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

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

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

(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

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

The Bus Trip
The bus trip that took me to my mother was a journey of mixed emotions. It was a ride I loved because for every minute that I was on that bus, I was a minute closer to seeing my mother again. Spending valuable time with her, even if neither of us said very much, just … Continue reading The Bus Trip
