I feel like I’m seeing a light at the end of the tunnel finally. And not the “headlight of the oncoming train” kind! I have been desperate for a light for months now – and I think it’s coming! Keep your fingers crossed for me: if I get my estimated tax return (which I always […]

Long Haul Flights
I’ve posted some tips on long-haul travel before on my travel blog, but seeing as many people sound like they’re off to New York for Blog Her soon, I thought I would post them here. Disclaimer: as you probably know, I haven’t been able to afford travel in a few years. But none of […]
Work is Like an Abusive Marriage.
It’s no secret that right now I strongly dislike my job. I currently work for a large company (I won’t say who – but if you live in Australia you would have heard of them) and my position is split between three of their departments. Firstly – split positions don’t work. Before I started, […]
Saturday in my life
7-8am: Wake up, decide to go to some garage sales. 8-9am: Continue garage sales. See pretty red chaise lounge in an op shop for $800. Am sad that it is $800. Buy soft fresh bread & take it home cook bacon & eggs. 9-10 am: Eat bacon & eggs. Rest. Drive to bunnings. 10-11: Stop […]
Practical health
I wish medicine had the answers for practical questions. But I think when it doesn’t have answers it means society is broken in that area & is not working for our bodies. I commute to a day job for now. It’s not what I like – either the commuting or the job! But I’m working […]
Bra-ducation
Yesterday afternoon I went to my friends house for an Intimo party. If you haven’t heard of Intimo, it’s basically Tupperware for bras (& great clothing). It is a party plan company, but it’s nothing like Tupperware in that pressurised sales attitude – every Intimo consultant I’ve met will respect your “no thank you” the […]
Don’t sweat the little things
Little things are what makes up life. Parents will talk of the first time their baby stopped crying when they picked them up, becasue the baby recognised them and was comforted by that. It’s not something that a new station would report on, but it’s a moment in life that means a lot, espeically […]
Shift Work
I never knew what shift work did to your health until I met my husband. For the first few years we were together, it didn’t make much difference to me. He was working overnight shifts so basically he just wasn’t home when I was asleep. Sometimes it meant he was too tired to go […]
Unforgettable moments
We all have unforgettable moments in our lives. Some are based on a place or time, others might be meeting someone who has inspired you. One that sticks in my mind is the first time I went to the top deck of the Eiffel Tower. I was 19 and on a Contiki tour of […]
Procrastination
How do you write a blog post about procrastination? How do you write it from experience? If I publish this post, can I really say that I’m talking about procrastination from an experience point of view? And the real question is, am I asking too many questions? Tell me what the […]
