This week I have: A two-day quality and safety compliance audit at work that I am wholly and solely responsible for making sure we pass and will be the end of us if we don’t. 4 (yes, FOUR) university assignments due between tonight and Friday, totalling 7500 words. I’ve been super stressed about this and…
That’s right. I have it all. I am a selfish woman, a bad mother and a terrible wife – all because I want my delicious cake to eat. I get tired of being asked how I find time to work, study and be a mother and wife, as if all these things were mutually exclusive.…
Today marks the first day of a very stressful year. As of today, until I’m notified otherwise by my uni in Adelaide telling me they’ve screwed up again, I am now working full time and studying two separate degrees at two different universities. It is time to get Sheldon Cooper style organised. Yes, I…
I’m not a huge romantic by any stretch of the imagination. I find gushy romantic overtures embarrassing, particularly if they are made in public. Luckily for me, my husband is as romantic as a dead fish so I don’t have to worry about making the stomachs of everyone around me churn and lose their lunches.…
*This is very long and personal post about my daughter’s birth. But I’m sick to death of only hearing the ‘good’ stories while mine goes untold* February 1st is my daughter’s second birthday. A milestone that five or six years ago seemed completely impossible, yet it’s not a milestone I’m not yet able to embrace…
The bumbling female mystery series. We all know of them. We’ve probably read a few. What makes them so popular? For me, reading is about escapism and fantasy, as I am sure it is for most people. I also have that little personal issue about being constantly suspicious and believing that everyone is up…
Cyclone season is well and truly upon us here in the far northern bits of Australia. Looking outside my window at work, the trees across the road are being bowed by the wind, the tarp that I assume was supposed to protect some anal retentive person’s car from the rain has blown off and is…
This page will be undergoing a couple of them. I’m shredding my veil of anonymity, so I’ll have a shiny new blog name and domain pretty soon. I’ve been accepted into an Associate Degree of Writing. It’s probably not something I actually need to do, but as much as I complain about it, I do…
I have learned, since necessity (not mine) compelled me to work on the front desk at work, that scammers are well and truly alive and well. The way they target small business is almost (almost) to be admired in the way they tell half truths and manipulate facts to make it seem they are a…
I’m going on a relatively long flight next week (hooray! My first real holiday to a destination with no pre-arranged/mandatory activities) and I’m searching for some reading material. My laptop is a bit on the crappy side and it certainly won’t last the 6 hour flight to get any writing done. The battery barely lasts…
