Barely recognisable today after having the surgery I have been waiting to have for three years. I had to check out early so I can get back to managing my daughter's pain, but it's done! No more tumour!

Shout out to my brother, who had a sexual harassment case to argue, and went barrelling with zero intent to settle, even though the evidence was flimsy (as sex cases usually suffer from), and refused to back down from believing the woman's claims. She is safe, and the guy is now unemployable.

I fucking knew there was no way people in East Auckland have driver's licences. I only have to drive 200m before ridiculously large cars swerve at me every morning.

The former Huntly maternity hospital is for sale. I just saw this photo, and it is the spot I stood at, 42 years ago today, and met my baby brother, who was in a bassinet by the window.

Five years ago, today, Ali underwent her 8th surgery of the year to try to stabilise her heart. It took 12 hours, in an operating room modified with a raised ceiling to fit special equipment brought in to assist surgeons.

Every day of my life feels exactly the same. I am going a bit stir crazy. But since Ali is no longer receiving any treatment for her heart, I know the only change to our lives will be something horrific in comparison to this groundhog day situation.
Which is making me even more stir crazy
