• Another sort of morning

  
  — Authority:
  I wouldnt want you to think that a nurses life is all about early mornings .  I am working Long Day shifts at the moment, which are from 7:30am to 8:30pm (or 8pm to 8am if it is a night shift).  They are certainly long, tough shifts, with a very early start - but I only have to work three shifts most weeks, so I ...

• bright colors on an (emotionally) stormy weekend [photo post]

  
  — Authority:
  My maternal grandmother, Marilyn Coe Ross, died this past Saturday. It was both not unexpected and terribly sudden. Her health had been fragile for a number of years -- just enough time for us all to get used to the fact that her health was fragile  and yet she remained with us, in a kind of fragile stasis. It ...

• Our feminist foremothers didn’t fight for your right to enjoy your life.

  
  — Authority:
  Apparently they were fighting for… the obligation for you to feel guilty about having a life you like? The need to be told you’re selfish, shallow and immature for concluding that children are expensive, you don’t feel any strong pull to have them, and you prefer to use your disposable income to do the things ...

  — Authority:
  Over at the Guardian, I’m writing about the new stat that 40% of breadwinners in American families are women . With women making up half the workforce, it shouldn’t be a surprise that we’re an increasing proportion of primary earners. But the 40% stat doesn’t tell the whole story. For starters, the majority ...

  Packing and paperwork become a priority from today. We leave on Sunday for the UK, and all the paperwork is being double checked and then checked again.

• Made ice cream for the first time!

  
  — Authority:
  One of my husband’s clients gave us a Nostalgia Electrics Old Fashioned Ice Cream Maker * a long time ago. I looked at it, stuck the big box in a closet, and didn’t think of it again until we cleaned out said closet last weekend. The girls begged me for ice cream. Begged . “I’ll think about it,” I said. ...

• Final checks and formatting

  
  — Authority:
  Have got to the point with ‘Falling’ where I’m happy to release the rewritten content into the wild as an eBook. I’ve been holding back in case I get one of those ‘Distribution rejection’ e-mails from the previous volume. Reformatting is time consuming, and trying to weasel out the reason for the ...

• Meet Our New Family Members: Spaghetti & Meatball

  
  — Authority:
  It’s been over a year since our beloved cat, Charlie, passed away. Since then, the house has definitely felt not quite right. No one runs to the door to greet us when we come home, no one walks on my head in the middle of the night, no one speaks a language comprised of tail [...]

• On Not Spoiling the Broth

  
  — Authority:
  Every time I turn around, some new authority is howling about how everything that’s wrong with our society — namely, obesity and fraying families — is because nobody cooks any longer.
