Month: October 2013

adventuring – Hobart penitentiary chapel

While I’m on leave, Monday is my day for adventures. I take Juniordwarf to school and then I have the whole day in Hobart to explore while I wait to pick him up at the end of the day. The first week I went to the Tasmanian Museum and...

taking back control

I had a crappy day today. Probably worthy of a FFS Friday post. I moped around a lot while the following conversation played itself out in my head. Me: Everything sucks. I’ve been on leave for more than two weeks and I haven’t done anything I wanted to do....
