Working Out After Midnight, Would You?

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 10 Oct 18

Okay, I can't say it was a full work out, I did a few lunges and squats and a few stretches and tried to get the kinks out of my shoulders and neck. It was after midnight and I was keeping an eye on Daisy and then halfway through...

I Felt Helpless. Thank Goodness She Is Better!

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 8 Oct 18

First of all, thank you to everyone who wished Daisy well. I thought she was going to die that night I sat up with her, she was so sick, she was hurting and I felt helpless. Was not sure the antibiotics was going to help her, but,...

Would You Like To Join Me?

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 28 Sep 18

Today, I want to run, run away from every single worry. Where do I want to run to? An Island, any quiet, idyllic Island. Then, I start thinking about the weather that is hitting Islands and I start wondering...what are the odds...

A Bit Of Kitsch In My Kitchen, Uhm, Maybe Again...

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 26 Sep 18

Cleaning my kitchen early this morning, I looked about it and and spotted this bit of kitsch that I had put to one side on a ledge that we have a clock resting on. I know they are kitsch, but they are kind of cute too, don't you...

It Made Me Smile...

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 25 Sep 18

This little "wagtail" brought a smile to my face this morning. It just looked too adorable walking about with its tail bopping up and down in the air. A busy little bird it was. It caught my attention flying about outside my...

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 23 Sep 18

After the excitement of having to listen to pan flute music for nearly 3 hours yesterday (I am still hearing the music ) when I got home from the library I needed an outlet for all the annoyance that had built up. So,...

I Don't Know If It Is Soothing Or Annoying!

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 22 Sep 18

I am at the library, and you know how silent the library can be. Well, somewhere close by someone is playing pan flute music at quite a high volume. I am not sure if I am finding this music soothing or annoying. They are playing...

No Power, So....

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 20 Sep 18

Sitting without power for three hours last night. I wondered what I used to do when I was young and we had power interruptions at night. It didn't happen as often back then as it does now, but I remember I had glow in the dark cut...

So Much Scary Information!

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 15 Sep 18

It feels like my country is falling apart. We're in a recession, the cost of everything is going up, people are barely keeping their heads above water, so to speak. There is a terrible fight about land going on and violence,...

Just Breathe And Listen....

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 8 Sep 18

Yesterday we got our first rain after a dry winter. It was so good to hear rain falling again and to see the flash of lightning and hear the rumble of thunder. I have much on my mind lately and while listening to the rain...

Walk Away! I Would!

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 5 Sep 18

I had to laugh, luckily my friend could laugh about it too! Recently over a cup coffee or two, we could just sit and shake our heads. I don't watch horror movies and nor does she, but the one evening she was channel surfing and...

It Is Hard To Believe...

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 31 Aug 18

It is hard to believe, when you look at this photo of my Missy Daisy, that she is now blind. I took this photo of her last week and she is looking up at me, or it seems as if she is looking up at me, but actually she was just...

Yes, 32 Hours And Counting...

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 30 Aug 18

Yes, 32 hours and counting that we have had no water now. They say they can't give us a time that we'll have water back. Apparently our suburb will be last to get water back because we are in a high lying area. The explosion at...

Waving The Flag Of Surrender...

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 28 Aug 18

If it is not one thing then it is another. I feel like I need to be waving the flag of surrender already. We had a car alarm going off in our gated community every half an hour over night. Oddly enough, the ones who the car...

How Do You Live In The Day?

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 24 Aug 18

How do you switch off your thoughts? How do you pull your mind back from rushing into the future? We are supposed to live life a day at a time. I think that is how we are meant to keep our sanity. Lately my mind keeps rushing...
