Well, there goes the shower screen, along with my relaxing bath. It’s been hanging off its hinges for months, and it finally gave way just now, hitting the corner of the bath on the way down and cracking – fortunately, not into a million pieces. Good times! A lot of the fittings in this house …
Personally, I think tree removal was a great present for Mother’s Day. My Mum has always been complaining about that gum tree at the bottom of the garden, plus she’s so busy with work and everything that she has no time to do any serious gardening. It’s hard for her, being alone in that big …
So yeah, you could say at this point that I’ve basically become 90% protein. Everything I eat has protein, everything I drink besides water has protein, and water doesn’t really count because…it’s water. I’m trying to get things to the point where everything I eat is protein, at which point I basically don’t have to …
Here’s how the story goes. Saturday afternoon, a dull throb starts pulsing throughout my face, radiating from my jaw and the tooth that sometimes feels non-compliant. Terrible timing considering I had planned to take the family to the local children’s play centre. The remainder of the day is blocked out by a hazy cloud. By …
This morning I went with my mate, Kelly, to her appointment with her osteopath. I mean, I waited in the reception area, tapping my foot and weighing up where we should go for brunch. But yeah, it was the first time I’d been inside a physical therapy clinic, so I guess it was kind of …
My wife had a crazy idea come to her in the middle of the night. She shot out of bed like a rocket and darted out of the room. I had no idea what was going on, only half realising what was happening. I must have fallen back to sleep because I woke up in …
Ethel, the elderly lady next door, waved me over as I was checking the mailbox this afternoon. She wanted to know if I could remove a beehive for her – perhaps she’d overheard me professing my concerns about the global demise of bees, although she’s fairly deaf, so I doubt it. Regardless, I told her …
I look forward to blazing the trail for cat people everywhere. Personally, I’m sick and tired and I’ve had it up to here with all the abuse we get in the media. We’re often stereotyped as completely nuts, only loving our cats, living in squalor and generally not contributing anything of value to society. Well, …
School sucks, my parents suck, my friend suck and being a teenager SUCKS. Mum told me recently that I shouldn’t wish my life away, but what does she know? If I could snap my fingers and suddenly be ten years older, with a successful investment portfolio and my own massive place (that I share with …
DIY is the motto of our household. If you can’t do it yourself then it simply can’t be done. My husband is not a particularly practical man. He intends well and acts constantly for others but he often fails miserably. So when it came to having to re do our yard I wanted to do …
