Ani! Good to see you!!
Barb, well done on the 1.3kg loss!!
Julia, great comeback after the lollies!
Sorry about the size of the video clip...it took me two whole days to workout how to convert it into a file that YouTube would accept! Somehow I managed it, but if I was asked to do it again it would probably take me two days again!
When I took the jump I was so sure I wasn't going to enjoy it because I'd be constantly worried about the chute not opening or something going wrong. Even in the plane I was concerned about that. But Ashley (the dude!!!) was calm and casual and that made me feel quite secure.
I was enjoying the freefall at nearly 200kms/hr so much I was disappointed when the chute opened! I find it hard to believe there is nearly five minutes of filming there, because it seemed to happen so much faster. It was like one minute I was flying through the air and the next I was walking back to the pavillion saying thankyou and goodbye to Ashley.
Mista is doing ok today. He remains quite dozy and gets cold too easily, but when he is awake he appears comfortable and content.
Ani, your comment about Lucy
" - trying not to think about it too much, but I know it's not all that far away." is how I have felt about Mista since he was about 12yrs old!
The thing I find really hard just now is leaving him at home while I go to work for 9hrs a day. Everytime I pull up in my driveway after work I am gripped by the anxiety of possibly finding him passed away on the floor when I open my door.
It's a long weekend here this weekend - Picnic Day (I have no idea!!!) - and I have no plans! The last week has been too eventful...so I just want to relax and do nothing!
