the joy of officially adopted teddies...

Adoption can have its joys...
Teddies officially adopted and loved alongside the adopted boy...
A priceless gesture by the WA Family Court... https://t.co/mrNYfgGxeW

PASSING THOUGHT:
I'm well on the way to a frugal life...
And yet I see happiness ahead...

youth and scars...

Juggling shit this week, so need a holiday, counting days til I can get up into the hot sunshine into crocodile country..
Besides delivering steel today I have to find time to buy new shorts and getting all my botox and filler done this week.

My youth has long fled on the outside...Tragedies leave scars... But the scars are only on the surface... There's lots of youthful bite+grunt underneath...I'm preserving that... Packing multiple boxes for moving sustains that attitude...Wish my bank account looked more healthy...

Love the balance... Preserving all that you are...

'The King and I' post box packing...

PASSING THOUGHT: Feeling a bit stuffed after packing 4 boxes this morning...
Came here, when the wonderful music from 'The King and I' began on 3MBS radio...
The romantic in me soared...
Dreaming away...

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) February 20, 2022

I thought (hoped) coffee would help, but clearly 'The King and I' added some extra punch... 

let the games begin...

PASSING THOUGHT:
Enough Twitter frivolity...
The time has come (25minutes ago)...
Let the box packing games begin...
I can't wait...
For it all to end...
