Author: deehobbit
This blog has eclipsed my non-sweary blog: deehobbit.com. There's a lot of shady and difficult shit I feel the need to share, and this is the place I share it. Life isn't a highlights reel. Life is painful, and chaotic, and full of changes, disappointments and sometimes it is full of joy and magic. This is where I go to vent. I make no apologies for the grittiness of the content.
Bashing the Blues in the Beautiful NZ Bush
January 24, 2019
The Sunday before last, we got kidnapped. It was perfection. Emily, or Aunty Emily as she is known to the four Hobbit children is here in Auckland for work from Christchurch. It’s been months since we have seen her, and she called me a few days ago and suggested the abduction without actually telling me … More Bashing the Blues in the Beautiful NZ Bush
Happy at Home
January 12, 2019
To say it is nice to be in bed with my beautiful boys (eldest and youngest) watching the Watership Down reboot with the four year old tattooed to me, his head on my chest so he can hear me breathing and his tiny hand resting on my neck as he has done since he was … More Happy at Home
A Little Break
December 6, 2018
I need to start by saying there is no such thing as a wonder woman. Juggling work, life, social, family, romantic, personal, medical, emotional, and general responsibilities is enough to drive anyone around the bend. I’ve had something to prove for a long time. I’ve tried too hard, been too much, and lived a life of … More A Little Break
The World is Watching
November 3, 2018
It is mere hours from the polls opening in the USA for what may be the most important midterm elections of modern times. The balance of power, international relations, and the current tone toward and treatment of many people within and neighbouring the USA is not only confounding but frequently very frightening. The political system … More The World is Watching
Phteven’s Phorty Phird Birphday
October 9, 2018
43 Things On the surface, my husband and I are night and day. He is as quiet and calm, as I am boisterous and gregarious. But 17 years with this incredible, complicated, kind, quirky man have taught me countless lessons, and showed me in a multitude of ways, the kind of person I aspire to … More Phteven’s Phorty Phird Birphday
Dee on Leadership
August 27, 2018
I am heading down to Queenstown on Wednesday to catch up with two of the many Goddesses I have been lucky to meet since starting the ChargeNet journey toward energy independence for New Zealand. It hasn’t been a cake walk. Hours are long, stress can run pretty high, and the high stakes and tight deadlines … More Dee on Leadership
Value
August 11, 2018
The theme for today, was the value we place in things. Definition: It isn’t a secret, that I am no fan of money – it hurts me every single day that contributions that people make with the work they do or the time they spend seems to often not equal monetary gain. Nurses, doctors, scholars … More Value
Sunset is Setting on Singapore and a Study Tour
June 8, 2018
I am in the lounge, heading home to my beautiful babies and my soul mate Phteven, with his superman curl, that falls to the right side of his forehead, and bobs just above his bushy-but-beautiful eyebrow. Suffice to say I miss my tribe. Not just Phteve and the kids, I miss my people. I have … More Sunset is Setting on Singapore and a Study Tour
Restless Last Night, Ready to Fight.
January 16, 2018
I didn’t sleep much at all last night. Something about the wind makes me uneasy. Add to that, a very fraught day, letting go of some things that are simply too heavy to hold, an ethics paper to research, and more work sprawled out before me than I could ever hope to start, let alone … More Restless Last Night, Ready to Fight.
