Today, we woke up extra early and headed out in the dark along a familiar route to hospital. The journey was for nothing major…just a regular checkup appointment at the Liver Transplant Unit for my husband. However, this day has very special meaning…four years ago we also got up early and made the journey to […]
I am somewhat of a stationary geek….I love pens and notebooks. Which means I also love getting a new diary…something satisfying yet exciting about opening a diary to a new year. For some reason, I prefer what we call financial year diaries…I think the equivalent would be academic year diaries overseas. I like getting that […]

Which means it is time to switch my wardrobe around…put my summer gear away and bring out my winter outfits. However I am already counting down the days till […]
A “memory” from about four years ago popped up on my Facebook feed recently…I had written how I was so hoping my husband would get a new liver for his birthday, which is in a few days. Although my words didn’t portray it, I remember how worried I was back then…and scared…frustrated. He had been […]
