normal on the outside, even when life underneath feels anything but normal. I went into the office, for the first time in months, put makeup on, dressed properly, acted like myself. Sometimes presentation becomes armour. Parking around the building is ridiculous, soContinue reading “Hidden Hazards”

Work from home today. It was a rainy, cold day, one of those grey ones where everything feels a bit slower than usual. I spent part of the day ringing around to get quotes for the roof, it’s a priority before winter. It’s the Strawberry Moon tonight. They say it is a time of newContinue reading “Strawberry Moon and Apple Crumble”

Sitting in a play centre with my granddaughter while she celebrates her little friend’s birthday. Sunny, easy Sunday energy. School runners are on the agenda later today, another one of those ordinary little jobs that somehow takes half the day. Everything feels slower today in a good way. My daughter has had music playing mostContinue reading “Easy Sunny Sunday ✨”

9.00pm scary movie with one of my grandsons. Today felt productive in a quiet sort of way. Washed the car, vacuumed the house, mowed the lawn, and went to Officeworks to print out all the documents for VCAT. One of those days where you spend most of the time just trying to keep life movingContinue reading “Movies”

The last two days have felt almost too easy compared to the last seven weeks. Just getting up, working, knocking of a bit early to pick up glasses for my granddaughter and having dinner with the kids. The house is still in a bit of disarray, so the weekend will be dedicated to cleaning, resetting,Continue reading “Hoping for the Best”

First day in a while not starting work at 7am doing the school transport run, so it felt like an easier day. Reconciliation Week activities today, and I sat in on a really inspiring speaker session and started a new inclusion and diversity program, which I really enjoyed. Had dinner sitting with the kids, spentContinue reading “Positive Energy Vibes ✨🙏🏻❤️”

Today my daughter and grandchildren went back home to their place. She is still very unwell and trying her very best. I live not far away and the kids know they can call me if something doesn’t feel right. I’ll still go over after work and help where I can, make sure things are okay.Continue reading “A Weird Space”

Today was one of those nonstop days where every hour belonged to someone or something else. Hours spent trying to complete VCAT paperwork and requirements, school runs back and forward, sitting with my girl, cooking dinner, trying to keep the house moving, talking with a friend just to have a moment of connection in amongstContinue reading “Showing up”
