Unfortunately I have the memory of a gold fish. I forget things often and it has sometimes served me well and other times not so well. Today was one of those gold fish moments. A guy I work with wants to get healthy and somehow thought I would be a good partner to diet with at work, last week he asked me to do a … Continue reading The memory of a gold fish

So although in my recent post I was talking about how I am enthralled with the book I am currently reading, I am now stuck on reading the said book. I swear my mind is like a rebellious teenager sometimes. Tonight I think I am going to head to bed early with said book and try to make things work. I want to finish the … Continue reading Readers Block

After days of heat and smoke haze today is pretty cold. The smoke is still hanging around and turning the skies grey but it is so refreshing to have a day that is not almost unbearable. I hope this weather is helping the people who are working tirelessly to fight fires around the country. I usually love the warmer weather the most, but not having … Continue reading A strange coolness

They say we can learn so much from kids… Having a 1 year old nephew is a great example of that. Not knowing how to say one word in particular, he will shake his head if I say “Aunty says no” and we play this game where I say “Aunty sleep” and he will grab my face to wake me up and giggle when I … Continue reading The science of play (an internet rabbit hole)

Goal One – Learn Something I’m not sure what I want to learn as party of goal one but I am keen to learn something… It … Continue reading Goals for 2020

Tonight we decided to watch “Don’t F**k with cats”, the story about a group of people on the internet who decide to start tracking a person who is uploading videos on the internet of himself harming cats, who later becomes a murderer. Following the groups … Continue reading True Crime

Today I had lunch with a friend who is newly single. It’s strange that we are friends because although most people I work with would probably describe me as outgoing and extroverted, I am actually pretty introverted and a bit of a homebody outside of work. On the flip side, he is often referred to lovingly by mutual friends as someone who is intense, loud … Continue reading The Recluse

I have always grown up around animals… My first pet was a beautiful ex race horse that my parents saved from the slaughterhouse, we named her Annie. She was beautiful, strong and tall. Annie loves women but hated men. I assume this was because of what she had been through in her life. I was a four year old who would ride her bare back … Continue reading How to get two dogs in four days

“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” – Thornton Wilder Sometimes I look at my blog posts and think I should be more positive. Actually it’s not even my blog posts… Who am I kidding! I think I should be more positive sometimes. Apparently gratitude is the way things go… So here’s what … Continue reading Gratitude
