cut off

When no email arrives when logging on
and none for a while after
there is a distinct feeling that arises in me
similar to the first few moments when discovering
the electricity has just been cut off...



Thank goodness for the Bloggs!...

...and someone has just turned the lights on! :) :)

temporary relief

Small temporary reprieve from a very uncomfortable
situation that has heavily plagued our home recently.

Dont know how long it will last
until heads are back in hell's bucket again
but for now i am very relieved...

little beauty

My little beauty has had many unsuccessful attempts
to produce an offspring during the last couple of years.

In the first year she produced 3 long thin shoots
but they soon dried out.
She tried again the next year with another 4
but they too did not last very long.

Since moving in our new home she has been happy
on the kitchen window seal bathed by the morning sun light
and watered daily from the rinsing sink kitchen bowl
which is obviously rich in live nutrients,
so a couple of months earlier, out of no where
and in the middle of the winter she surprised me
with a nice long white flower with light purple hue
and yellow pollen on its stem



but alas nothing came out of this either.

A few weeks earlier i noticed a small rice size
green bump in between her bottom outer leaves
which developed daily imperceptibly
into something that looks like a baby's new tooth.

Now though i can see the unmistakable shape of
a miniature little beauty looking exactly like her Mum!

Oh she looks so cute, that i giggle inwardly
every time i look at her.

So far she looks very healthy and very determined
and of course she has caused her mum to lean over so much
to the side to make space for her to grow
so that one day she will look exactly like her mum
only much younger and prettier!



Soon i shall have to find her a place of her own
where she will be able to display
her pretty little self in all its glory!

Her name is Druid

trapped

Small things in life can make me happy
very happy with just very small things



but right now some very bothersome events
are eating my brain like tumors
and they are here to stay for a while...

noisily peaceful weekend

Interesting mix of weekend paradoxically noisy yet quiet
both on the inside as well as the outside.



My horoscope for 2010 ...which i do not dare read yet!...
due to that Saturn sitting in there for the past 2 and a half years and another so much more to go yet
and feeling i ve had enough of its lessons and restrictions
for a life time so far and not looking forward to anymore of it
yet curious as to what the planetary influences will be ahead.

Then a good starting to what seems to be an absorbing
romantic novel which has been recently made into a film
and promising to keep me quiet and happily interested
and immersed in it during the next few weekends.

No need to say that due to it from the time i sat down
after doing all morning house chores
our weekend was very quiet in deed...
a) because it only takes to read for 15 minutes
before i fall asleep for one full hour or more
b) because when i am asleep Teddy also goes to sleep
and c)...during those 15 mins i manage to keep my eyes open
trying to start reading again, i am quiet due to reading
as well as due to the preparation of my brain ...
to depart once more for another trip to sleepland ...



Now if one was clever ...he would never let me be without books on any weekends what-so-ever!... hint! lol!...

Prior to sitting down of course our kitchen & loungeroom area resembled a tennis court as far as sounds went.

A lot of granting and groaning on my part like a tennis player
with every little effort trying to do anything that required the tiniest effort like lifting, opening, closing of small items
or bending even slightly forward to reach an item in a cupboard etc due to the extreme heat and consequent lack of oxygen and the resulting breathing difficulty.

The beginning of Spring and Summer is always hard
but eventually comes some reasonable adaptation
until then i will be grappling with lethal exhaustion.

So, all in all ...
a strangely noisy yet very quiet peaceful weekend
on one level, yet i m guessing each of us very noisy
and actively preoccupied
in the maniac brainiac recesses of our own minds.

still here

I am still here and no lobotomy anymore
but a bit tired and introspective.

Keep looking and you will see me popping up!

Re: Please don't laugh ...its Real!

I suppose after this time passed we can all laugh ...reluctantly.

As for the spellchecker i must remember
that some words are spelled similarly
and one misspelled may be another one correct
but the difference in meaning rather lethal, lol!

Talking about worms in the brain
oh that would be way more preferable today.
I have a blinding and nauseating lobotomy
so severe that it has employed diarrhea to its aid
to make its presence more punishing than ever...



I m on Panadol and it s the second day
and tomorrow it is a Very Important weekend!
so i can see me loading more of it just before bed time.

Hope to see you nice and bright!

Please don't laugh ...its Real!

Clearing my 'Sent' email folders recently
i discovered red faced and to my utter dismay
this precious gem that bypassed
both my attention as well as the spellchecker

weekend adventures

..........................









Quiet weekend at home as usual and better than expected.

Sunday i was accompanied to the Pool
for a surprise 'let's swim together' day.

All lanes taken on arrival and all empty when leaving, lol!
but we still managed to do a day's work.

I tried my hardest to impress him
with a near 50m non stop butterfly
but changed over to breast stroke for the last 4 strokes
so that i would not swallow a mouthful of backwater,
and to make it playfully sexy, instead of touching the wall
i gently wrapped my arms around him and whispered:

"Do you like caching ...Butterflies?"

to which he replied ...

" well that wasnt really a butterfly was it?"

I sighed and said "...yep!...sometimes its just a moth..."

Then we returned home somewhat refreshed
... just and only until breakfast,
when ...Teddy went to sleep... deep sleep
for a couple of hours and when i say a 'couple'
i will not qualify as to what i mean...

I sat next to him but so dead tired
that i could have melted easily
to a very flattish blob on the floor myself.

And that's the end of this exciting story...

Hey!...you are not allowed to yawn!... i can see you!

*************

tired

Tired and brooding all day...but still very productive.

Weekend has come around too soon this time
and i m not sure i m ready for it and what it may bring
in our supposedly but not always quiet little corner








****************

surprise

A pleasant little surprise.

I stepped on the scales this morning
and discovered a nice round extra little kilo in there!

I am now 46 kg

hopefully the beginning of recovering
some of the 7 kg i lost recently.

Daunting task at the moment
there is that much i can shove down in a day
but i will keep trying and hope to get back as close as possible









***********************

morning

Another sleepless night on the couch
less than two hours of sleep in all
and not all in one go












need to say more?...

humour classics

Feeling a bit tired and introspective today
i created a humour section below
to make up for those days that i may be absent.
......................

29 Sep 09

This i changed today to a humour classics label
where i will be transfering my favourite ones
to be stored for longer time.
The daily section is at the bottom of the posts
and will be updated and deleted more frequently.

"Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.

If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.

If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.

She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit."
