My day was busy, and then out tonight, the reason for this very late blog. But, in keeping with my goal, I will still have only missed one day since September 2! What a pleasure it was to be out tonight with our lovely neighbours to see the RocKwiz Christmas Concert at the Thebarton theatre. It…
Well, My UnseenDisappearing World, my personal story of living with younger onset dementia has and is being presented all over the place. The title for it is still applicable, but it seems my world is expanding at a rate that will mean I have to write a new story, as they do with movies, a version 2,…
Up: the two letter word with many meanings (Author unknown) This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is ‘UP.’ It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v]. It’s easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why…
My friend and carer Jodi made me promise to tell this story. It is definitely a story I am glad to have remembered, a good one for my children to have later on, and it highlights well a little of who I am! I am a little nervous about it as there are people out there, who…
If we are not being what we say we are, then we are not authentic, or as Robyn Moore (The Power of The Word) would say, we are being a fraud! Some days, dementia makes me feel as if I am not being authentic to myself, as I start towards a new thought or a new project, then…
Just for something different… I am feeling confused about the Discussion Page I added a few weeks ago!!! I set it up to make it easier for me to track everyone’s comments. I’m delighted people are talking to me on that page, but now I’m not so sure it works for me! Some days, the…
There are days I feel despondent about the way I write or the words I use, as I read another bloggers beautiful words and think to myself, I wish I could write like that. It is with some trepidation I keep on blogging, that I kept on with the November NaNoWriMo project, and that I share…
I did it! Woo hoo… I did it, and for that, you, my amazing supporters and cheerleaders deserve my love and sincere thanks. Now I have time to sit back and enjoy my first ever NaNoWriMo moment, think about what on earth to do with all those words and how to turn them into something worthwhile. I…
Ok you lot, I’m back from the rehab physio, and almost back at NaNoWriMo but I had so many messages here and on my phone, I felt I should post a quick blog. I say, Get those hats on, and the glass of champagne or cup of tea in waiting, and keep cheering. Karen sent an…
So excited I’m posting a second blog, an update on the challenge. Only 3190 words to go on the NaNoWriMo counter… thanks everyone for your cheering and support. I’m heading off to the Neurophysiotherapist for some rehab, then back to the writing. xx
Today my blog is a lazy one. It is the final countdown, and I am behind schedule. The NaNoWriMo pep talks and feedback suggest every single other person working on this goal is in the same boat. It encourages me to keep going, and if I don’t make it this year, then I can have…
Yesterday was too much emotion for me to write for NaNoWriMo, and a lot of time needed for being with my sick friend and speaking to doctors and family and friends again. I did not have the emotional or physical energy to even consider writing the 2000+ words required for yesterdays November novel-writing goal. Oh…
Yesterday I really wanted to blog about my very sick hospitalised friend, but to have done so would have meant there would have been no words at all, just tears. Hence the crazed focus on the NaNoWriMo goal in between hospital visits, phone calls and meetings with his other friends. He had another seizure, and…
10,000 words! That was my goal today. I started at 9am, three hours later than planned, but at 6am I thought, what the hell, it is Sunday, and stayed in bed to share the cup of tea made for me by my husband. As usual, the tea (which I usually make but was too lazy to get out of bed…
