I went ice skating last night! Of course I fell on my patella. <pout>. I did also manage to stand upright and skate along at several points. Yay! If you like the hot hot hot look of a terrified rabbit in a spotlight, then Anna skating was “Sex on Ice”.
I didn’t manage to make it [...]

This is what I heard this morning. “You think you can do anything you like because you are a woman and you are weak”. A pithy summary of the state of play between Kal and I. He can do what he wants because I am staying at his house, and he thinks I can do what [...]

I’m free! Kalypso and I have forged a truce: we are not partners; I need to move out as soon as possible; and we can’t take each other for granted. Other than that, though, we’re being able to more relaxed, be fun with each other, offer comfort and understanding without strings.
He still peels mango for [...]

Ok, so this mate of mine is trying to contact me… and for some reason I don’t want him to. Its really not fair or reasonable. I will get into contact, and override this feeling of repulsion, this feeling of wanting to let everyone just slip away from me.
But this is how it happens.
I told [...]

I’ve always got by on the minimum support network possible. But now, its becoming less and less viable.
I’ve been reading this book, Bipolar and Pregnant, by Kristin Finn. She lives in a stable middle class marriage where she doesn’t need to work (her husband earns enough for both). Her mother was a nurse. She goes [...]

I didn’t get to sleep last night until about 1.30am. I also didn’t eat dinner. I just wasn’t hungry, and I just wasn’t tired. I am both now however. I think it has a lot to do with Melbourne cup yesterday (Kal and I both picked the same horse at random, and that horse was [...]

After a long chat / phone argument about why I am a bad cat mother, I needed space.
Space. I don’t wanna keep feeling like I owe you, Kate. I don’t wanna keep feeling like I am making it up to you, like I am forever running behind, and like I am a charity case that [...]

I had a bit of a meltdown yesterday. I’m under a bit of pressure from various sources and for various reasons.
I turned off my phone in the middle of the day. But my mum started with some complaints about my hair and I fucking lost it. Arrrrrrrrgh!
Today I’m getting over it because I spent the [...]

I’m scanning RW’s blog for clues as to what I’m doing wrong… and can find none. Other than that she no longer lists me as a friend. No biggie. Probably not significant. Right?
I’m sure I’ve done something, but she’s not talking. I’m not guessing. Thus we find ourselves at an impasse. A polite impasse, but [...]

Is it just me, or is there friction between RW and I?
I hardly have seen her lately, and our interactions have been curt. Our emails are reeking of hostility…though that could just be me and my paranoia.
