Is not enough.
Gah… Tempted to ring the boss and tell him I’m still sick and need to sleep… But sun is up and room is sweltering so sleep is hardly likely.
Sigh.
Blogging Problems
I had all sorts of blogging plans for the evening and got scuppered…
“Toontown” an online game that I discovered while entertaining Angel’s 5 year old son who came to work with her today. It was great fun watching while he played and I have to confess I had to come home and download the 3 day trial package to play at home… Problem number 1 … Broadband doesn’t arrive till Friday… the download is a longwinded sort of process on Dial-Up. (Actually, isn’t everything???).
Solution Number 1. I am a patient sort and finally all was downloaded and the phrase “Let the games begin” was the order of the day.
Problem Number 2. The game is addictive. At least, for me… Tragic… but true.
Solution Number 2. Enforce evicition from my connection… the thrall is broken and I can get back to blogging…
Problem Number 3. I had coffee with a prospective flatmate. This is actually not a problem but it delayed bed time… Actually, I feel very good about the possibility of Flick moving in. She will let me know by Friday, so a prayer or 3 that if it is the “right thing” she will know would be appreciated… And if it is “not the right thing” an alternative is forthcoming soon.
I had a little chat to God about his tendency to make one hold out to the last minute as if to test one’s faith that he will come through. I made it a bit clear that I truly believe that he will bring the right person along, in the right time, etc.. etc.. etc.. and asked if he could accept that bit of faith as a downpayment on future faith tests as I would appreciate that this particular issue in my world be settled without the usual nail biting finale…
Time will tell.
Anyway… that bit of blogging is not as exciting as I might have liked… I am wrecked so se…. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Sunday
I find it wild that I have been so irregular (comparitively) at posting this week, and me on holiday and all! I think I am still a bit out of sorts with this flu and while I had a burst of energy mid week I have been taking it easy again as the weekend approached.
The thing with taking it easy is that there is less than usual to post about. I have hardly seen the Count (towelled or otherwise) amd actually it has got a bit weird here and we barely seem to be speaking… I know that this is beyond normal male communication handicap… one of his mates was here during the week and we chatted just fine, though briefly. the Count really just seems to have nothing to say.
I have spent the last 3 nights babysitting for a family who have been in Manly at a conference and I have been keeping the sofa in their hotel warm while the baby slept. It has paid rather good money and though the nights have been really late (yawn) I am going back tonight for another round. Thank goodness for my dvd rom drive, there has been nothing on tv and I have worn out the carpet at the video store getting stuff to keep me occupied!!
I have decided on a change of name for the blog, it’s a new year, and a change is a good thing, I can’t quite bring myself to change the colour scheme yet. I think the blue is quite restful…
Or something.
Better is as Better does…
Thank you one and all for the well wishing and the ascendent prayers. Am feeling much better though my throat is still somewhat out of sorts… Still, better enough to go to the movies (Meet the Fockers…) and drink coffee in Manly and walk along the beach, though the walking almost finished me off…
Hung out with Skeeter, Kaffin and Surf tonight. Had planned to watch a movie but erred instead towards good conversation… Marvellous how a good chat sets the world back on it’s axis. I hadn’t actually realised how much I had missed them. (The crew and the chats.). I think there will be more hanging out this week which will be rather nice.
I have been thinking about New Years Resolutions. Partly because Blogger Idol is thinking about them and partly because I never make resolutions, they only end in guilt.
Still… There are some things I would like to see happen this year.
Apart from the New Bod and the New Man, as mentioned in an earlier post…
- I would like a compatible flatmate (did I tell you Adder decided not to move in… I have to ask, is there a sign on my forhead saying “DON’T DO IT!”???? This is the 2nd time in 2 months… Any suggestions… and please don’t say “Ask the Count to stay on…”
- I would like more money, and actually have a plan to make that happen
- I would like to see some goals achieved at work. And I have a plan to pin my boss to a meeting in the boardroom and some goal setting.
- I would like to go home for my birthday and need to set a budget in place so that comes to pass.
- I would like to see more of Sydney and think I need to take a leaf out of Jack’s book to set some time aside each month to go somewhere new.
- I would like to spend more time with people closer to my age. (That includes you PIA… *winks*)
- I would like to sing more. With new people and have the resources to do it. Looking for the nerve…
So, these are some of the dreams/plans for 05… not so much resolutions as achievable goals…
At least, if I get my act together…
