I was angry; insanely angry. Murderously angry. I have been de-cluttering for years at a comfortable pace, but with new goals in mind with future plans that would greatly improve my life and my happiness, I sped up the pace. In recent months especially, I wasn't just de-cluttering, I was culling; not just getting rid … Continue reading God’s gentle nudge

Marriage Equality
Opening a Pandora's box, and will probably be slammed for my views but want to share my thoughts anyway, because I've sat on them for way too long. A bit about me first: Being raised a Catholic, it was brainwashed into me that when a person gets married, they stay married. They stick with their … Continue reading Marriage Equality
Downsizing the Family
With my dreams of one day owning my own home, but doing it in stages, I decided to start first with who would find the move most traumatic, and that would be my smallest pets. My rats, zebra finches and budgies all went to, no doubt, better homes; from the pics I've seen, they certainly … Continue reading Downsizing the Family
Cleo’s latest antics
Episode one: This morning, I was just opening my eyes at the same time that Cleo must have woke up because she started her morning routine of rolling around on her bed. Then with her fogged up eyes, she glanced in my direction, and in my bad timing, I had lifted my head the slightest … Continue reading Cleo’s latest antics
Electric Wheelchairs
Well THAT was an experience and a half.. NEVER riding an electric wheelchair again!! Those bad boys are scary as! All I wanted to do was drive one (that was left behind by my scooter guy accidentally) out to the street to be ready for the scooter guy when he comes back for it … Continue reading Electric Wheelchairs

For my friends on Facebook, you won't need to read this, it's only been altered slightly just to look tidier. In recent days, I've decided to go around the 40 year home owner drought by buying a plot of land and building my own house (albeit with professional builders since my own movements are limited), … Continue reading Self Reflection
The Low FODMAP Diet
After being diagnosed recently with a fatty liver and pancreas, no doubt both exacerbated by my history of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), I visited a Gastroenterologist today. After a quick feel around to test I had no other bowel issues (aside from what's already been diagnosed), and a few basic questions to give him a … Continue reading The Low FODMAP Diet
Dietary Changes
For the past several months, I've been training myself to eat smaller portion sizes. (It's taken me a long time because growing up, I got Hungarian/German portion sizes in my household, translating that to modern day Aussie portions, one old fashioned European portion is enough to feed four people.) Years of getting sick from … Continue reading Dietary Changes
Unwanted
Whilst preparing a bulk meal that will become breakfast, lunch and dinner for me today, I put together an array of ingredients to make a hybrid savoury mince / dryish stew. The contents being normal mince and very finely chopped (to the point of being minced in my chopper): romaine lettuce, fennel, broccoli, celery, cucumber … Continue reading Unwanted
On the fly
Pretty sure this conversation happened this morning: "Let's go to the other room, less crowded there, we can do the mating dance" "What about the human? She's in that other room!" "Oh we'll be gone long before she stirs, come on!" In the other room: After some fun and games... "Hey, check this out!" "Are … Continue reading On the fly
