Snippets of my life

6.15 wake ups are both harder and easier than I thought they would be but really I did not want to get up yesterday.

Ladies dinner night on Thursday night was a success and I hope we do it again. Such a lovely feeling to be surrounded by smart, beautiful women again laughing and chatting our way through wine and dinner. I love my man but I need my ladies. I’ve missed this in my life.

I have to wash my skirts after one days wear because Tess will insist on jumping up on me with muddy paws when I get home from work. She also licked my leg the other day and recoiled in horror at the taste of the DEET repellent on them. I had to laugh.

Visitors are both fantastic and tiring but I still want more. Come see me everyone!

I write posts in word in work when it’s quiet because I figure it makes me look busier.

I am amazed at my ability to not need food between 7 and 1. I used to get into work at 8.30/8.45 and go for lunch at 12.30 and be starving. The body will adapt.

I’m a little sad that I’ve stopped seeing the daily dirt and poverty. On the other hand it makes my drive to work more comfortable.

It’s starting to get warm enough that I don’t absolutely need the sheet in order to sleep at night with the fan on. I haven’t told James yet because I like that he thinks he needs to cuddle me occasionally to keep me warm.

When my commute goes well I marvel that I’m actually here, driving alongside the Indian Ocean. When it goes badly I stare at the ocean and wish I could go for a swim instead.

Friday evenings have started to bypass me because I’m so tired from a week in work. I’m a little upset. I enjoy the Friday evening wind-down and being asleep by 8 kind of knocks out the evening.

I’ve been promised the Twilight books by two different people and am a little bit intrigued. I’d like to see what the fuss is all about.
