The Old Tin Shed

Hey all; Sorry about the time between the last post and this one, but a lot has happened in my life not all of it fantastic but its happened anyway.  So lets get into the list. (1) My now ex and I split after 4 years, its been interesting to say the least, he has been immature in his actions and words.  I would like to stay friends but I see that as increasingly difficult to do.  I still have two computers out there which I hope to get next week all going well. The split was from both sides, we both saw it coming, just neither of us wanted to say it.  In the end it happened after he took the house key off my keys didnt tell me and left me locked out of the house in the heat.  I was coming down off the jagged pill so I let fly.  The straw that broke the camels back I suppose. As it sits we text every couple days, he has asked me to do things for him, and I have turned him down.  He is now seeing the true cost of me not being there.  I had t...

Hi all; This post has been a long time in coming, lots of things have changed in my life since I first wrote this blog and it has been a mish mash of different topics and things that were going on in my life.  Importantly it allowed me to share with others my journey with mental illness. To that end I feel the blog has been a success, although we haven't had many comments we have consistently had lots of readers.  For me its been fun, and at times a stress relief when things haven't been the greatest, my greatest satisfaction came from the fact I knew I was helping someone. Right now I have a ton on my plate, with school, having to shift and everything coming together at once.  I feel massively overloaded by it all, but realize that deep down this is what I wanted.  I don't want the chance to contemplate to much, I just want to do and get it done. Just over 3 weeks ago now I stopped the diet, when the stress o...

If your on the fence about gay marriage rights and you want to know how it all works, I suggest you watch this very personal, very painful experience.  Its very close to home for me, and I think anyone in any long term relationship should watch and take heed. Very brave and very moving please watch and feel free to comment here.  Either side I dont care, its a debate we need to have.

Hi all, been a little while since I posted and for that I do apologize.  However I have a great excuse. You see I moved house.  I wont say it was a pleasant experience, because it wasnt, it was down right horrible.  The move day was set weeks in advance we organized a truck and started packing.  There was a whole heap of drama around the house we were moving to but thats another post. So the big day arrives, up early get the truck go to the new house do final condition report, get to the old house around 11.30am.  It was HOT HOT HOT, the sun was fierce and it was humid as all hell.  Turns out over 30 people presented at the hospital with heat stress.  Was the hottest January day on record. So we decided to retreat into the house and the A/C and have a sleep till it cooled off a little. Was a great plan, but it didn't cool down, around 4.30pm we started moving all the heavy stuff, the next 13 hours are a blur I made 2 trips in the truck to the new...

Well its happening again. My partner and I have decide we are sick of being treated like we have leprosy by our land lords and sick of the unfulfilled promises.  We pay a fair amount of money for this house and we have been looking around and can get better for the same money. So come 12th Jan we will be off to somewhere new.  I am sick of moving to be honest have moved nearly every year since I have been in town.  I hate the stress the work and the weeks it takes to get life back to normal.  We have a place in mind to move to, a friend of my partners is moving overseas to be with her husband for a couple of years so they want to rent their place out.  We stuck our hands up and hope to sign contracts soon. I will be sad to leave this area its nice a quiet a place where the neighbors talk to you.  Not sure what it will be like where we are going.  One thing is for sure this will be our last move into a rental, next move I hope to be in our own place...
