A branch snapped underneath my foot and my leg slid down the side of the tree, scraping away a patch of skin on my knee before I could catch myself. Oh, right, I mused to myself through the pain and the swearing. That’s why adults don’t climb trees. Eventually, I made it to the top …
It’s a super exciting time for me and my partner. It’s been a work in progress for quite some time, but we are finally in the home stretch of finishing building our dream home. He and I were renting for the first five years of our relationship, until one day we realised how much money …
Something I’ve always loved is my bath. I love coming home after a long day and removing all the bad energy from my body with a nice bath. It makes me feel clean, refreshed and relaxed. After fifty years of being a nurse, having a bath after work has been my go-to form of relaxation …
A few months ago, I quit my job because they wouldn’t let me bring my fourteen dogs and two fish into work every day. This was frustrating for a number of reasons, but mainly because it meant I had no new income to feed and house my fourteen dogs and two fish. Maybe the restaurant …
We’ve recently moved house and have finally finished unpacking the last box. My gosh, this has been a tiring process, I think I need a holiday! I don’t want to have to move house ever again until I’m ready to retire. The last step in this process is arranging a TV mounting. Melbourne is a …

Everyone in my community is so upset by the tragic event that I wrote about in my last blog post. It’s been a couple of days since we heard the news and more information about the boy who was killed has come to light. I won’t go into the details that I’ve heard because I …
One of my favourite things to do is just to drive around Underwood and listen to music. In a state with such good weather, I just open all my windows and my sunroof, turn up the music really loud and drive. It makes me feel good and really works with the vibe that I’m going …
My boyfriend is such a selfish person. He makes decisions all the time that affect both of us and he doesn’t even care about how it’ll impact me. He always says that he doesn’t want a relationship to hold him back, but relationships are about compromise. Not everyone can do exactly what they want whenever …
It’s funny how certain things can be hereditary. For example, teeth. You’d think everyone would have teeth that are roughly the same and that’s that. For some reason, my teeth are super weak and in horrible condition. With age they have yellowed, there are little chips, and certain teeth ended up dying so had to …
