Good day friends,

Hope you are all well.

It is cold today. I decided that on the menu for tonight is the last of the soup in the freezer. Tomorrow I will be making chicken soup, it is the boys’ favorite as well. It is also an easy and filling dinner for those days when I am not feeling like cooking at all.

Good day friends,

Today my oldest turned 22 years old. The day he was born it also rained. Over the last 22 years I can honestly say he only brought me joy. I am blessed with two very good boys who have respect for themselves and others.

Good day friends,

Hope you are all well. I am really sorry for my inconsistent posting over the past few months. I am getting help and I hope to do better in the future….

Well, I went for my 6 monthly checkups yesterday and a checkup on the leg. When the doctor asked me how I was doing, I burst into tears and it took me about 10 minutes before I could answer him. This was the first time that he saw me crying like that.

My blood pressure was high, Cholesterol was in range and my blood sugar was way too low. I have inflammation in my left and right leg muscles and are on anti inflammatories for the next 3 months. Because I am putting so much stress on my right leg so that the left leg can heal properly it caused inflammation…

About the outburst. Well, the doctor put me on a light anti-depressant for the next 3 months. Also have to find a new psychiatrist, mine is moving away. So, I am on a waiting list for two psychiatrists. One of my tax clients is a life coach and he told me this morning he will send me a few more names of psychiatrists that he normally refers his clients to.

According to the weather forecast, we are having a lovely warm and cloudy Autumn Day. With a minimum temperature of 13°C, a maximum temperature of 30°C and winds up to 19 km/h.

If you were wondering I did not do something radical yesterday. I decided that because 2022 is my year of judgement according to the cards, I have enough on my plate for now. I will stay single and find myself one piece at a time….

Ooooh 😱 Friday the 13th…. Haha, over the past few years I have proven that on Friday the 13th I usually do some crazy stuff to empower myself…. In 2019 I enrolled in a photography course and today I have a Diploma in Photography as well as a Certificate in Landscape and Travel Photography. What will I be doing today? Well, I still have 14 hours to do it….

I don’t have any plans set out for the weekend, I think I am going to take it easy and maybe pick up my camera and take a photo or two…. Tonight, I am going to make a nice fire in my fireplace and curl up in front of it with a book and a cup or two of Hot Chocolate. Maybe my creative juices will start flowing again…

According to the weather forecast, we are having a lovely cool and cloudy Autumn Day. With a minimum temperature of 11°C, a maximum temperature of 18°C and winds up to 17 km/h. They also predicted some rain later this morning.

Today I am grateful for my two wonderful sons, for supporting me and comforting me, they are my pillar of strength at this moment. I am grateful for my wonderful online friends who support me even though I am not really present at this moment. I am grateful for my few true friends who really stuck by me through this difficult time. I am truly grateful for a roof over my head and food in my cupboards and freezer. Last and the most important one I am grateful to be alive and that my Heavenly Father is taking care of me and all of those dear and near me.

Well, I had one very unproductive night, sleeping wise…

That is my own fault though. Yesterday, I was feeling a bit tired and had an earache and decided to take a powernap and only woke up three hours later🤷🏻‍♀️. I felt much better but paid the price last night….

Oh, my word friends, Armand and I walked to the shop 350 meters from home yesterday. I have no idea why but I just could not walk at a snail’s pace, and I ended up paying the price on our way back. I know it is the first time I walked this far after the accident but my goodness it was only 700 meters on flat surface.

I can’t remember that it was this painful at 17 when I tore my hamstring and ligaments…. Yes, yes, I am 31 years older I know…. Oh well, I will just have to be patient and take it one day at a time….

Well, these days I have the tendency to do some online shopping with the eyes only luckily. I always wanted a Ford Ranger truck, but I am not that big and for my line of work I do need a 4×4 but not a bulky one. One of my friends told me that he thought a Jimny would be perfect for me and yesterday Morné confirmed that it would be ideal for me. So, I went on the Suzuki website to see how they look.

I must say I kind of love it. The cost for entry level Jimny is R326 900. For some people this won’t be a lot of money, but at this stage it is a lot for me. My dad never believed in buying second hand vehicles. He said you only buy the previous owner’s problems…. And I agree with him. I only had second hand vehicles my whole life and I always paid more for repairs than I paid for the vehicle. What to do?

