24.01.2022 Is Botox part of a systemic problem encouraging the horrifying premise that youth defines women’s beauty? Why do women want to eradicate signs of life and wisdom from their faces? Why do we all have to masquerade as girls in order to be loved and taken seriously in the world? When men age, they are said to become more handsome and suave. Let a woman age, and we are called haggard and ugly. I am so tired of people telling me I look tired or grumpy when in fact is simply my RBF..., the crumpled droopy look of a 50plus something woman. On the other hand, we wear make-up, get make-up tattooed onto our faces, spend a small fortune on lotions, potions, food and exercise to stave off ageing. Is Botox just a small extension of this taking care of your appearance? Or is it grooming gone too far? Sadly, with two sons financially dependent on me, I can’t justify the $1000 a year to maintain such a fancy beauty routine, just the same as I don’t get microderm abrasions or have expensive haircuts. I’d like to say I am proud of these wrinkles and grey hair because I’ve earned them, but nahtoo vain!! SO I am clearly bound for irrelevancy, invisibility, discrimination. Oh, give me the courage to be loyal to the face I have given myself. Note to self: this is a white middle-aged, wealthy-ish white women dilemma. See more

14.01.2022 Feeling trapped in this big island. no flights to visit parents overseas....so walked off my panic.

13.01.2022 Enough with the Karen stuff now - I have Karen friends and it feels mean. I, however, am a Monica. Thank you right there to Ms Lewinsky - trashed MY name, didn't she! Think of other names that have been trashed. Daisy (de Melke), Donald (Duck/Trump), Adolf, Jeremiah (was a bullfrog)....feel free to add to the list.

11.01.2022 I planned an outing with one of my teen sons this Sunday...but turns out he didn't want to spend time with his boring old mum outdoors when he could lie on his bed on his phone for yet another day...so I phoned my beautiful friend Lilian and she spent the day roaming markets in Redcliffe with me instead.

02.01.2022 My teens are sitting in their rooms watching banal shite on their phones and their clever brains are dying ....so I am leaving them messages...
