OK, my life is officially too freaking weird. I was at the airport on Saturday. No seats at my gate, as usual, so I plonked myself on the floor and unwrapped my sushi roll. Then my phone rang. I answered it and a friend said: "Did you just walk past me at Gate 55 and... Continue Reading →
Meet market
A bloke excitedly waved his phone at me the other night - he was on the RSVP mobile site. "Look!" He said. "There are 600 single women within a 25km radius of me! 600!" He seemed to regard it as some sort of fantasy candy shop. When I didn't share his excitement, he tried to... Continue Reading →
I’m running away
I informed Husband that I wasn't ASKING him, I was TELLING him. I'm going away and he needs to step up. He wanted to know WHERE I was going and I told him it was none of his business. That felt gooooooood. I'm leavin' on a jet plane this afternoon ... It's only for 24... Continue Reading →
A bit lost
Yesterday was a tired, irrational kind of day. You know the ones? My head was too full and I only slept three hours. At 4.30am I checked the time on my phone - I still can't find my bedside clock after the move - and saw two messages I really wish I hadn't, because there... Continue Reading →
This time I left
My eldest's school band performed at the Sydney Opera House last night, as part of the Festival of Choral Music. She was very chuffed. It was Husband's custody night, so I tried to get out of going (eldest on stage for 5 minutes, countless strangers' children on stage for the other 120 minutes). But Husband... Continue Reading →
I’m getting a reputation
And that reputation is well deserved. I invited my sister over for lunch yesterday and she had to keep reminding me not to tell anyone things we were discussing because of my tendency to over-share. Is there an Over-sharers' Anonymous? Because I need to join. Because I can't stop. People often regard the blog as... Continue Reading →
Night walking
I've become something of an exercise freak over the past six months. Prior to Husband leaving, exercise was something I did because I thought I should. But my heart wasn't really in it. After he left it was something I did out of necessity. I'd step into a gym class or put my runners on... Continue Reading →
I thought I was OK
After eight hours of blissful (assisted ... Thank you Bea) sleep on Saturday night, I was feeling pretty damn good. I thought. The new house was almost unpacked (thank you - again - Fee, Hels, Wendy, Mum, Dad and Adrian); it was looking very cosy, the kids were delighted with their new rooms, and Husband...

I need oblivion
Well, not forever. This isn't some desperate cry for attention before I do something stupid. I just want to be blissfully unconscious for seven or so hours every night. That's not too much to ask, is it? Except I can't sleep. I haven't been able to sleep for nigh on six months now. And it's... Continue Reading →
House moves homes
Yesterday it finally happened - I moved out of my home of seven years and into a rental. This blog was supposed to be about all my favourite memories of the house - like celebrating the eldest's beach themed birthday (as seen above) a few years back. But I feel completely unsentimental right now so... Continue Reading →
