Monday. Monday.

Made it! Monday is almost done. I feel sorry for Mondays. Got a bad rep they do. They're always judged by their name. If I was a day I'd be Friday. Or I'd be Sunday if I could be Sunday Morning. Sunday Evenings - well, they tip too close to Monday again and the association is somewhat depressing.
I'm going to try experimenting a little with punctuation! I'm a tad paranoid about my comma usage. I used to place them happily without thinking about it. The comma went where it went. I don't think I overused it. I just used it. Then someone, I'll call her Kerren (mostly because that's her name), told me about her pet hate. I believe she was facilitating a Business English course at the time. Anyway. She hated commas being misused. How do you misuse a comma I hear you scoff? It can be done. Ask me I'm paranoid now. Thanks Kerren. And I say that from the bottom of my heart. You made me a better punctuator. Yes I know that isn't a word. Did I mention I like to make up words?

I'm trying to make a point. You meet all sorts of folk on this - watch me use a cliche - journey called life. Everyone teaches you something. Tolerance. Patience. Punctuation. Introduces you to a new band, new drink, snails or a book. Get out there and meet people. They make you.

Mommy's Muti

I usually look forward to my Saturday morning. Sleep in a little later. Bruce normally chats to his folks and then one or both of us cooks up a breakfast. Then we just go with the flow. Today. Well, today I'm still sick. My cough-cough-cough-coughing kept Bruce and I awake most of the night. Around 3am I moved to the lounge, sat on the couch and coughed for about 10 minutes continuously. My chest really hurts. Feeling very sorry for myself. Why is it we always want our mother's when we are sick? I do anyway. I want her to put her hand on my forehead to check my temperature. Tuck me in and give me my muti. And then, just have the comfort of knowing she is checking in on me, bringing me flat coke, grated apple and dry toast with marmite. Unfortunately my Mom is all the way back in Benoni so Bruce is doing his best.
We went out and got some anti-biotics this morning. Let the road to recovery begin with the first step. The taking of the pill! Bruce has just brought me a hot toddy so going to drink up and then have a wee nap.

Feeling sick and sorry for myself

There is nothing in the world I detest more than being sick. I just can't seem to shake this cold and flu I've had for two weeks. Now it seems to have developed into Bronchitis. So finally took a day off work. I'm just not very good at staying in bed. I get bored. But this time I can't seem to get out of bed.
Anyone feeling sorry for me yet?

My wonderful Valentine

I had the most romantic day yesterday. Woken up just before 9 to be told a bubble bath awaited me but forbidden from entering the kitchen. Once I'd relaxed in the bath, and dress myself respectfully I was led through to our lounge where he'd set our dining table and placed a single stem pink rose next to my plate. Breakfast started with a cup of coffee and a yoghurt, raspberry, strawberry, cream conconction that was simply devine! Next up he appeared with a tray full of hot croissants - each with different fillings (ham and cheese, smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers, banana, crushed pecan nuts and nutella to name a few). Delicious!
Then I was told he'd booked me into a spa for a manicure and pedicure which would be followed with a hair appointment at my usual salon with Ben my Hairdresser. So by lunch time, I had was looking mighty fine!
We then came home, moved our mattress into the lounge and vegged out watching romantic DVD's. Around 5 I was told to get ready as we were going out for dinner. He took me to an Italian Restaurant up the road from us that we've been meaning to visit for a while. Had a gorgeous meal, some wine and perfect company.
Came home and climbed back onto the mattress and cuddled up to watch the classic Lady and the Tramp.... a perfect Valentine! I'm very lucky to have such a man!

Sunday Mornings!

It's Sunday Morning. Pancake Day! Woke up this morning hankering for some American Style Pancakes!! Alas we are all out of bacon so it is just pancakes with cheese and Maple Syrup - but yummy and very healthy none the less!
I'll reward myself with a trip to the gym later!

Lots of budget planning, life planning and house cleaning to be done today so I need the energy. I like to start my day off on a happy note!

Doesn't time just fly by. Almost 2 years since I last wrote on here. Like an addict in rehab I just stopped.

Now I want to start again.
