So Singular in Each Particular
by
An altogether unremarkable day, so, I won’t keep you long.
Utterly tedious at work…. wondering how long I would have to hold out for retrenchment… by current NSW laws it would appear that after 2.5 years in the job I would be entitled to 7 weeks severance.
I could live with that… (But not for long).

Today, it happened.
“You’ve Got Mail”
This is actually the 3rd response to my profile on a G.O.D.S. (Godly. Online. Dating. Site) The previous two rated no mention at all as one was a Nigerian email offering me ridiculous amounts of money for giving out my credit card details. As if… I might have been snared if it had been from somewhere like Madagascar but Nigeria? Will they ever learn???
The next response was from the West Indies. Now that’s more like it … Dreams of Sun, surf and cocktails on the beach… However the prospective beau was spamming the newbies on the site with an automated email selling himself as a Godly minister and inviting me to his lovely church and to check out his website. Sadly he was somewhat older than my ideal… by about 20 years… To add insult to injury I don’t think he had even looked at my profile, guess he was going for the shotgun approach…
Today’s offering has prospects. Right age, apparently articulate, close enough that meeting would not be complicated to arrange (in the future…) and far enough away that we aren’t going to bump into each other on the street! Nothing startling about the correspondence but seems like an interesting addition to the day’s goings on…
As usual, will let you know if anything develops!

I have realised on writing previous entry that I do a significant amount of blogging from my bed. Is this something I should be worried about do you think?
I think it is a very nice place to blog from, for the following reasons.
1. It is warm when the air around it is cold (Electrically assisted …).
2. It is soft and cushy and there are lots of pillows on it.
3. The window it is next to looks out over the ocean.
4. It is big enough that I can have all my books, journals AND laptop on it all at the same time.
5. It has a table beside it for my cup of tea (English Breakfast, strong, white and none).
6. I can stretch my feet all the way out in front of me making a lovely sized repository for the laptop.
7. I can wear my pajamas in it (or not, if I should prefer).
8. If I get sleepy I don’t have far to fall.
9. It is the only place in the house where no one else goes (actually that has it’s down sides…)
I can’t think of a 10th reason… largely because I am about to nod off… (see reason below.)

I was up at 6am …
YAWN.
Actually, the alarm went off at 6 and I got up round 6.15 so the fact that I managed to wash my hair, dress, dry my hair, makeup and leave home in 30 minutes is not to be considered a small feat. Well, at least I’m proud of it…
We have 2 services on a Sunday morning, one at 8 and one at 10. I was attending SO early because I was waving my arms at the choir this morning.
This is not an unusual occurrence, I do it most Thursday nights too. We have a jolly good time, there is quite a conglomeration of people who take part, with varying degrees of vocal gifting… We also have varying degrees of attention span as well, which give a whole new meaning to waving one’s arms at the choir. Sadly, said waving has been known to occur with the view to waking one or two choristers up, alerting to the need for rearranging their clothing to discreetly tuck away belly buttons and finally, this morning, to get the gentle swaying together back in time.
We have a long way to go … But we have a lot of fun on the way there!!!
