I was chatting to Juno yesterday about the fact that we are in the middle of another week and again I feel like I've done nothing ... she said she'd heard somewhere ... "time doesn't really move any faster ... we just don't know how to appreciate and live in the 'today ' We are always planning for the tomorrow and even further in advance than that !!! And how true is that ...
Before we'd even finished our first cup of 'crappy' coffee yesterday we had the diaries out and planning the weekend ... next week ... a few weeks from now and hey even next year !!!!
I mean... I got one of those 'fun ... please forward e-mails' that had a question in it : What are you looking forward to doing ... short term, medium term & long term ??? Why not just what are you looking forward to doing today ???? ENJOYING IT... ENJOYING LIFE???
Why the philosophical approach ... heard 2 pieces of crappy news lately ... a very good friend has found 'an alien entity' in her body ... and been told it's the BIG C!!!! How SHITTY is that !!! and then received a letter from another mate who has been AWOL for awhile only to hear she lost her MUM last October and I didn't even know (now I know why she's been AWOL!!!) ... doubly SHITTY ... so all I'm waiting for now is the 3rd bit of Shitty news !!!! (bad news always travels in 3's)
To both of you ... I'm really sorry to hear your news ... you are both in my thoughts and prayers...
So what have we been up to this week ... believe it or not ... a lot of nothingness really ...
Still doing the aquaerobics, Monday & Wednesday ... loving it, although as I think I might have mentioned before ... aching in the funniest of places ... Lana our instructor makes sure every muscle and fibre of the body is stretched and abused !!! LOL . Again by the time I get back from our 1 hour lesson, shower and get dressed it's almost 11am so the day seems almost over !!!!
I then download e-mails, surf the net for about an hour, which is not much really (you computer junkies will agree on that one !!!) and before you know it it's lunch time ... followed by pick up - homework for about an hour and a half ... start the dinner ... eat the dinner ... watch about an hour of TV and it's to bed to get up the next day and start all over again ...
Tuesday's are the worst - OK TG no Aqua but it's taking mum to do her bits & bobs in town ... (pensioners day etc) then back home, pack away groceries or whatever ... pack Crafting stuff in car ... teaching 1.45 - 3pm, Kelsey at cricket, collect him at 3.15pm take him for his extra lesson with Mandy then it's back to rugby practise from 4 - 5pm ... Thursday is my favourite day of the week ... I do drop off and then I don't have to be at school till 5pm cos Kelsey has cricket AND rugby!!!!
So with all this NOTHINGness in my week how come I have no TIME to do anything !!!! There's that word again TIME !!! I seriously have to find me some more ... well I did start a 'page' on time in my journalling attempts ... well I seemed to have a bit on my hands between cricket & rugby on Tuesday ... this is it so far ....
Work still in progress ....
OOOO I do have something to tell you ... yesterday I was witness to a rather 'unusual' accident:The Scene: I'm the 2nd car waiting at the traffic lights ... the lights turn green and we proceed across the road ... now I have to explain these particular traffic lights are on a small incline so when you go over them you can't go fast as it's uphill and it's a busy intersection ... the car in front moves off at a normal speed , as she passes the set of lights on the opposite side of the road a pedestrian (drunk as a skunk, and some of you out there will know exactly the 'type' of person!!! ) stepped out straight into the left side of her car .... his can of beer flies into the air (yes you read it right his beer !!!) ... he falls down all dazed and confused ... the poor lady in the car in front doesn't know what the hell has hit her and he doesn't know where the hell he is !!!! He has a large gash above his left eye ... he stands up ... brushes himself off ... straightens his shirt etc ... and is just standing there swaying !!! The lady pulls over ... luckily (or not) there was a police car on the right hand side waiting to turn right and a car behind that had also witnessed this whole thing ... the police took my details as a witness and then I moved on .... it looked so funny, and to me it all happened in slow motion, you're all probably laughing about it too BUT apparently I'm told the guy died at the scene a bit later !!!!!! (W.T.F)
Don't know what's going to happen now !!! But I may have to give some sort of a statement I guess ??? I tell you ... in a blink of an eye !!!!
We're still having great weather ... yes I have to mention it ... cos I realised I mentioned the bad weather a lot too so this is to even out the odds ... we're hoping it's going to be good for the weekend cos Ushaka Marine World has a promotion on - only R 5.00 p.p. entrance (normally R 120.00 p.p on Saturday) and the gang that went out last weekend are meeting up this weekend hoping to go !!!! See there I go again ... planning our future away ... but it means I may just have a 2nd weekend of full-ness instead of nothing-ness
Well I'll keep you all posted ....
Today's thought: TODAY is the TOMORROW you worried about YESTERDAY
