a new dawn , a new day!
Good morning ladies, I just ate some dark chocolate for breakfast and have 5 minutes to spare before the day goes supersonic so I thought I would centre a little bit before I get back on the merry go round, 10 reasons to be grateful on this breezy Saturday morning.
- I have 3 projects to complete this weekend; a referees report criticising a cell journal article about epidermal growth factor, the discussion of my bowel cancer screening article and a presentation discussing the ethical implications of funding in IVF and cancer treatment. Its a good job I gotta a big, sexy brain with neurons to spare!
-the babe is dancing all day so I have time plus I have to reschedule some social things, I carve out the time I need, its an hourly challenge! Sometines I have to change stuff up
-I got some prawn cocktail and dressed crab in the fridge for lunch
-My childcare is payed up for until the end of term!!! the schools year is complete! Childcare is an elaborate balancing act and this year, despite a ton of challenges, its gone ok! I put time into getting this right and accessing funding and organising stuff.
-I got a total bargain on an epilator yesterday, a third of the price. I checked out the reviews on Amazon but I was still scared
£30 is a big money sale!! I tried it out last night and it was great! OK it hurt like hell! but you get used to it and it becomes kind of addictive. the results are fabulous just as good as wax and way cheaper plus you don't have to wait for the hair to grow. Its an investment in a smooth skinned sex drenched future!
-Countdown to my man returning to Liverpool I can't wait! I NEED to see him.
- I am repeating my experiement next week in my own time, its gonna be hard to fit it in but this shits for publication, its gotta be right on.
-I got a book token for my birthday (32 people!!!) I have a ton of things waiting to be read so I spent it on the babe and my fellas grandson, a kids historical novel for her as a present for a great first year in big school and a baby book with a dinosaur hand puppet for the baby! Cute.
-I met up with my dad the other day for the first time in a long time. i took him for Tandourhi mushrooms. he is till crazy after all these years, chasing women, smoking like a chimney, getting into trouble BUT he is my Dad. he reminds me a lot of Micky Rourke in The Wrestler.however, he has been clean and sober for a year, yay jimmy!
I am making peace with him, that sucker is 60! he does NOT look after himself, his time is limited. i am going to have regular phone and real time contact with him. i have a vision of how I want to behave towards my dad and I am ready to put into practise. Old(er), he's not old but for someone whos lived his way this is old, people need peeps not pole dancers.
I am ready to be his emergency contact. he is a good hearted but misguided old dude who still doesn't know what the problem is! its ok dad I don't need a damn thing from you lets just go watch a film and discuss football as you cruise into sensecence. I forgive you and myself for being mad. I am not mad anymore.
- M.I.A. is fab! i know her lyrics are sometimes a liitle provocative but you can't help but grind to that stuff ,especially SUnshowers, it s on You tube. " i bongo with me lingo and beat it like a wing yo" What a tune! Plus Born Slippy by Underworld is agreat housework tune.

Chocolate, M.I.A., and working on stuff you love sounds like a great day to me!
good day to you, love!
*that was my post valley girl, up till 4 am, just woke up sort of aussie street style "good morning" to you!
you are so right, dad is dad - i respect that you got back in contact with him, it was the right thing to do for YOU (and the mushrooms sounded delicious!). he will never change - but you've grown in leaps and bounds, and it's awesome that you can forgive and move on - sharene taught me a year ago, that getting back in contact with my mom simply meant that i was in a good place in my life. i think this is always the case when someone does this.
good luck on redoing the experiment, you can do this - i know your time is precious/your energy is always focused right where it should be, you can get this done. i know you.
the book gift you gave your daughter and man's grandson is super nice, they will enjoy it!
epilators and childcare are the same thing - A MUST HAVE! you've done a smashing job at tackling the hair, and the childcare? the way you've arranged it has totally worked, no cracks, nothing. be proud of this.
i hear you on having to swap time or create more time, when needed, for yourself, i do this often - i have my regular chunks and then i try to create more where i see the gaps, it's necessary.
this week was challenging for me, i found out that mars dad hadn't paid his portion of childcare for over a year. so sad and unexpected. i worked everything out, but it was still a huge slam.
at any rate, i needed more time to do my thing, this is how it is sometimes.
on an up note = your brain is the sexiest i've ever met and the discussion about the cancer treatment sounds awesome - dig deep on this one!
love you always - CX
glorious love making in or around the park!?? oh lord, this steamy affair is making me smile at 3 am! good stuff, lady - your man missed you so much! i know he was thinking about you all week - i am in tears right now, i see you wedding day, sooner than you think!
the gazebo is nice!
the gift for your daughter was thoughtful and sweet - it's time to make that leap! you can do it! blended families are nice, you'll see!
thank you for being an excellent friend, girl - this week rocked me to the core - i had this situation pop up and a good friend who i have known for years *and who i've helped out countless times* commit to helping me for year as a roomate and nanny for mars, only to flake out and opt to be temporarily homeless instead.
the nerve - the reality, the world that we all live in.
i am regrouping and coming up with a solid plan for next year, i know what i must do. you're right, and i appreciate the compliment - i dig and do what needs to get done, period. i have always been this way, and i will continue to use my own strength in my life, when needed.
what else can be said? sometimes shit surprises us - this is how it is. and some people no matter how hard they try or how hard they deny it, can't live up to their responsibilities, commitments, or promises. the child care issue is a no brainer, it needs to be paid by him and he knows it.
i need one more week to set myself straight and then i'm good as gold - it was challenging for me to channel this week, but i did it anyways.
i know that i must continue to push forward in my love quest and career, and keep mars where she is safe, with me.
i enjoy my time with her, and i know that i will find the perfect sitter to come to our home, 3 nights a week so i can work, while completing my last year of film school. she is happy about this, so am i.
last year of film school - that sounds nice!
your friend - cX
nice! thanks, meds!
my heart is always with you! i know you're busy wrapping up school, you're so close, don't stop!
i'm contemplating a lot right now, thanks for your support - love always, cX
Glad things are working out so nicely.
