Getting Started

Marriage after (nearly) 28 years: Him: “Did you check the usual places?” Me: “Yes.” Him: [immediately finds it in the usual place]

In my 50s, I’ve finally cracked the secret to long-term marriage: separate blankets, mutual selective hearing, and a shared appreciation for early bedtime.

Moving from suburban South Africa to suburban USA: Similar house, different accents, and now I say “trash” instead of “rubbish.” Progress. Oh, and we have electricity and water 99% of the time.

Nearly 28 years of marriage and my husband has officially become my human “Find My Phone” app. Except it’s not just my phone—it’s my keys, glasses, and occasionally, my coffee.

Monday Mood: Survive & Thrive ☕ Mondays are like software updates—necessary but mildly inconvenient. Just remember: ✔️ You’ve survived every Monday so far. ✔️ Coffee is your loyal sidekick. ✔️ The weekend is now closer than it was this morning. Go forth and conquer! #MondayMotivation

Doesn’t matter how old I get—I still need my dad. Good news: he’s doing better.

2024 ended with heartbreak as I said goodbye to my soul dog, and 2025 has started with challenges, with my dad in the hospital. Life’s a constant reminder to cherish those we love and find strength in tough moments. Hoping for brighter days ahead.
