    Love Matters

    I am in the throes of emotional fatigue. The onslaught of horrific news, work stress, and some other triggers are just piling up and, try as I might, I can’t seem to do much but keep my head just above water from it all. Outside of the news bombarding everyone, I know that eventually things…

    6 weeks post op!

    Tomorrow is 6 weeks post hysterectomy!! With the exception of heavier than normal lifting (no full washing baskets etc!) I am pretty much doing exactly what I could before my op with no pain and loving every minute of it. Tomorrow I also go back to work. I had a lot of holiday to take…

There are so many “standards” that we are taught by society which do no good. As a society we should act, look, and do things a…

  • Another You (or rather, Another Me)

    I have had the best weekend in a very long time and it’s only Saturday. I arrived home today around 6pm after my adventures away last night and Hubby kept commenting on how social I’ve become and how I’d never have done these things 5 or 10 years ago. I corrected him and said not…
