Seldom do I have a day that I would refer to as fantastic. Although today was one such day, if you excluse the vomiting incident. 
After having exactly ZERO hours sleep last night, I caught a lift down to the folks place with Teeda. I had planned on catching some Z’s while Mum played host to her friend Judi from school, while they worked on an assignment for their Tafe course.
Instead I ended up sitting around the dinner table, talking trash and having a good old laugh. We swapped amusing sexual anecdotes, chatted about anxiety and planned for me to volunteer at a school holiday program for kids with disabilities. That prospect really excited me actually.
Dad started his new job today. It appeared to be going smoothly til he arrived back in the drive way at half eleven. Turns out he’d been welding and somehow metal deelys got spattered into his eye, leaving it burnt and sore. I’m talking right on the eye ball styles. How it happened is beyond me, considering he was wearing a welding mask. The lengths my old man will go to, to avoid work!
This arvo, we piled into the family Volvo and headed to the doctors. Dad for his eye, and me for some prescriptions, med certificate and contraceptive advice.
There’s something very wierd about being in the Volvo with both my folks. It just feels…..very very strange….I almost can’t explain it. Makes me laugh though. My dad in the back, complaining about how they don’t make seat belts big enough (Right!?) and barking orders to my mum on how to reverse efficiently and without hitting the car parked behind us. Meanwhile, the ole bastard has both his eyes full of anaestheitc, fluoro green dye leaking from his tear ducts and couldn’t have told us if there were a friggin semi-trailer 2 inches behind us.
I’m so glad no one was around or I would have sunk into the depths of the European styled heated seats and out of sight.
After the folks gave me a lift back to the Surrey, I felt inclined to clean. I did the dishes. Took out the garbage. Cleaned the bathroom and the toilet. Tidied my room. See how productive I am nowadays!?
Teeda suggested we go for dinner later on in the evening, so after we spent the arvo singing along to tunes of a bygone era, we tarted ourselves up and headed out to our fave half price Monday Italian resteruant. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard, than what I did tonight. Teeda and I were in stiches the whole way through dinner. Hooves…………I smell Hooves!?
After dropping Dave off after dinner, we headed out for a drive along Beach Road. We found a gorgeous spot to sit and watch the waves crashing onto the sand, and sat in the warmth of the car talking for what seemed like an eternity. We talked about guys and our lives and the direction they were taking and how we’d grown from lovers lost.
I love the fact that after seeing eachother nearly every day for the last 10 years, we can still sit and talk about something interesting and new during each conversation.
We ended the night at Zags with hot chocolate, gourmet LOGS and a very drawn out game of pool.
I’m now home and tuckered out like you wouldn’t believe.
I dont normally narrate my days as I have just done, but there wasn’t one thing I really wanted to focus on. Today I got to spend time with the people I love most in the world.
How good’s that? Can’t think of a better way to spend a Monday.
Meanwhile, go MARK WEBBER! Polled 3rd at Hungry. Sat in 2nd most of the race. Placed 6th eventually. Championship points to Jaguar! Taking the total to 15!!!!
Wooooooooooo000oooot!!
Okay, I’m knackered like a dog on a leash, so I’m goin to bed punks.
Take it sleazy :o)
