New Year’s Resolutions: 4. Relationships
These goals are getting a bit easier in topics now – at least for me. Phew! 😅 2016 presented a number of challenges regarding friendships and tested my introverted nature regarding relationships.

New Year’s Resolutions: 3. Finances
Okay, so this is a BIG one for me/us as 2016 was a massive financial struggle once I gave up work and the benefit of paid housing. Little did I know what a huge challenge it was going to be to work out housing on our limited income. Now, I am not saying that we/I…

New Year’s Resolutions: 2. Work

Screen Time Overload…?
Remember the days when we were told to go outside and get some fresh air or the parents controlled how much time we could spend watching TV? As an adult, I no longer have someone to tell me to go outside or to do “something useful”. When I was a university student, I hardly even…

Back To It
The winter holidays are over, so life is on its way back to ‘normal’ again. I had not realized that it had been nearly three weeks that M was off, so this morning when he had to leave early I was a little bit surprised. It also meant that we missed our morning gym time…

Podcast Fav 1: Serial
Just before the end of last year (yes just a few days ago), I made a list of my recent interest in podcasts. While I do have some other topics to write on, I am saving them up for my focus next week…yep, I am getting a handle on planning my posts, even for here…

_The Loney_ by Andrew Michael Hurley
_The Loney_ by Andrew Michael Hurley Looking for a “holiday” read, I saw that this book was available on Kindle. I had been waiting for it to come out since seeing it on a friend’s list of coming books, but then forgot about it amidst other reading priorities. As my first book of 2017, I…
