I am grateful for small pleasures like cool changes in weather... catching Gene for a couple of minutes as he was leaving the house and I was just getting home from work... lactose free chocolate flavoured milk (yes I'm still excited about it)... and left over dinner that takes a mere three, no four, button presses to be ready to eat.
Today passed quickly and slowly at the same time. It was one of those I've-been-doing-things-all-day-but-don't-feel-like-I've-done-much kind of days. Possibly because it was mainly filled with much paperwork. Paperwork tracking other paperwork really. Gotta love the papertrails.
Currently I have the back door, bathroom and bedroom windows all open as wide as possible in an attempt to cool our house down. Nomes, if you felt like a roasting turkey over the weekend then you would have been right at home in our oven of a house! Let's just say the insulation isn't so good in our house so it's cool for a few days of heat but after that it just keeps getting hotter. So bring on that cool breeze and hopefully we can bring the temperature down enough that the 40 degree Thursday that's being predicted won't be so bad!
I'm typing between mouthfuls of a delicious cabonara (cream free for both Gene & my dining pleasure) that he made the other night. While enjoying my latest mouthful I realised that I won't actually be at home on Thursday (aside from the whole being at work for most of the day with the dying air conditioning) I'll actually be at my parents house. That's right, the house sitting time of year is coming in just one day. As much as the thought of the much longer commute is causing me small amounts of anxiety, I'm vaguely looking forward to it as some peace and quiet. Zeus and Clio (Mum's much adored pugs) have settled down greatly and are pretty self sufficient now they have a dog door. My folks have someone else on plant nourishment duty so that this time I don't have to worry about killing any plants. Not that I did last time... or at least not that I know of... hmmm...
Chinese New Year's Eve is this Saturday so Gene's heading back to Geelong. Actually he's heading back on Thursday to help his folks move house... so Nomes this is a good time to catch up... maybe Friday? As with everyone and planning at this stage in the lead up to the show I'll have to confirm later as I may be working late and may just want to curl up in a ball and fall asleep. It's a bit of a struggle staying awake past 22:00 at the moment.
Speaking of staying awake I have many more things to do before I turn into a pumpkin so in the immortal lyrics of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy...
So long. Farewell. Good night!
