My latest blog piece. It's been awhile since I've written, but here it is. The truth of today.

"How did I get to this point?

Being a long-term, 24/7 carer and then having it end at the passing of my precious son was like being dropped off a cliff’s edge in countless ways. Emotionally, physically, financially, spiritually. And as I hit the bottom of the abyss after being dropped off of that cliff’s edge high above, I shattered. I’ve scrambled to pick up all of the shards around me – those pieces of myself now broken – but it’s as if I can’t remember how they all fit back together. In fact, I’m not sure they ever will again because there are simply pieces missing now."

I am actually afraid of our health system. Afraid.

And by the way, this whole 'tea and toast' thing needs to get in the bin. No nutritional value at all. How about feeding patients healthy food? It's 2026.

Elderly woman left to feed herself while lying down as hospital patients go hungry and thirsty, #Hiqa told
✍️Ken Foxe

Hospital patients were given only tea and toast over a period of 24 hours, and had meals taken away untouched because nobody helped them eat, according to complaints submitted to the Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa).

Visitors to one patient said her food trays were often left untouched and she appeared very thirsty. They feared nobody was monitoring her food or fluid intake or encouraging her to eat, “even though her recovery requires good nutrition”.

Tonight's harvest moon as seen from County Wexford, Ireland. Just think of all the people looking up at it at the very same moment around the world. It's something to ponder, isn't it? 🌕

Tonight, the first full moon of autumn rises. September’s full moon is the Harvest Moon, named because it falls closest to the autumn equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.

For generations, its light helped farmers harvest after sunset.

Trump: "Super Intelligence -- SI -- I don't call it AI anymore. I call it SI because it's a much better name. It's a much more accurate name, because when you say the other, that means it's fake. 'Artificial' means it's fake, and it's not fake. It's just very strong intelligence ... it's much more elegant."

@elusive_moose Yes, it definitely can be. You have to get involved with your local community or you likely won't make many friends.

@HangBlaa 🤣 Not sure who they want when they are talking about TikTok and Instagram when their clientele are VIP wealthy.

One of the job opening notices I just received. Not for me, but am curious enough to share. I had no idea that there was such a thing as a service for 'VIP Immigration for High Net-worth individuals'. 🤷‍♀️ And while I am an immigrant I doubt they'd want me as the face of anything 🤣
