Finally
Tomorrow I am getting divorced. I have planned my outfit, found something I look slightly less pregnant in. No idea why it feels important not to look pregnant but somehow it does. Or maybe I should just wear a tight top and cause the quiet behind the hands whispers. At 16 weeks it is ridiculous to have a bump at all but it is there and a lot of it.
I...
Meat Free Monday
I love cooking and actually have toyed with the idea of being a vegetarian quite a few times, but to be honest I really really like meat and it is always the smell of bacon cooking that stops me. And a life without biltong I might not be able to contemplate. But I think we need to be more aware of the environment and we need to be more careful about the...
So he has a girlfriend!
It was Rachel’s birthday on Friday. I asked ex to please send her a card as I was supposed to get the gift for her. He was offshore and moaned he could not do it in time. But then the next time he phoned he told her he had posted her a card and she was so excited. No matter what happens between him and I and who thinks who is to blame or who feels...
Can you help???
I was visiting my friend yesterday and she was telling me about these gymnasts at their club that walk 15km to and from training and come from nothing yet are trying to make something with their lives. They have a chance to go to Pretoria and compete in the South African Gym Games. I hope that by putting this out there more people might see it and be able...
Moving, many hands make lighter work
When I was growing up I only moved once when I was 5, the rest of my life we spent in one house and it was very stable. I went to one primary school and one high school. The first time I moved after that was when I went to university in Jhb. Since then I have moved a ridiculous number of times. Now when we move at the end of the month it will have been...
New Tattoo in the planning
Okay so after establishing that I can not get a tattoo in pregnancy. I am resigned to wait until after the birth. It seems that while worried of hepatitis and stuff are unfounded now as a reputable places only use sterilized equipment and new needles, they worry seems to be about the ink and the stress hormones that might affect the baby. That I can...
Lonely
Now that is not a word that I thought I would be saying once I was in a relationship and happy, but there it is. I am really lonely. In a very different way than before, I am not alone in a relationship sense. I have Yme and we talk and we do stuff and it is good, that part of me that wanted to sharing something with someone is fulfilled but I left a lot of...
Updates
It seems fitting somehow that on spring day 1 September I got all sorts of news but the 2 big ones are
The lawyer’s office phoned and we have a court date. 29 September, yay in less than a month a year and a half’s worth of fighting is finally over. I can hardly believe it. Does a party sound crude? It is just such an immense relief to finally...
