A living nightmare and scary movies

Last week was a nightmare. Both Georgie and I were incredibly sick, wiped out by the nastiest of viruses. His version included high temperatures and unbearable headaches. Mine, two jabs in the butt, an MRI and a truly unimaginable amount of painkillers and other multi-coloured pills.

Yesterday Georgie went back to school where he was welcomed by a round of applause from his mates and teachers (so sweet) and I am back to blogging. Unfortunately, my inspiration has been crushed by the weight of pharmaceuticals so for now all I have for you are four not-so-happy movies I watched while contemplating the bed or the couch. Thy are all, in one way or another, scary, disturbing, real and painful.

An interview with Georgie

When I worked as a feature writer for a newspaper, interviewing people was part of the job and I loved it. I found the task and liberty of asking people anything absolutely exhilarating. Every interview, I felt, opened my mind up to unchartered territories and new information despite experiencing my fair share of wonderfully weird and profoundly boring moments.

Because I’m scared I might forget

I have a diary I plan to give to Georgie when he’s older. I’ve had it since I was pregnant. In the beginning I would write about doctor appointments and various stuff papa and I would do before he came into our lives. Later on I would write about his baby ways and the many sleepless nights. However lately I have not written anything. I felt a pang of anxiety recently when I tried to remember something Georgie said that made me laugh and I couldn’t. Why didn’t I write it down just like I do with everything else? So these little notes are for me and my baby because I’m scared I might forget.
