The two hour car ride for a sandwich

This is the overflowing dam we drove out to see.






















It was a two hour drive each way and I took lots of photos of clouds.

And this is a tree.

The things a cats gotta put up with

 Bubba seems strangely unimpressed with the company

 But then he decided maybe they could be useful afterall.

Job

Strange and vivid dreams that I am reluctant to leave, just as I have to. 
What two weeks of sleeping in past ten or twelve will do for a person.

Extreme flooding after a period of drought - it makes ya think, don't it?
Makes ya think somebody is taking the piss.

MAKE IT STOP RAINING SO MY MOTHER CAN GO HOME!!!
ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME INSANE?
That's it, isn't it?
It's a conspiracy to send me barmey.
*shakes fist at sky*

Post schmost

The book I ordered hasn't arrived - sad face -  I think it will not arrive at all - tracking says it was posted before the ones I ordered for my niece and hers have arrived already - it is very sad.
I hate waiting.

Brother-in-law cooking pancakes for the family today.
Cats being smoochy.
Rainbow lorikeets frolicing in my sisters gum tree.
The sun burns already and it is only 8:19 am.
The air conditioner is purring.
The ceiling fan whorling.
I feel a bit sick cause I drank excessivelyish last night.
It is my usual coping method for parental visits.
Terrible dreams where I went out drinking with CEO of a company I dreamed I worked for after some kind of team meating to discuss safety procedures and dream me arriving at dream work the next day worried I drank too much the night before, but not remembering anything else embarrassing to dream self, only to be told that actually dream me had vomted in front of CEO and management twice during the course of the evening. 

Fuck I need coffee

Blah

I weeded.
A pile as high as my thigh.
Much still to do.
Perhaps if it doesn't rain again for a while some of the plants might even live?

I am zombiefied by holiday sleepins.
Must practice getting up early over the weekend.

Blather blather blah

I intended to spring clean over the break and garden - but rain, presence of parent and humidity have conspired against my fragile intentions and willowly will.  Thus my current piggy profile pic is entirely appropriate.

Lacklustre and limp I spent all day yesterday playing an interminal Jewelquest.   At 7 pm last night I had only reached Chapter Four or five of possible twelve made up of varying twenty to thirty boards each.  My cats disapproved and attempted interuption by knocking things off tables and bodily forcing disengagement from the keyboard and (unsuccessful) lap coups.

I cannot try and make it up to them with food treats because one of them is having a vomiting phase (don't know which one) and the others are somewhat disinterested from heat - both hormonal and external.  Must get Sookey desexed this year.

I won $26 on the lotto - it's not 31 million, but still a pleasant surprise.

I am forty this year - well, come December round anyway.
Forty is one of those important years.
A spring clean for the body and mind. 

I am daunted ... an internal and external habitat due all the same time - gah!

I fear a half-hearted tidyup may be the only thing that happens.

Perhaps you might suggest I create a display/plan of what I want to achieve out of life? 

Sadly, my only goals have always been to have no hassles, cats, and lots of books to read.
What do the contented people do when they turn forty?

I don't think my joints would like skydiving.

Also one is always worried one would be tempted to not open the shute.
Far to attracted to edges.
Think I have some lemming in me.

My new scooter

 I have named her Kym, as she is a Kymco Like 50.  I am so much higher off the ground on her - it feels very strange.

Was wearing white t-shirt when she was bought and then the heavens opened when I was riding her home - aye currumba.

Mother lent me the money to buy her.
