They arrive tomorrow!

Posted on Sat 1 March 2008 at 08:45

It was September 06 when I last saw any of my sons, so you can probably imagine how I feel right now.  Dammit, just typing that has made the tears well in my eyes and I didn't know it was going to happen.  My heart is full to bursting: it's a difficult emotion to convey.  The sheer pride I have in all my children, how the boys have matured into well rounded adults and made me feel so incredibly lucky that they are mine.  Boys,  I miss you loads but I'm happy in the knowledge that you are carving out lives for yourselves and seem to be making a damn fine job of it.  Always know that I love you.  Shit, crying again........I guess it's the anticipation of Shane's visit - that and the fact that the other 2 phoned me up this afternoon - which made it 3am  in Scotland!!  Bad, bad boys!! 

But it has been absolutely pissing it down here – please Lord, don’t let summer be finished as Shane and Lisa are here for a fortnight!!  I’m working tomorrow, then round to pick the girl up from the horses, then off to the airport.  I have no doubt whatsoever I will be crying as soon as I see them on the tarmac (note to self: don’t wear make-up as it will be smeared down face before they get in the terminal!) Today was meant to be a day of cleaning but it’s not that unkempt, so I have done very little.  And what I did do, I did with the accompaniment of my new CD’s – Marylin Manson, Nirvana and Linkin Park  - I’ve had a cracking day!!  Stereo jacked up to the max – a veritable wall of sound – I could still hear it over the hoover, the washing machine and the waste disposal!! 

 

I had a really crappy day at work on Thursday – got punched in the face by an irate patient.  I just didn’t see it coming so I am a bit annoyed with myself that it happened.  Not to worry, he punches like a girl but I have bruises from his knuckles on my chin and a bit of a fat lip.  C’est la vie, I guess and chalk it up to fate.

 

I went to yet another housewarming yesterday – I’m so loving living here!  A good mix of social events: some with the expats and some with my colleagues.  Not only that:  we got a lift with other work-mates so I didn’t even have to drive.  When you do all the driving, it’s just so good to not have to for a change.  Lavi – you’re a star!!

 

Nothing new with the bad kitties, apart from the fact Melissa and I have just given them flat tops in honour of Shane’s arrival.  Anyone else do that?  Trim the end of the tail off just above the bone so that it looks like the tip of a paintbrush with a nice……..well……..flat top!!  I have done it for years with every cat I have ever owned and it makes me smile, so it’s all good!

How bizarre I need a photo to get the full image my feeble man-imagination doesn't reach to cats with trimmed tail hair.

Sounds like you are happy Karen, good to see it :~D
