Finally Coffee; Saturday, 21st September 2019

Dear Journal, The gentle snoring of the kids in the tent, memories. The bush? Our lounge room. First it was marshmallows over the fire pit follows by a BBQ dinner. Snuck out to Micky D's for desserts. Empty cups and pies cases on the coffee table. The taste of "finally coffee" lingers. We watched Disney's … Continue reading Finally Coffee; Saturday, 21st September 2019

December 21, 2018 Ivan Siladji Journal

Friday, 21st December 2018

Dear Journal, Today started off incredibly intense. I'm fortunate I had time off to recover from burnout previously because I needed the energy to overcome the challenges of making such hard choices today. But people matter. I'm nearly at 20,000 words done on my manuscript. I'm so proud. It's so enjoyable writing this memoir and … Continue reading Friday, 21st December 2018

Sunday, 18th November 2018

Dear Journal, Mind blown - it's the 18th already! It also marks the last day of my parental leave. I'm feeling really good about it all. I've had an absolute blast lately. So much joy in my life with Everly being born. I'm feeling refreshed for work, albeit tired from broken sleep, but that's to … Continue reading Sunday, 18th November 2018

Tuesday, 13th November 2018

Dear Journal, I can't put my finger on it. Something just feels a little odd lately, I think it's a combination of being tired, being immersed in writing, close to being back at work and never being 100% relaxed leaves me feeling somewhat itchy in my skin. It's an unusual feeling. I think it time … Continue reading Tuesday, 13th November 2018

Monday, 12th November 2018

Dear Journal, Yesterday was my most favourite day with Everly, I literally caught myself falling deep in love with her, in real time. She's just so perfect. Its my last week off this week. Still spending a good couple of hours of a weekday morning writing my manuscript. I could do it all day if … Continue reading Monday, 12th November 2018

Saturday, 10th November 2018

Dear Journal, I didn't really like Monopoly growing up. I mean, I liked the idea of playing it, but then when we actually started the game I quickly got bored of it. Today however I managed to pick up a DC Comics version with the usual characters, Superman, Batman, The Flash, Wonder Woman - it … Continue reading Saturday, 10th November 2018

Friday, 9th November 2018

Dear Journal, I'm addicted. Officially, addicted to writing. It's becoming a daily habbit where I make my visit to the café, iPad in hand and just write. And I'm loving it. Without resistance the words just flow lately and it's fullfilling. On so many levels. The creativity, the reflection, the nostalgia, the relaxation, the therapy. … Continue reading Friday, 9th November 2018

Saturday, 3rd November 2018

Dear Journal, Spent most of the day indoors today, out of the ever increasing Sydney temperatures. Not even summer yet and yesterday was a vulgar 40°C, with today around 31°C. And to think we will peak at around 47°C soon enough. Save me! Little Everly Primrose is a little clingy to Mumma lately. She loves … Continue reading Saturday, 3rd November 2018

Thursday, 1st November 2018

Dear Journal, I'm getting awfully good at these spring time BBQs. Sweet Baby Rays Buffalo Wing Sauce on the chicken went down like a treat this afternoon. A Christmas Ginger Bread Man awaits for desert. Little Everly is sleeping longer through the nights lately. A little unsettled today but all the more sweet. She likes … Continue reading Thursday, 1st November 2018

Friday, 26th October 2018

Dear Journal (and blogtober readers), Sleep, yeah, about that. A little out as expected. A special little someones birthday today; happy birthday 'Batman'. BBQ for dinner awaits. It's going to be a nice celebration. I tried a decaf latte from a cafe near us today that I was yet to try, was real nice. Still … Continue reading Friday, 26th October 2018
