there and back again

HAVE been away for a few days. I met up with a friend in the city.. for dinner.. went to Ants Bistro.. i ordered chili and ginger chicken. Very spicy, i started with tears down my cheeks. I had to eat nearly the whole plate full. I hadnt eaten since 2ish though so i was famished. Went back to her house and sat around watching sex and the city.Something ive never really seen before.

So the next day we were up early and went and picked up her friends dog. Its a beautiful dog though. Went to the beach..it was so damned windy..i had thermals in my bag too. We had a picnic over looking the ocean,.. had fresh fruit..blueberries, strawberries and smoked cheese (oh i love it so) .. some water. It was lovely.
I sat in the car for a bit.. drawing whilst the dog had another run along the beach.

Took sunshine (the dogs name) back to Justynas friends place.. sat around there just chatting for an hour or so.. its a beautiful house and 3 dogs they have got. The 3 dogs were so cute. Then zoomed off to see Paul and Lucy for a bbq. that was lovely. Sitting around chatting for a few hours.

So that was a great weekend. I came home on the train... a group of very chatty teenagers were there... chirpy chirpy chirpy. I juswt buried myself in a Haruki Murakami novel. It passed the 2hrs home. I am still reading it. Ive been inspired to start drawing again. I came to a few realisations..this weekend. Some i wil discuss with Alison on friday.


You know if its one thing.. i feel refreshed and renewed im glad i forced myself to go. Anyhow.. its back to these invites now.. which i wil breath and live for this week. sheessshhies.

anyhow.. just thought i'd pop a note or two on here.

ive been inspired to write again.. so ive just got two more letters to pen pals.

take care out there

Letters

I have 3 letters to reply to only i don't really feel like replying to them all. I will. Ill start with the one that came to me first..which is my German pen pal. The one who put tea bags into her letter and they were confiscated by customs! OOoops a daisy.
Oh well. Im not paying $42 to send them back to her either! They can just be destroyed.

I am very angry with this one company that took my money and have not bothered to reply to my email. ..who owe me all my craft things i ordered. I will be making a very angry phone call later.

I went back to sleep at 9ish today and woke up at 12ish... so lazy, I didnt expect to sleep 3hrs though. I knew i was tired but not that tired. Well dad is doing my chores..ive only hung out the washing. I spoke briefly to my friend who was on her lunch break.

Well I better get going now. Might watch a movie or something.

after a storm

After a storm they always say there is calm. Perhaps so. Perhaps not. There is shelter. I guess. I have been dreaming but not remembering one little bit of them. I have also been a bit down, think its just family things. That has been the storm.

Where to take refuge? Where to hide? You can only hide for so long before becoming a hermit. So i took refuge in retail therapy. Today it was plants and christmas presents.
Yes christmas.. can't avoid it. So i have about half my list done.

Its a matter of posting it all around the world. Any how.. its time for me to write some letters..i have many to reply to.

out

Forced myself out of the house. Went down the road and got some paper for louises invites. To finish them off. Mum will try this pink outfit on tomorrow..its a pale colour. I don't know if it will suit her but there is only one way to find out.

I only have about a very small amount in my account. Its looking pretty anemic. I have gotten a few letters but I have not responded yet..waiting for the right day. The right time. Well if there ever is a right time at the moment.

Im not happy jan...as that old ad goes. I have been drawing for a bit today, its good that its a friday. I'm glad. Welpers must go now.. sleep calls me.

darker grows the day

Darker grows the day. I am feeling very blue. Family things that have been happening, its been a bit of a shit year really. I don't know what to do, where to put myself or anything. Im at a loss.

Darker is the day,

write more when i'm feeling a little less flat.

ergh

What a bummed out day I am having. I didnt want louise to go home...I just wanted her to stay. She needs a stack of TLC. I have time to listen and listen. Im not sure..i feel a little helpless at the moment. Its not a great feeling at all. I want to be in a few places at once

Im not sure what i should do. Anyhow.. i know i can be here. I now have 30 more invites to make.

well better go now

agh

Its that agh feeling again. This week has not gone very well at all, started out ok and ive never known me to be this down. Suppose its just a bit of everything.. I must admit though i took comfort in possibly the fattiest thing on the menu which was satay chicken noodles. I didnt care.. i devoured most of it!

My family are all going out to lunch. I might just either join them or eat leftovers from last nights tea. I don't feel like forcing myself out. So home again, i have a dvd to watch so its not so bad.


Anyhow.. better go.
