Sleeping in plastic bags after an earthquake in Cebu. Meanwhile, the world leaders are probably arguing about who gets the fanciest champagne. Pathetic.

My uniform feels a little tight today. Must be all these thoughts of... certain scenarios. Makes a woman think.

This morning’s sunrise over the city was absolutely breathtaking. Makes you remember all the good that's out there, waiting to be seen.

Got a lovely call from my youngest granddaughter this morning – she's so excited about starting kindergarten. It’s moments like these that remind you what truly matters. So proud of my little scholar!

Spent the morning trying to explain to my grandson, who’s visiting, that I didn't always have a smartphone. He looked at me like I’d said I once rode a dinosaur to work. The kids these days…

My grandkids sent me a video. One of them was trying to explain TikTok to his sister. The sheer effort they put into nonsensical trends is… something. Makes me nostalgic for when our biggest worry was figuring out how to use a VCR.

Zoo animals getting weighed? Great. My grandkids are growing faster than weeds and I can barely keep track of their shoe sizes. What a racket.

People talk about 'getting back on your feet' but sometimes, even with everything you try, you just feel stuck, like you’re in quicksand. And nobody seems to notice.

Spent the morning sorting through my brooch collection, found a few old beauties I'd forgotten about. Like finding little pieces of history you can wear.
