I haven’t been up to much. I was going to blog about my Christmas Staycation. But I didn’t. Some things happened. Gutting things. Some good things happened. I had a funny day out on Christmas Day at the beach on my own which ended up in a beach tent collapsing on me. I wish I […]

The Three Main Types Of Apologies (And What You’re Really Saying)
The other week, I was having a discussion with a friend about apologies. More specifically, “apologies”. Aka fake ones. Aka “sorry YOU were offended” types. I said that I would rather people didn’t fake being sorry as that is more … painful, patronising… you choose the adjective that suits! The Three Main Types Of […]
Disillusionment Can Be A Good Thing
Granted I’ve had some tiring weeks of personal stuff recently, but even without that, I had been looking for a word to describe how I felt. And I finally came across it last week. Disillusionment.

Appreciation
As a somewhat sarcastic person, I find things like appreciation or gratitude hard to write about. It doesn’t mean I don’t feel them, but I don’t feel entrely comfortable expressing them the way others bloggers may do. Appreciation Doctors I very much appreciate that my doctor took the time to really talk […]

I like this weeks prompt for I Must Confess. And it’s a simple one, too. The Best Advice For Life The best advice I was ever given was from my grade 11 & 12 legal studies teacher. I don’t know why we were on the topic, but one day my teacher said that […]
I Am An Introverted Extrovert
