About me

Who am I?

A simple question at first glance, but one which turns out to be complicated. I am many things.

I am:

A silly git who won't grow up in spite of what the birth certificate says.

A single parent to a seriously spoiled cat. And a flock of chickens, though Ramses doesn't think they count.

A meat and gravy lover who needs to eat more fruit and veg.

A hoarder who is gradually working at becoming a recovering hoarder instead.

A desserterian who needs to be wary of the cake, dessert, and chocolate consumption.

A scatterbrained creative soul who has serious issues with getting things finished.

An unorganized perfectionist. We're working on that. Both the unorganized and the perfectionist.

A wannabe homesteader who is hoping to end up with lots of animals and a bountiful garden and be self-sufficient.

Someone who is still trying to get to grips with mental health issues and how to learn to work around them.

Someone who has had to settle down to living on a pension far, far earlier than expected, and who is determined to make the most of life in spite of the challenges.

A curious cat who wants to learn more about the world, the universe and all other things, and who gets frustrated and discouraged when the brain won't cooperate.

A collection of paradoxes such as jumping into the cyberworld of blogging and youtube in spite of being a self-proclaimed computer illiterate and semi-Luddite.

The proud owner of a huge collection of Lego, although due to hoarding related reasons, I can't actually enjoy them at the moment.

The happy owner of a smallish library but in much the same position as the Lego.



Everything I write about and the places I describe are real. However, I am writing under a pen name for safety reasons. While I have yet to experience bad things because of my diagnosis, I live in a very small community. The stigma which surrounds my illness, and I will be getting rather open and personal at times, means I prefer to have the extra protection by not posting my real name. The people who might be able to recognize me, are the people who already know me enough. I may choose to reveal myself to you later, but it will be entirely at my discretion. I hope you can understand my situation.
