It's the Last Week Before I Willingly Surrender
As is my usual custom for this time of year, I am dreading Christmas. I know I am not alone. It's not just that every retailer on the planet is so desperately trying to separate me from every last penny I've ever had in my entire life, and they wo
Sick Season or Plain Stress
Hello, Recently for the past 2-3 days I not only figure out why my throat was hurting where I swallow, but it turned into actually catching a cold after. At first I was wondering if I caught a cold from the flu season nope
Koala Karma - soon to become Australian Slang for Relaxation
#Energy drinks are all the rage at the moment. Few sports, fun runs or evenings out on the town are complete without a can, whether as a mixer or as a pick-me-up. But what about the wind down? When the #chill-out tracks are playing in the small hours at t

Good morning or whatever part of the day it is for you. Today is Monday March 23, 2015, my first post-wedding post. They tell me it was a beautiful ceremony. I’ll have to take their word for it. I barely remember it. I was a bit stressed. If someone
Customer Service is NOT Easy.
To anyone who says working in Customer Service must be so easy, because I sit at a desk and take calls and work on the computer, I would like to tell you otherwise. If I had to choose between working at a call center and working retail or at a resta

short story review: "The Judge's Will" by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
Unlike so much of literary fiction, this story is not set in New York City and has nothing to do with MFA programs. If for that alone, it is a breath of fresh air. The judge of the title had just had his second heart attack. He lives in a gloomy old
What the app says
I have always loved walking. For me, #walking is not just about physical#exercise but one of the best and cheapest ways of relieving #stress and tension. It makes my head clear and never fails to lift up my spirits whenever I feel weigh
Darts: Not Feeling It
I am just a little bit past half way of my current dart season and I have to say my enjoyment has taken a down turn. Oh I am doing well enough, as i am currently third in my division for points. I guess it is that I joined this league and came down
Christmas Songs Project - "Christmas Is the Saddest Day of the Year"
I posted a video for Jill Sobule's "Christmas Is the Saddest Day of the Year" yesterday, and I didn't expect to get much, if any, feedback about it, since most of the feedback I get tends to be for the songs that have proven to be very popular. But t
Travelling always gives me a massive headache
I have just come back from a road trip and I am feeling as if I have been crushed under a truck. I don't know why this happens to me. I love travelling whether by car, bus or aeroplane. I don't mind packing #luggage (unpacking is a different issue,
Category Challenge: Business
I don't know much about business but I know a little bit about budgeting and financial planning (okay my hubby does) but as we discuss most stuff with each other, I will share some ideas here. These are more his tips than mine but I am sure he will le
Music: The natural stress reducer
My last post read like a leaked journal entry of a metal patient. I was stressing all kinds of things not the least of which was looking like an elephant in a photo. A now destroyed photo. Ha! I decided it was time for my meds. No, not pills or alcohol. M
Sorry Was Not Able To Log in No Power for 10 hours
Well I had a good and bad day today. First the bad part was that we had a #power #failure for 10 hours from 7am - 10pm. They were doing #maintenance #check-up. Good thing that it was a cool day because it was raining. So to be #productive I cleaned u
