Oh how I love thee, Saturday
Despite feeling like something died in my mouth ( I was feeling particularly hung), I got up and sauntered to breakfast at Beess just around the corner. Great company and yummy breaky.
Saturday morning ritual includes doing the quiz in the Good Weekend. Record high score of 15!!! So impressed and its what keeps my heart pounding.
Then off for catch ups with Miss M and Mr O. Chats to the chicken man, pats of the chickens, chilling by the lake, yummy lunch. Then home for chill out on the couch times. Oh my, I love unwinding. Its been ages since I sat still like that and it was heaven.
So much so that I was debating whether to get out of my pyjamas to make it to the IGA before they closed at 8pm. I didn't. I thought I'd chance running to the IGA in my pjs and wouldn't see anyone. And wouldn't you know it, I ran into 2 people I know! eeek. Always the way. But golly - I loooove pyjamas.

Wow
So. My quiet Friday night in did NOT go according to plans. but instead lead to fun times and frequentation [yes.i know its not a word] of some places that took me back to my uni days. Fun times. Fun times.
The highlights would have to be the super cute boy busting all the moves to 'all the single ladies', phone calls to shakira-loving buddies to tell them shakira was playing, messages to buddies to tell them all the single ladies was playing, and to Miss R to tell her 'boom boom boom (boong)' was on and I missed her. (Yes - I DO love to let my pals know when I'm out having beers because at the time it seems like the BEST time to call or message. Hmmm, sure they don't always appreciate it ;) Funny chats with randoms from West Wyalong, and Mr D saying he should patent the term 'smice' or small ice, so it can fit in his esky invention.
It.was.great.

Friday morning
This morning has been blissful. I slept in (7:15am!!). I walked to the cafe near work (cafe latte and turkish toast with vege - the BEST) and had chuckles with two of my bosses who were there. This was nice - they are generally known to be rude/shy/ignore-you-in-public-or-don't-acknowledge-your-existence types, so the 'hello' and jokes were warmly welcome.
I walked back in the sunshine musing about upcoming mini-adventures and tee-d up some catch ups with my oldest friend, Miss S. We have known each other since kindy and from time to time we re-connect. I'm excited about seeing her on an upcoming trip to Brisbane.
I'm looking forward to a quiet night in tonight - with my fave big sissa.

Thursday night - date night
Tonight I had a date with a lovely gal pal. She is so much fun and always has her shit together.
Lunch involved catchups with my awesome buddy who is out from the uk for a wedding. She is such a busy lady that I had to be allocated a time slot ;) hehe. K, you're a funny lady.
Last night was dinner with s&p. Always greathang0uts. Highlight was P licking her wine glass mid story.
Tuesday night was meeting with the gals for malaysian. It involved telling 'the story' again. and explaining 'what now'. and missed phone calls from concerned pals who had only just heard. Sad times. The big girl puppy came over for sleep overs and walks.
Monday night was turkish with the cutest kids going around and catch ups with their awesome parents.
So basically - this week has been an eat-fest, talk-fest, and socialise-fest.
Sometimes I wish it could be a sleep-fest - Accompanied by lots of cuddles.

Monday musings...
Virginia Woolf '...I hope you will possess yourselves of money enough to travel and to idle, to contemplate the future or the past of the world, to dream over books and loiter at street corners and let the line of thought dip deep into the stream'.

January - Last days...
Moving out...
The puppy and The Boy's glassworks bird
After sleeping in the car with rain on the roof and being woken up by midnight fishermen
Choc mint icecream before the rain set in
Spontaneous trips to the coast and camping in the car in the rain.
That's what best buds are for
Extract from email exchange this morning which made me think I'm so lucky to have amazing pals.
Her: How you?
Me: I walked to work.
Ran in to a friend from uni randomly.
She asked about The Boy.
I cried.
Feel like shit.
Got to work.
Shit colleagues having a whinge.
Trying to figure out if anyone wants to come to Cambodia with me in April.
Trying desperately not to call The Boy.
Trying to plan my life without The Boy.
Getting sad again.
F*ck, f*ck, f*ck.

Her: It is ok. It is exciting. You are a free agent and can do ANYTHING that YOU want. LOVE IT. You don’t have to worry about other people! A new door has just opened and in the next room is an awesome place, unknown but awesome. It will take some time to not want to call him....and not think about planning stuff together, but it will come. I love you and know that once the dust has settles, you will create an amazing life for yourself. I am dreaming that you marry some French billionaire, settle in Monaco and end up as a freelance photographer..... Thoughts?
Me: My thoughts are that you.are.awesome! x
Her: No, I think you missed the message....YOU ARE AWESOME.
Her: How you?

Now is the time - Jefferson Airplane
Desire, the feeling so clear
It sings in everything you hear
Desire, the feeling you never lose
It's always something new
And it's waiting for you to follow through
We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance
Now is the time, the time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine
Desire follows and leads the way
Like night follows day
Desire, it's right before your eyes
No questions no surprise
It's been waiting so long for you to decide
We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance
Now is the time, time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine
All the fantasies we keep inside
We'd love to live it but we don't know how
Too late for yesterday, too early for tomorrow
That means it's gotta be now
We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance
Now is the time, time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine
This is the song, now is the time
Alone the love is gone, together it's yours and mine
This is the night, this is the song
Feel the love again it's where we belong
It sings in everything you hear
Desire, the feeling you never lose
It's always something new
And it's waiting for you to follow through
We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance
Now is the time, the time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine
Desire follows and leads the way
Like night follows day
Desire, it's right before your eyes
No questions no surprise
It's been waiting so long for you to decide
We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance
Now is the time, time is right

Feel the love again it's where we belong
