Rudi and I went to The Company’s staff party last night. It’s always a big party and I really enjoyed a lot of the bands that played for us. They were all local, but some of the best local talent around, including Freshly Ground who just cleaned up at the MTV Europe music awards. I [...]
Luckily I got a good night’s sleep last night. I was so exhausted from dealing with the crisis at work and being emotionally exhausted that I hit the hay at around 20:00 and slept right through – even though Rudi said the neighbours were noisy and they woke him up. I slept through all of [...]
Here’s a tip. Don’t ever open a doctors bill in the morning. I received the pathologist bills that I have been waiting for and hastily opened them this morning so that I could pay them as soon as possible. Imagine those cartoon characters that have their eyes popping out of their socket. Oh. My. Fuck. [...]
I was going to do a list of things I’m grateful for – like I found at Wenchy‘s blog, but I’m in a super bad mood so I’m not sure it’s the right time for sunshine and rainbows. Although on the other hand some might say that this is the best time to sit down [...]

I had another episode on Saturday night that I forgot to blog about. I was watching TV and the Clicks (a chain store here in South Africa) played their Christmas advertisement. Clicks always have huge Mother’s Day and Father’s Day campaigns and advertisements and I was suddenly reminded of how much I was looking forward [...]
So I had a rough day on Friday. After receiving the photos at work I broke down and asked my supervisor if I could leave early. At the beginning of the week both he and my manager said it was OK if I needed time off and I really did on Friday, although it always [...]
Just like people who have suffered from terminal illness realize their mortality, I have realized the fragility of the things I take for granted. I take my relationship for granted. I know I shouldn’t, I really do. One minute my husband thinks I’m the sexiest girl alive, carrying his baby. Something he has always wanted. [...]
*sigh* Yesterday was a hard day. I was OK at work, I only cried once, but after I got home I couldn’t stop crying. I went to church and continued to cry there and went home and cried some more. At least I know what set me off yesterday. A lady at work lent me [...]
My second day at work definitely went better than the first day. For one thing I forgot to bring a new box of tissues, but I managed not to cry. All this despite the fact that someone came to me and spoke to me about the whole thing directly. His wife found out she was [...]
