Two years ago I visited an optometrist because my eyes started changing colour. The colour change was gradual at first. I originally had bright blue eyes that slowly became greyer. I was disappointed once they turned grey because people stopped complimenting them. They used to be the talking point of every conversation. People used to …
I’ve always had an interest in owning houses in strange places. My favourite idea for a house, which I’ll be building as soon as I have the money, is a home in the arctic circle. I just think it would be so cool to have a house where the polar bears live, with all that …
Day 15 Without Heating What ever happened to the ducted heating we were supposed to be getting? Did the landlord see that it would cost more than five dollars and decide she would rather buy a single coffee on a cold winter’s day? If you gave her the option to do the right thing by …
I am protesting against cars and driving. It has become such a norm in our society that you have to drive or own a car to be considered a successful ‘adult’. Well, I strongly disagree with that notion. I am single-handedly saving the planet by refusing to get my license or drive a car. Have …

Today’s the day. After my phone call with the bathroom renovators, things have started moving quickly. They actually squeezed me in between bigger projects because they understood the urgency of it. They said that I shouldn’t have to go without a proper shower for any longer and because of that only a couple of days …
Why do all dentists wear blue? In fact, I feel like that’s the standard throughout the entire health industry. People wear blue if they are a doctor, a surgeon, an aged care worker, or anything else. Is blue just the universal colour of health and medicine? Maybe it’s just a thing in my area. For …
I’ve never liked Christmas. I find it overwhelming and feel like it’s just an opportunity for my family to question all my life decisions. I’m a single woman in my mid thirties and this has divided my family. When I told them all six years ago that I’d never have kids or get married, some …
My friend’s parents just got divorced. Her dad made some bad investments and went bankrupt and her mum divorced him as a result. She really doesn’t like her mum because her mum has never been particularly nice, and so my friend has chosen to move out with her dad. Being bankrupt, her dad can’t afford …
