Today I was a bit cranky and tired at school. I had a late night laughing with friends, which was fun, but there is always a price to be paid. I am retiring to bed early tonight to read and relax. I really appreciated the visit though last night or I would have stewed for […]

I have a sore tooth today. I think it might be an abcess. It’s come at an inconvenient time! I don’t take painkillers very often, it’s probably years since I’ve had a panadol or anything like that. I’m fortunate enough that if I get an occasional headache, it’s usually dehydration and I haven’t drank enough […]

Tom’s face is swollen. We went to a suburban clinic today to have all four of his wisdom teeth removed. I feel relieved to be home and have it behind me. I had my wisdom teeth out in two incidents. It was ugly and horrible. I was sick and ‘like a foul-mouthed drunk’ according to […]

I woke up this morning and as the day has gone on, my body has ached, my eyes have watered and my nose has dripped. There have been a few sickies at school this week and I felt no inclination of it. I really felt no hint of being unwell. This is not usual for […]

Today it was sunny. Crisp and sunny! Delicious. It felt like Autumn, which I love. I felt totally good. From the minute I glanced at the blueness of this mornings sky, I was totally in a different mood from yesterday. I could say the things I wanted to say to people. I could clean up. […]

Yesterday I collected my son from the Prom for the last time this summer. He put the ‘L’ plates on and drove home, he did a good job. We took a detour down a dirt road to a place called ‘Shallow Inlet’ that I remember being beautiful when my pa took me there as a […]
