Just a Moment Ago



It is extremely painful to stumble over photos like these.

My man and my Honey-dog in their favourite place.

I was right there - just a moment ago.

I miss them both terribly.

Greetings People

Plett April 2017 Hallelujah, It is back to school day. I cannot even tell you (do I need to explain?) how good it feels to have a quiet uncluttered house. Living with 8 other people (actually 10 cos my folks currently live in our flat) is not for the faint of heart.  As most of you know - I LIKE quiet. And wide open spaces.  And did I mention QUIET? clearly a moment when i was not quite camera ready :-) These holidays were a great success but by Saturday I had just had  enough  - I unravelled completely and went off like a stark-raving banshee.  It was extremely unpleasant; I tried to reason with myself but alas, I was powerless against the tide. The introvert came out like a demon demanding that everyone sod off and that everything needed to just STOP for a moment.  I have to say that Kev is very good at creating space for me but even he came under wicked fire --- totally blamed him for my insane state.

I was able to get up, walk outside, take a deep breath and set up a silly little hunt for my kids. It wasn't the best day but it wasn't the worst.

The Slide

Today was overwhelmingly difficult. Just getting up felt exhausting. Last night held some revelations for me that were deeply hurtful. Deeply disconcerting. Late night talks and tears with my middlest had us both laid low in despair. I spent the better part of the morning talking to Farn and she helped me find perspective. Thank God for the voice of reason in a season of too much noise. Add to this emotional burden the fact that an ongoing mysterious ankle injury is keeping me from running. I have rested for weeks, Seen a specialist. Rested some more. Ran 5k last week pain free but since then cannot run even 100m without pain. I am in that funk. Where every little thing is just too big. Draw the curtains. Take a bath. Find something mindless on tv. Tomorrow is another day.
