The Watch
She’s the watch at home – keeps an eye on the maid who won’t work well on her own no matter how high she’s paid 😀
A Lovely Silence
I’ve found a lovely silence after so many years
it feels nice to return to the way things were…
Solutions – My Friend Temper
Exploring Patriarchy Chapter 28 – Temper. My Friend. You keep me safe when the load gets too heavy and they won’t give me a break.
Speaking out calmly and assertively when there’s pushback is always a risk. Now, it was a risk she was willing to take. A risk she was angry enough to take.
