November 2019 was difficult as Pretty Girl has been very ill, and we thought we were going to lose her. Not that we’ll have her for much longer, but at least we have time to prepare. Virtue Oct Nov Notes Beauty: bodyI enjoy exercising my lean, healthy 59 kg body several times a week.• Eat…

Is it my imagination, or did we skip right over October 2019? I mean I know there was stuff that happened, but I feel a bit like Speedy Gonzales whipped by and I’m left clinging to the ceiling by my fingernails. Virtue Sep Oct Notes Beauty: bodyI enjoy exercising my lean, healthy 59 kg body…

And that’s September 2019 been and gone. Is it just me, or are the days flying by faster and faster? Or is it that Christmas is in the stores already? The weather’s been good enough for working outdoors (with the laptop), but September 2019 has also had a lot of very cold and wet days.…

During August 2019, I took a few weeks off for some navel-gazing. And now I’ve started developing a new kind of normal. It’s been hard work. Naturally, it involved a hair cut and some new clothes. No new shoes just yet though. Virtue Jul Aug Notes Beauty: bodyI enjoy exercising my lean, healthy 59 kg…

July 2019 featured the transplant rejection scare, the month when the Earth spun upside down on its axis and inside out. It was terrifying (and distracting) and isn’t all better, but it does give me a new sense of urgency and a desire to get things done. And I was going through all the tests…

Due to a recent transplant rejection scare, I’ve lost track of June 2019. It took up a lot of brain power and time, but thankfully was just a scare. Though it’s really time to take myself in hand and make some changes. I seem to recall I felt quite positive at the end of the…

May 2019 marks a small but significant change in direction for little writing business. It seems that April’s clearing out had freed some time and space for other concerns. It remains to be seen whether that’s a good or bad thing. There’s nothing to see just yet, but if it works out as I hope,…

April 2019 turns out to have been a big month for getting rid of junk, working on my business, and indirectly on personal goals. During which I created a colourful and imaginative flowchart artwork made from assorted sized, shaped and coloured sticky notes. That I should have taken a picture of before I took down.…

As March 2019 disappears into long-term memory, I find myself gasping and trying to figure out where the year went. Already. What I do know, is that my Programme Manager brain runs on a year-long to-do list, and a daily list just makes me angry. In fact, I’ve spent a lot of the month angry…

And already February 2019 has passed. I mentioned last month that it would be interesting to see how the record heat/climate change would affect election campaigns, and the major parties are already off and running. My local member sent me a postcard to tell me that he (personally) had secured $15m to build an extra…

That’s January 2019 been and gone. I feel like we’re off to a good start, but I’m exhausted thinking about all the stuff I hope to get done should I survive the Summer. January 2019, according to the Bureau of Meteorology, was the warmest on record here in Victoria, as well as Australia as a…
