He's so smart... But he doesn't read.

It's been one of those busy but not busy weekends where enough has happened that I can give an interesting answer to the Monday morning "How was your weekend?" 's but not so busy that I can't bear to face going off to work tomorrow.

In fact my head is in a funny place where I have a lot to think about. A lot of weird feeling and dreaming and supposing kind of thinking. My head is leaping around so many different ideas and thoughts and memories that I am almost afraid to sleep.

For if I actually manage to slow down my head enough to sleep... I may just dream every possibility of every ending of all the things rushing around my head that I may wake up with even more going on inside my mind.

This weekend I: (including friday evening)

A) finished my big report with a little help from a colleague or two... Well first draft at least. But finished technically on time is a big breakthrough for me. A happy one.

B) saw the guy who I went to his matric dance with. (his present girlfriend has a monobrow, dark monobrow)

C) saw an old school friend who said to me I hadn't changed in 10 years. Which was both sad and funny because I was touched he knew my personality so well but disappointed I'm still the same silly woman

D) went for drinks with the gang and still managed to be to only non couple at the table (Mr T was still in RB)

E) drove for 2 hours there and 2 hours back in my hot little car all by myself to Springs

F) went to look a really nice rental property Lots of pros Lots of cons

G) got unexpected news at an unexpected time and had an unprepared terrible reaction. Trouble is I was in denial to be taken by surprise in the first place (this is vague on purpose)

H) evened out my driving arm tan - now I have dual sunburned arms

I) went to the drive-in (and watched the movie)

J) drank some really terrible cheap wine.... Wine which was recommended by a wine buff friend.

K) ate some delicious German chocolate mmmmm Gonna find me some more next time at the airport duty free.... (and have to first take it to Botswana and back most likely)

L) spent almost R300 in groceries in a 5 minutes shopping expidition - more than 10 different items bought. That's a skill boys and girls.

M) realised I have stopped Just Coping at work and started really enjoying getting things completed at work. I ponder if it's maturity or a bubble to be popped.

N) realised that in many ways, getting married soon would actually achieve a manner of freedom I don't have at the moment. (missing a few ingredients there though)

O) ate a McDonalds burger for the first time in a long long long while. I haven't been missing out.

P) got lost and unlost driving in Joburg with minimum stress easy peasy Ha ha (famous last words?)

And that's about time to stop I think... And perhaps stop thinking long enough to sleep... To be ready to attack the new week with vigour!
