Worked between two houses today, animals to sort out, then knocked off early to take my granddaughter to an eye appointment. Poor little thing also came home with a nasty graze on her knee after another child tripped her at school. One of those days where everything seems to pile on at once. The schoolContinue reading “Groundhog Day”

I’ve realised I missed another Sunday writing again. I honestly don’t even know what I’m thinking or doing lately. Life feels like one long blur of hospital visits, work, stress, and trying to hold everything together. My daughter has been in hospital for almost a month this time. I am trying to hold together twoContinue reading “Exhale”

Today started with a false alarm literally. I accidentally set the alarm for p.m. instead of a.m., so the whole household unintentionally ended up having a day off. In the end, maybe everyone needed it. Everybody’s sick, exhausted, and running on empty after a huge few weeks. Even with the slow start, I got aContinue reading “How to learn Patience”

Eight today. Happy Birthday to my youngest granddaughter. The day was packed full of little adventures, sushi train with her best friend, bowling, and riding her brand-new hoverboard with all the confidence in the world. Watching kids at that age is something special; fearless one minute, laughing uncontrollably the next. Then came a hospital visit,Continue reading “Eight Today ✨🎂❤️”

This week has felt heavy. The weather turned colder almost overnight, heaters dragged back out, coats back on, the house carrying that winter feeling again. One simple birthday wish from my granddaughter this year: for her mum to be home and well. Not toys or parties or big presents. Just that. A little girl wantingContinue reading “Bring on the Weekend vibes ✨”

Last night, around five o’clock, we said goodbye to little Fei Fei. She was seventeen, which is a long life for a small dog, and she lived it well. She was part of the everyday rhythm of the house, always there, always familiar, just quietly existing in the spaces that made up our days. MyContinue reading “A long Life ✨❤️”

Today feels like it’s moving in two different directions at once. The little dog is fading, then somehow not. She slows right down, barely moving, and you think this is it — and then she finds something from somewhere, a second wind, a small burst of life that lifts her again. It’s hard to watch,Continue reading “Tuesday”

It was a slow kind of weekend, the kind where you don’t rush, but somehow still don’t stop. Just doing what needed to be done, moving through it all without urgency, yet still feeling the quiet weight of it. The rain finally came after a stretch of unusually warm days. It softened everything. The air,Continue reading “Watching for the End”

Just the usual weekend things. Waiting, hoping my girl starts to get better. Five days in now, and yesterday she still wasn’t any better. I’ll head to the skate park, I promised my granddaughter I would take her yesterday and didn’t get there, so she wasn’t too happy. I’ll check both houses for the animals,Continue reading “The Weekend”

Friday slipped past me again. It was a good day though, slow, easy, nothing pushed. I stayed at home for the first time in ages. No rush, no pressure. Just pottering around, doing bits and pieces, letting the day stretch out instead of trying to fill it. Came back to my own space, my ownContinue reading “Friday”
