It’s Not All Puppies and Kittens

Having just finished another long streak at work (9 out of 10 days in a row),  I tend to start my weekend with a sleep in. No worries about when to wake up, just whenever sleep runs out.  Perhaps it’s just another form of procrastination, but I like to take the time to appreciate other [...]

Tights should not count as ‘pants’. Not even in a financial crisis.

 
An apple a daykeeps the doctor away ….or is it 10 000 cobs of corn in a box, 10 000 cobs of corn, take one down and pass it around…  you’ve still got lots of corn.  I will explain later. 
First, since my last post was so very long ago let me update you with some [...]

For reasons still mostly unknown to me, MrIT offered to accompany me to a local op-shop today. We did a very similar thing last week. Strange, but true. Normally this would be a strictly solo adventure. I’ll ask no questions, glad for the company. I tend to buy a lot of books on these trips, [...]

One of the advantages of having power over your own blog is that you can do a bit of snooping and see where visitors come from and how they got there.

I admit to having a kind of short attention span. I get distracted easily and I’m really good at procrastinating. That said, I’m currently actually making progress with a set of case reports for a continuing education course that are, say, a few months overdue. On top of actually writing the reports, the most frustrating [...]

 
It’s Valentine’s Day. Most romantic day of the year, or a pile of steaming Hallmark claptrap? For some it’s a day of expectations and romance, for others feelings of contempt or loneliness. It’s only one day, it gets to have a brief appearance between other commercial performances like Christmas, selling made-in-China Australian flags for Australia [...]

It feels a little odd to be celebrating anything given the state of the world right now, but for a moment of self indulgence and reflection – I’m another year older today(well, yesterday by the time I post this). Meanwhile over here on the east coast of Australia, we have one state under water and [...]
