Your Aperture & focus in Life
A topic came up at a braai the other day, which sorta stuck to me and got me thinking about life and the different ways that different people live their own. Have you ever had a discussion with someone to realise that this person is looking at life in a very different way than you [...]

Back on track
Been keeping to my eating (with the exception of an ice cream and chocolate yesterday) and exercise plan and it makes me feel rather good about life and myself, as expected. I’ve been feeling physically challenged the past few days, having trouble climbing stairs etc. My trainer is doing her job. Good.
Apart from that I’m [...]
The real deal.
I think I might have reached that stage in infertility where it has become so evidently real that it feels like someone is poking a sword in my eye – come on, get real, this is it, stop trying to ignore it and live with it. My normal excuses and rationalisations don’t quite suffice anymore, [...]

Getting my Fitness Act Together
Right, so I’ve been out of the gym now probably for 3-4 months! Pathetic!
I was in such a good nick and then I went on Metformin (Glucophage) which had me hugging the toilet for several days and feeling faint during training, and despite me going off of treatment after only a week, I’ve never been [...]
Speaking of being tired…
This letter was featured in the NYT and Jeremy read it on Highveld the other day. I had such a good laugh…enjoy!
Letter from 98 year old lady to her banker:
Dear Sir:
I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month.
By my calculations, three nanoseconds must [...]
A Place of Quiet
My FIL sent me a poem.
Plaashek
Bloedrooi die alwyn langs
die slingerpad.
Dis of daar vonke uit
elk vuurpyl spat.
Maar niks, niks roer nie…net
‘n luggie wat
skrams aan die ritselende grassate vat.
Daarbo die blou, blou lug,
daaronder die rivier
wat deur die boorde kronkel met
‘n groen swier.
Niks stoor die yle swewende
Bergstilte hier.
Na al die jare maak ek weer
‘n plaashek oop.
Waar het [...]
A stroll down memory lane… *warning fanny bits under discussion*
Today I recall one of the most hallarious threads in the lifetime of Fertilicare :
THose of you that have been part of such communities will smile upon this one.

AF is here – How will this affect my App?
Ok, AF got her timing [...]
So I told a dog…
I told her about my aspirations to become an egg donor and ultimately one day a surrogate…
Hysterical laughter ensued…
I don’t get this dog? *scratching head* So much for a man’s best friend…
Why it helps to call the handyman…
It’s Saturday, the weather is fine, fine, fine…starved for a little barbie/braai I head out to our patio, set up the Weber and I light a fire. DH is on his way back from a course.
Now, the fire is alight and I feel rather agitated by our sliding door that keeps getting stuck. This is [...]
Work Ethic & Purposeful Living
I’m a bit of a lazy ass, by some people’s standards, a workaholic by other’s and the gears in my mind are constantly churning on this. When am I working enough? When am I working too little, what does work mean in my life? What do I want to be doing? What do I enjoy [...]
