I Heard My Husband’s Girlfriend on Talk Radio

He’s dead now, so I can say what I like about him — D. was my second husband, and we were together for almost ten years. It was tumultuous, to say the least. It wasn’t until much later I understood that he was a narcissist. Other people knew — and they were either like me, charmed and sucked into his sphere of influence…

My Steal-Like-an-Artist Method of Collecting Ideas

It’s so easy, it feels like cheating — I have an Obsidian note with about 700 ideas for articles. When I have a little time, I add another 10 to it. It’s an easy method, so easy that it feels a bit like cheating. It’s not. Remember, with very few exceptions, everything is built on what has gone…

I Found Pain Relief in a Pot of Dirty Water

Things are definitely looking up — The last four years have been a journey through pain. When I was diagnosed in 2020 with severe (left) and moderate (right) osteoarthritis in my hips, it came as a complete surprise. Mainly because the pain I’d been experiencing was in my lower legs. Of course, as soon as my…

I Ain’t Dead

Like Granny Weatherwax, I am merely absent Hello! I’m back. Sort of. Quick Update The good news: I’ve had my second hip replacement — yay! The bad news: I’ve had my second hip replacement. It’s a mixed blessing, to be honest. Anyone who has had one knows the relief of waving goodbye…

Is Your Partner Tracking Your Every Move?

Mine did — Years ago, my ex-husband placed a recording device on our landline extension so he could monitor my calls while he was away. We were in the process of splitting up (yet again). There was one call where I made arrangements to go out with a friend for the evening and…

I’m Feeling Crappy Today: Looking at Things I love

Simple pleasures: a look into my favorite everyday things — I’m feeling miserable this morning. Woke up to the news that one of my favourite entertainers, Paul O’Grady, died yesterday. Such a lovely man. And I can’t get out of this miserable mood, so I turned to my new best friend, Chatty (ChatGPT) for a suggestion to feel better. I…

The Surprising Connection Between Tarot and Quantum Physics

An exploration of possibilities — When I started out reading tarot, I thought that it was based on some magical, mysterious process. No one could know how it worked; it was all down to the fairies of the universe. But what if there was a perfectly rational explanation? What if it was really quantum physics? …

Don’t Tag Me for Reads

It turns me off — I’ve just had another writer tag me in their article. He didn’t mention me or my work, and as far as I know, we’ve never interacted and he’s never commented or clapped on any of mine. Yet, he thinks it’s a good thing to spam via email by tagging me. …

Objectophilia: A Love Story

Not with a someone; a something — I’ve said it and I bet you have too, maybe, “I’m in love with my new phone/washing machine/car/box of chocolates.” But we aren’t really, are we? Not ‘in love’, just happy with the new acquisition and probably glad to see the back of the old one. However, some people are…

Fibromyalgia Diet: How I Gave FMS Pain the Boot

A few years ago, I thought a normal life was over — A few years ago I began to get a sharp pain in my left leg. Made it hard to walk but I managed. I thought it was sciatica and waited for it to go by itself. Except it didn’t go. It got worse. And the same pain arrived in my…
