My beloved and I went to the movies this morning to see Casanova - witty, romantic, and much fun!

The we browsed at Koorong for a while before having a late lunch at Cafe Valetta, followed by a long, slow stroll hand-in-hand through Queen’s Park and the Botanic Gardens.

Now it is time to curl up beside him and listen to his heart beat until I fall asleep.

A perfect day!

Poor Joshy is so exhausted he went for a nap when he got home from work and 5 hours later he’s still sound asleep! Haven’t the heart to wake him. I’m hoping he sleeps through til morning coz he needs it.

Today Freaky took me clothes shopping. I got two plain long-sleeve fitted t-shirts (one black, one white), a groovy grape-purple cardigan, and some long black boots My winter wardrobe is nearly complete! I decided it was time to get rid of the baggy, faded, pilled, worn, sloppy, old tracky daks and jumpers and get some more stylish pieces that I can layer with my existing clothes and the like. I did keep a couple of pairs of tracky daks though, my hipster wideleg ones! And a couple of fleecy jumpers for the really cold days.

I got Josh a pair of Snoopy boxers that I saw while I was out, even though they weren’t on my list. He likes them muchly. And bandaids weren’t on my list either, but the ones I had on were rubbing off and I’m still trying to break in my new Dunlop’s, so I bought some extra wide ones and took my shoes off in the middle of a shopping centre and put the new bandaids on. My relief was palpable.

This weeks FLY Zone is the kitchen and I hadn’t done any work in it all week (except the usual - cooking, dishes, wiping down benches and cupboards and the stove, sweeping, etc). So that’s what I’ve been doing tonight. Paaaaaarty! I’ve cleaned the windows and killed the spiders and pulled down the cobwebs and wiped out the oven and griller and gone through the cupboards and drawers. All I want to do now is dust on top of the fridge and the microwave unit and it’s done. I had already wiped out the microwave after a potato explosion, and cleaned the fridge because it had barbeque sauce on it and chocolate crumbs in it thanks to a certain person who shall remain nameless but is the only human male in this household. If it’s fine tomorrow I may disinfect the bins, but they’re not that dirty since I wipe them out pretty much every week.

Obviously, as a housewife, I take my job seriously!

Cleaning out a drawer today, I found lots of little bottles of wedding bubbles left over from our nuptials so I blew some for Gypsie. She likes to jump up and try to catch them in her mouth. It is adorable to watch! I might have to get Josh to take pictures some time. Mega cuteness.

Have been getting back into watching my Dawson’s Creek dvd’s. They are a good accompaniment to my current exercise routine - it goes for about half an hour, and each episode is approx 40 minutes, so afterwards I can sit and have my drink of water while I watch the end of the episode (and - usually - cry).

Work tomorrow, which means much coffee, and party pies while watching Degrassi on my break once again. Makes work worth it. Getting paid helps, too.

I got my student ID in the mail today. I am officially a student - w00t! Now I can get cheap pizza and movie tickets.

My hair needs washing. Our cold tap in the shower broke the other week and so we are currently using pliers to turn the cold water on and off. Last night the pliers slipped off and bit my finger. It hurt. Bad. I have a lovely wound that is part cut, part crush, and part bruise. Anyone wanna see? I think I’ll cover my hands in a towel first tonight, just in case they try to kill me again.

Struggling with fatigue the past few days. Unsure whether it is the weather, my insomnia/restless legs, a return of CFS symptoms, or a combination of all three. Not to worry - I know I need to roll with it rather than try to fight it, and rest rest rest as much as I can. It’s times like these I’m so thankful I am in a situation which makes that possible.

On a much more positive note: Latte Tim Tam’s. OMGZ!

And so to bed.
