The Butterfly Who Flapped Too Hard

  • Test Results

    Got my letter yesterday telling me when my next oncologists appointment is - and it's not for another month. Didn't feel like waiting that long for my scan results after RAI, you know the one? You go into hospital, take a pill, get classed as a danger to society, so you get locked in a room with a star trek air lock door, then studied and scanned like a science experiment to see where all the radiation has congregated…

  • Everyone needs a nest day!

    Duvet days are so last year! What you need is a nest day! Today is a nest day for me.

    I've pushed myself too hard the last couple of days, and today I feel a little bit broken.

  • Dating

    I'm sure there are a few single folks out there, both old and young alike, as well as those of us in the middle somewhere. I'm also sure, that everyone is single for very different reasons to one another that cover the full spectrum of emotions and circumstances. I'm also sure, that we're all bombarded every single day with images and messages that tell us that being alone is wrong, and that we need another person there…
