Last night, I wrote a blog post detailing how I was feeling in that moment. I was in a flare up, I couldn’t get warm, I was miserable over the feeling of missing out. But I ended the blog post with “tomorrow will be better.” Well. Tomorrow is today, so let’s see how things are…
It’s Saturday night, the sun has set and the rain has settled in. I’m out of commission for the night. In truth, for most of the day. This blog post chronicles the darker side, the shadow side of living with chronic pain. Content warnings for depression, ADHD, CRPS, description of injuries + mentions of a…
Did you know one year ago I had just got back into the country and was quarantining? Thankfully we avoided the hotel quarantine in Melbourne (which turned out to be quite the fiasco) by 24 hours… We were in Japan and had left waaaaay back at the beginning of March, before COVID19 even had the…

Alright my friends, let’s dive into a topic that is very close to my heart. Burnout. It comes in many different flavours, and honestly? All of them suck. Burnout can be caused by taking on too much work, poor time management, stress (in ANY area of your life), depression, executive dysfunction, no work/life balance (I…
I need to come up with better titles. Anyway. This is what it says on the tin! A list of my absolute favourite TV shows. Also movies. And Youtube channels. Also plays, theatre + live performances. Listen, it’s comprehensive. THE TV LIST: Broadchurch – Devastating British detective show. Three seasons, all interconnected. One of the…
