Just discovered my electorate catchment has changed. Researching my current state representative, found they defected to One Nation from the labor party this year. Yuck. I look forward to help voting them out.

I almost missed school pick up today because I was too engrossed in plotting out my new writing project Huzzah! A got a square on my author bingo card! What else is on the author bingo card?

Just shrieked and frightened my family while watching the The CBCA children’s book of the year notable announcement. Neridah and I nominated for Evie and Rhino!! Holy bananas! Walker Books Australia Victory lap around the lounge room 🏅

Sooooo there is no Australian Labor candidate for Bankstown in the NSW election, now? Wow. What a cluster fluff. You’re going to lose one of the safest seats 🤦🏼‍♀️ I just can’t.

I’ve got until 2pm to finish all my work, finish writing high school applications and get a couple of books off to press. So I can then pick up the kid, pack multiple suitcases and turn my out of office on. Sure, I can do that? Oh yeah and throw in procrastinating twitter time ..
