Gosh you all look delicious this Morning! I have MISSED you!!! :h (Although some of you could do with a haircut and changing out of those 3 day old underpants if you don't mind me saying so...)
I've been away for a few weeks, working on the rindy self in all respects, and am very pleased with the new canteloupe emerging. Trim body, sober mind, and a positive outlook to my life at the moment that has been missing since I can't remember when (I finally found it down the back of the sofa along with $3.00 and a back copy of 'Hello' magazine...it's always the last place you look...)
Thank you ALL for the lovely messages in my pm box...I have logged on a couple of times over my absent period, but have not really been in the right headspace to post or reply to anything, so I apologise to those who may have been worried, but the Melon was indulging in good old Me, Me, Me disease which has been extremely productive for a change instead of the usual whingy 'oh my life is a tragedy' snowball she has been caught up in so many times in the past....
I have also been away for a while at camp with the young man that I look after, and the rest of the guys in his Special Ed unit which was a GREAT break. Every year, we go down to a place called Rotorua, an area of incredible geothermal liveliness a few hours drive from school. The kids and staff have a wonderful time scampering around boiling mud pools and marvelling at buried villages and we stay in a very basic, but welcoming little bunkhouse site on the edge of Lake Rotorua which is absolutely beautiful!
Every evening, L. and I would wander along the lakeside in the setting sun gazing out at Mt Mokoia before I put him to bed which is a remarkably more effective sedative than anything else I usually try...unfortunately, this is negated by the fact that the boy snores like a dying wildebeest for most of the night and so the zeds (for me) were in negative numbers by the time I returned home again....still, eyes like saddlebags and skin the colour of mushrooms is a small price to pay for a wonderful time spent with some folk of the highest splediferousness, and I was VERY sorry indeed to have to make my way back to the building site that loosely masquerades under the title of 'my home'........
It's about 94 days AF for me now, I think (how many days in February this year??)...coming up to the big 100...yippee!!!
Well...love to all this Sunday, off to scan the rest of the boards now...I've got a lot of catching up to do!!! Weehappymelon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(p.s......one kiss each, with extra slobber for those that desire.....)