When I changed my Photography Genre to Landscape and Travel Photography, I knew I would eventually get a 4×4 to get to all the places I want to be. Last night I did some thinking and I decided that I will buy myself a Birthday Persent for 2023. This gives me some time to save up and maybe I will get a discount if I pay cash. I also don’t want to worry about a monthly premium. What do you guys think?

I woke up this morning not feeling like doing much. I got dressed, went outside and started filling up the holes in the grass Willow and Oprah dug. Yes, you read correctly, Oprah is also into digging holes….

I want to take some photos of her today. She is growing up so fast and adjusted very good. I have started potty training today. So far so good…. But I will see how the day progresses.

I got the go ahead that I can start walking from my physiotherapist. I must take it slow and it must be a flat surface. So, I am going to walk to the shop around the corner and buy myself some marshmallows to roast in the fireplace tonight.

We have an extra public holiday today. I wanted to do some cleaning; Miriam was supposed to help me today but when I went to fetch her, she did not show. I tried calling and sending messages. I am supposed to still take it easy with my leg and I know that an accident happens fast and then I have to start the recovery period all over again.

It is laundry day and the weather is perfect to dry the bedding and towels. I will have to do some cleaning today also, but maybe I will spread it throughout the week and do one or two rooms per day. This way I still have time to spend in front of the computer editing, scheduling posts and liking and reading my fellow bloggers’ posts.

Good day friends,

And so, the last month of Autumn has arrived. What a year so far…

I am grateful that I am able to share my work with each and every one of my followers and the public on my different social media platforms. Although I have not been very active on the different platforms since December 2021….

My “boyfriend” (my camera for those who don’t know) and I, have not been spending much time together since 17 January 2022. I did take a portrait photo for friend for his labels but that was it. I keep making plans for us, but when push comes to Shuff I don’t feel like doing anything.

I still have thousands of photos to edit and share with you, but what if I run out of photos and I am not out of this slump… Maybe I need some help….

Good day friends,

How are you doing on this beautiful cold Autumn Day?

Last night I went to bed around 10:00pm and woke up this morning just after 3:00am again but this time I was short of breath and had to use my inhaler. Since I had Covid I have been using my inhaler on a regular basis.

I love this cold weather, tonight I am going to light up my fireplace and sit and read a book and drink hot chocolate curled up next to Willow on the couch.

Good day friends,

How are you doing on this beautiful Autumn Day?

Last night I went to bed around 9:00pm and woke up this morning just after 3:00am. I could not fall asleep again and decided to get up and start editing today’s hourly photo posts.

Today I want to continue editing and start working on my social Media accounts. I have a few, and all of them need some updating… I also need to start making slide shows for my TikTok account and start posting a daily slide show. My aim is to get my work out there on all possible platforms.

My aim is to start a YouTube Channel also. But first I must learn some more about videography. I do have an extra camera and lens; I just need to learn how to use it properly for videos. As soon as I have that figured I can start posting videos as well.

I am a very busy bee this morning. Busy cooking, doing laundry, trying not to commit murder and now I am going to start editing.

We have a new member in the family too. Lian adopted Oprah on Thursday and Friday we went to fetch her. I will take some photos of her during the day and introduce her to you. Willow loves her and she is very good with the little one.

Well, my friends, I did it again…. I managed to hurt my leg again when I filled a hole Willow dug in the garden. I stepped back and lost my footing. I was fine till I drove to my brother for some forms to be signed.

I was in so much pain yesterday. A friend came to the rescue with some pain killers and rubbed and bandaged my leg last night.

I can feel the pain killers are not working anymore, but I can’t drink any now. I have to go to sort some stuff out with Dad’s estate. But as soon as I get back home after my meeting, I will definitely take some.

Good day friends,

How are you doing on this beautiful day? Another week at its end. Time surely flies the older you get.

I woke up this morning at 3:15am again and it took me a while to go back to sleep again. I am really starting to consider changing my sleeping routine and going to bed earlier and then getting up at 3:00am to start my day. This way when Spring arrives, I will be conditioned for the early morning photo shoots.

I did not sleep that great last night. We had loadshedding from 12:00am until 2:30am. I had a fever and unfortunately, I don’t have a battery-operated fan to help me cool down. I only went to sleep after 4:00am this morning and woke up at 7:30am.

I am waiting patiently for the moment I crash today…. Until then I will have to get working on scheduling my posts for the next few weeks as well as getting back to editing our holiday in Scotland….
