Fireworks, literally, raged until after 2.30 AM last night. I’m all about celebrating, but the chaos of those fireworks caused unrest amongst normal human beings, birds, dogs and everything else sensitive to noise was absolutely unnecessary that late into the night. I’m still ANNOYED by it! Thankfully, Alexa and Bull are not impacted by fireworksContinue reading “The Day after Boom-Boom-Boom!”

Sunday Arvo Musings
Today has been busy with chores, brunch with my sister at Fred’s Market Restaurant (yummy) and then Costco. My anxiety in places like Costco and Sam’s Club is always different. Today, I did pretty good – but the longer I’m there the more my anxiety kicks into overdrive. I think if people were more considerate,Continue reading “Sunday Arvo Musings”
Recovery. Relax. Refresh.
The last day of school was bittersweet – sorta. If you’ve read my previous scribbles, you’ll know this was the second year in a row that was absolutely rough and ‘chaotic’. There were a handful of my kids that made it okay. I will truly miss that group because they have dreams that they talkContinue reading “Recovery. Relax. Refresh.”
The End is Nigh.
Just five days remain of the 2022-23 SY and let me assure you, there is no tired – aside from my mum tired – like teacher end of the year tired! And honestly, tired isn’t even the right word — that would be EXHAUSTED. When you reach this point of the year as a teacher,Continue reading “The End is Nigh.”
Strength.
When I think about my Mum, I am reminded about her strength throughout my lifetime. She’s been there through the good, the bad and certainly the ugliest moments in my life journey. I am so fortunate to still have both of my parents and for them to still be together. I know this is notContinue reading “Strength.”
Favourites.
Finally at weekend! I’m super busy getting ready to celebrate my Mum tomorrow! So, here are a few of my favourites … Have a great weekend everyone!
Not for the faint of heart.
What. A. Long. Week. So glad to be at weekend! And Alexa and Bull are glad that I’m just cooling my jets … I love my new place more and more. My chores are so much easier now, but no laundry today since I dragged the last bit of my move out of my carContinue reading “Not for the faint of heart.”
And it’s alright …
It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay If you’re lost, we’re all a little lost It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright – to be lost sometimes. And it’s alright … Remembering Jane today because she was a strong soul and remains a light in the heavens.
Life Lessons.
Life lessons are often really not something anyone looks forward to but they come in two ways: expected and unexpected. Since 2021, I’ve been looking for a house and the market exploded in early 2022 … with houses being INSANELY overpriced in the Tampa Bay area. Like $120,000 to $150,000 more than what they wereContinue reading “Life Lessons.”
Reset.
Life. It’s nothing but a roller coaster … the ups, downs, straightaways, loops, twists and turns. And sometimes it’s hard to believe that there are millions going through the same things or very similar things as you are at the very same moment. I’ve gotten so much better on my journey in how I reactContinue reading “Reset.”
