refresh rebrand overhaul
o0o Having sat with it for a while now, as mentioned in my Stocktake Oct20 post I have been wondering whether or not to continue on with this site.

-=- I’m again ripping the bandaid off and posting a simple stocktake of where I’m at right now. Its been a weird month, and one in which I’ve been doing some soul-searching about the direction that this particular site should take – and even whether or not
so f*kn PROUD
o0o I can’t even begin to tell you how proud of myself; happy and accomplished I feel today. (which is a very rare feeling for me, I gotta say!!!)
a lost post
o0o I have just recently come across a post that I obviously began somewhere in the first half of this year, but which for some reason I did not get around to finishing. I think that it may have morphed somewhat and become a post on another site, but I have decided that I shall include it […]
feeling flat?
o0o When you’re feeling a bit flat, one of the very best therapies is to get outside. If you can plant something and immerse your hands in the dirt, it makes the experience that much better for you!! There has been so much evidence around the massive improvements in mental health for those […]
mega update
o0o So here I am – officially over 3 months unemployed!! Its time for a bit more of an in-depth run-down of what Life has been like for me for the last three months – so I’m going to break it down into sections to help me arrange my thoughts a little better… You […]
huuuge changes
o0o Its six weeks since I last posted. Six weeks since the event that changed my dear friends Life forever – in ways that I can barely begin to imagine. Its also 6 weeks in which my Life has changed – because of the hideous heartbreak my friend has had to endure… Only an […]
negative headspace
o0o I feel so at odds of late. In the quiet times when I am by myself, and I am able to spend time being introspective – I can see that I am in a season of a very negative headspace – and have been unable to shift it… I teeter between feelings of […]
difficult talks
o0o It’s been a while since my last post (about 6 weeks or so), and I apologize if you’ve missed me – although it is the season for most people of busy-ness and stress – so it’s probably the case that you haven’t even noticed I haven’t been around…! :)) In days blog, I’m […]
southbound again
o0o SO…here I am once again sitting at the airport, waiting to get on a flight and I’m southbound again to go and help with tidying up yet more affairs of my deceased Mumma and her very-much-alive Hubby (TnT) – who is now in Aged Care. Its been a pretty stressful time for the […]
1st session
o0o Well the poor counsellor probably needed a bex and a lie-down after she had finished her first hour with me the other day! It was pretty much like shaking up a coke bottle then flipping off the lid. A whole damn lot of built-up stuff just came spewing forth filling up every spare space […]
i broke
o0o I broke. Plain and simple – i broke… This past fortnight – my mind just couldn’t keep itself together anymore, and i broke… I went to the Doctor back before we went to New Zealand, just for a general annual checkup; and when we were finishing up, I told him that there was […]
this week
o0o One of the things that give me ‘anticipatory’ anxiety, is Mondays – the day before I have to go back to my paid job. Whilst I am winding it down, and getting it to a place where I can hand it off to someone else; I need to stay in my current role […]
breathe
o0o Breathe. You’re going to be okay.
the blur
o0o Recently – I have felt myself spiraling in panic. This is not a ‘new’ sensation for me. When parts of my life are not running smoothly and for some reason,
lists aplenty
o0o Its only a matter of days now, before we leave on our much-needed vacation, so as you can imagine I am neck deep in planning and organising, which for me means the there are lists aplenty going on! Lists for whats already packed, lists for what still needs to be packed, list […]
making friends part 2
o0o So after talking about how difficult making friends is – and how bloody rubbish I am at it – a strange thing happened the week before last… I had two ‘coffee dates’!! One Friday – one the following Monday. The one on Friday was the second time I have had coffee with this […]
its gone…
o0o Its gone… After my post about dental distractions the other day – sadly the delight and belief didn’t pan out this time around – and whilst it initially seemed to be getting better, after a night of almost no sleep other than fitful dozing; and taking faaaaar too many doses of pain medication […]
making friends
o0o Friends – thats todays subject! Is it just me, or do others find it incredibly hard to make super-close friends? I have a lot of people that I know that I can go have a cuppa, a meal, a wine etc with, or that I chat to with some regularity, but usually on […]
i’m DONE!
Ready to cheer me on? I told you a week or two ago in the smoking gun post, that I was going to do it – and now here I am!! As of last night – I am a non-smoker. A former smoker, an ex-smoker – call it what you will. But as […]
