State of Affairs
It could easily become misery city around here these days. For months, my sister has been taking good care of me and coping very well in unfamiliar circumstances. Unfortunately, all of this has taken its toll, and in some respects, she is now almost in a similar situation as me. We are doing most things…

Living Deliberately?
I have literally had dozens of jobs, but none were a perfect fit. Some came close, and I remember being quite successful with some of them. Painter and decorator, upholsterer, dressmaker, craft shop owner. Wedding dress designer, and many office and retail jobs. I have worked behind the counter in the post office, and the…

Silent Sunday…
Last week was an inglorious mix of happy and sad, anger and joy. I wonder what this coming week has in store for us. Like this beautiful cat, I don’t really want to know what happens next, but can’t stop myself from having a peek! Enjoy the rest of the weekend, folks. I know I…

What have I been up to?
Considering I am nowhere near as strong as I was, I have been rather busy of late. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love to be busy, but constructively, if possible. Well, that hasn’t been possible, even with the best will in the world. And I like to think my will is as good as…

Macro Monday…
I have spent the last few days trying to organise my mess of an office… Since being incapacitated, and that’s one way of describing it, I have been doing my best.

These past months, I have been concentrating really hard on what I thought was the job in hand—getting stronger and finding myself again. Just lately, though, less positive thoughts have been creeping into my head. I do my level best to dismiss these thoughts, considering them detrimental to my recovery. All things considered, I am…

The Trouble with Progress…

The Trouble with Progress… … is that it usually tries to be too clever, too destructive. Maybe this is some test, or a defence mechanism? Since I managed to access my kitchen, many doors have opened for me. I can wander out there to drink water or wash my hands. Such small privileges but tremendous…

An Action Shot…

Here in the UK, Wimbledon Tennis fortnight has begun. I never intend to binge-watch every match like I did when I was younger, but this is usually what happens. Today, though, I had planned to change our mailing list provider. Mailchimp has become too complicated and expensive. Since I recovered enough from my spinal problem,…
