Goin` Back

 

Hello Everyone,

I`m so sorry that I couldn`t read any journals yesterday.  I just didn`t have time seeing as how I didn`t get online until nearly 9pm.  My friend B, the one I told you about a couple of weeks ago came to visit.  We hadn`t seen each other for about 15 yrs so we had so much to catch up on.  She was still as gorgeous as ever.with the same infectious laugh, how have I managed all these years without her in my life.  As the afternoon wore on we talked about everything, work, or in my case lack of it, husbands, kids, cars, golf and fishing...don`t ask...lol!  Then of course we talked about us, things we did in the past, the nights out, the boyfriends, the break ups and the down right disasters in our lives that we somehow managed to survive...lol!  We were seventeen again for those few hours we spent together, we even danced around the kitchen, much to the delight of Jake, who absolutely adored her...and could also smell her adored Boxer dog Scooby!   B has now thrown down the gauntlet to make sure I overcome one of my worst, but irrational fears.  I only way I`ll see her again is to drive to her house....not a problem in itself but I am terrified of driving on motorways which I must do in order to get there.  I have decided that enough is enough, I`ve been driving safely for 20 years and I know I am perfectly capable soooo.....that is what I`ll do.  I will go out one day next week when the rush hour is over and I`ll drive a couple of junctions down the M4.  Once I`ve done it I`ll be ok, it`s doing it for the first time that is the problem so please, wish me luck and watch this space!  This morning I feel really upbeat,  I even FEEL younger and fitter, it must be the follow on from yesterday.  Whatever it is I wish I could bottle it and sell it, I would make a fortune...lol! I spent the morning doing housework and for much of the time I was singing and dancing, again much to the amusement, or bewilderment of Jake.

The weather is still very unsettled though quite mild, I`ve done loads of washing that will of coursebecome loads or ironing once it`s dry...sigh.  I must get it done because I need to pack the things that I`m taking on holiday next Saturday.  When I come back I`ll be looking very seriously for a job, this time I WILL find something, anything, or almost anything within reason will do, so again, watch this space.  Roman has been as good as gold since the `bad day` he had at the beginning of the week.  I really appreciated it last night as I was tired out from all that talking and laughing with B, who he took to immediately.  I forget to say that Danny came over last night for a shower.  His boiler has broken down  leaving him with no hot water but with luck the plumber will be there some time this morning, he`s let him down once already so fingers crossed he turns up this time.
Anyway, my friends.  I hope you all have a great Bank Holiday Weekend. Take care, Bye Bye for now. :o)
