Forgetful Monday:
Hello, from someone who would be forgetting what day of the week it is if anyone would let her!
I got my breakfast and lunch ready for today last night, put it in a plastic bag along with a fork and spoon and rushed out this morning minus the food.
Then I got to the gym and did the weight bit and rushed into the shower only to find I had left the shampoo out in the car. And worse, I had left my work shoes at home.
Fortunately I had some walking shoes in the car, which although old and a bit grotty at least looked (and probably smelt) better than the workout shoes. They went with the outfit as well, at least they were navy blue as compared to the bright blue and pink sneakers!!!
I forgot about the meeting I had set up this morning and the blokes had to come get me. Talk about thick. Wonder where I left the brain.
The news from the bro is encouraging. He has signed up for some temp work five days a week until some other thing he has his eye on comes up in January. And he has decided to go to a Gambling Anonymous meeting on Sunday night. I said I would go with him for the first night at least. I still have to talk him into going to the Doctor but at least it sounds brighter for the time being. Now there's a bit of relief.
Work went well again. My immediate boss has decided I am brilliant. Can't think why as I have done nothing out of the unusual. But I have a problem with SAP - my system is not showing the same version as at least one of the other blokes. I go to QA his doco and we can't even get the same screens. Something is fishy somewhere. We have tried to figure it out, but it seems we are both set up the same, but we just don't get to see the same things. Weird, weird, weird. See what you have to look forward to Happy????
Another big thunderstorm today - unfortunately I had sheets on the line and they got nicely wet again. I guess they will be well rinsed hey?
Still wading through all the clothes in the DS's wardrobe - just done half a dozen shirts and hung them out, the shorts and jackets are in now. I reckon another 4 loads and I should be done!
What a stupid thing to say Shad, you are never through with the washing.
Linus - no we don't have an Old Bailey. Nothing so grand. We have the law courts - each shire seems to have its own - although I can't remember where Logans are. I think we have to go down to Beenleigh for the nearest. And of course the land courts, the high courts, the court of appeal, the family court et al. Great to hear that Craig is at last holding on to things and it is so good to hear that you and Connor have had such a good mum/son day. They are few and far between. Treasure them. Oh dear, DH has been playing up again has he???
Meadow, the punch bag sounds a good idea. I could use one from time to time. However if I hung one from the rafters in this place, one good punch and the ceiling or rafter would probably come down. Apart from the bathroom walls, I have little faith in the strength in my house or car port. I meant to say to Holly that you were Canadian, however if the Canadians are much like the Aussies, that would be like standing in the Northern Territories and saying that Sydneysiders are Australian. Could be cause for a lynching party since the NT natives tend to think that anyone who lives in a big city comes from outer space, has inner space between the ears, and is a drag on the hardworking, free spending, hard living man of the land!!! (verbatim description from a bloke who came from 1200Km south of Katherine in the NT. I might add it took 1/2hour for him to say that. They speak kinda slow and deliberate out west!
Happy, so glad that you liked the pumpkin soup. I must admit it is one of my favourites. Since we call butternut a pumpkin here, it is still pumpkin soup. We have pumpkins all year round. It has to be one of my favourite veges. I'm not sure whether the Brits amoung us would agree. I like roast pumpkin, boiled pumpkin, mashed pumpkin, pumpkin soup, pumpkin salad, pumpkin and sage risotto, pumpkin and most things really - except I'm not that fond of pumpkin pie. Hope you are feeling better than you were.
Suzi - glad that the appliances came and that you got a replacement for the scratch. Sometimes you just have to ask and you get others they think they are doing you a favour by just answering the phone. Bah humbug. Australians (& NZers too often) do not know much about service. It is not something that comes naturally to us. We are getting better but not quickly.
Tig - you are doing so well. I think you are wonderful to enter so many of these runs. Do you run them all or do you sneak in a fast walk once in a while - you can tell me, I wont tell anyone. Glad to hear that your weekend is a good one. Who knows with DB, sure he hasn't had a good time over the past 5 or so years, but some people can rise above it and some let it get them. Both my brothers are of the second variety. Much as I love them, the inner strength in the family came in spade loads to my Sister and myself as it is in many more women than men although sometimes it takes years and tough times to bring the strength to the surface.
Mel my American fellow smeller of the roses and sister act, I hope you are getting enough rest and renewal. You give so much, and sometimes the tank simply becomes dry and one has to stop. Please do not let it get to that stage. If the rosacia is beginning to erupt, stop, smell the roses, get the rest, have a laugh with some dvds or videos. Just rest - there is always tomorrow.
Okay, I had better get off here, there is a travel program coming on the telly and I best not watch it or the itchy feet might start.
Have a good night all.
me and my family or should i say my family and i have had one of those rare peaceful ,funny delightful ,warm ,loving sundays that make all the crap ones worth while 
craig is eating {and keeping it down}and i swear theres a wee bit pink in his cheeks mind you that could be because the central heating has been on all day 
and if you dont come and live with me for a week and youll soon find out your life is normal sedate and managable but boy will you enjoy that week 
I came in second in my age group. (If I tell you there were only two of us in my age group could that be our little secret?) 
)
She is going to get a replacement door because of my inconvenience...oh yaaay joy joy! Some people do know about service, so when the door comes, I'm sending flowers to her!
I read your post Shad and giggled! 
Not at you of course, but are you sure we are not related??? It so sounds like me and my days at the moment. 
.
well i have to stay in tomorrow just incase by some miracle i get the house but hey i wont hold my breath 
was really looking forward to that darn soup
