I muse. Often. And while I was musing over my life-sustaining elixir this morning, I realized that 2025 has really been the year of 'car conversations' for me. For the uninitiated, a 'car conversation' is simply a conversation that you have had while in a car or while someone else is in a car and... Continue Reading →
Blast From the Past
TO is studying psychology in high school. I use the word studying very lightly. The mere thought of studying and revising before exams acts better than a sedative ever could. And while he is reportedly awake, alert and participating in class; he does a very thorough impression of someone suffering from amnesia whenever he's asked... Continue Reading →
Way To Be Literal
Last night my family and I sat down with a gift that TO's going to be giving it to a friend for her birthday. It's a fun game called Pun Intended. The way it works is this- there are flashcards with an image on one side. This image is meant to represent a phrase or... Continue Reading →
Of All The Weird…

The Beauty of Alone Time
I woke up earlier than expected today because somehow my daily wake-up alarm got set for Sunday as well...oh well, no matter. I did my Wordle (I lost). I pottered around the house (needs dusting). I brushed my teeth (need to order more toothpaste). I then made my way to the kitchen after collecting the... Continue Reading →
It’s a universal truth
the moment an adult goes to the loo, a child will need them for something. That something will be critical to the child for sure but not register at all on the adult scale for important things. My niece is spending a few hours with me and after Hangmaning, drawing and doing all the things... Continue Reading →
