BAD START TO A WEDNESDAY

 

I know this sounds so ungrateful but maybe by the end of this post I will feel a bit better!

I am really hating this life, to get to work on time in Johannesburg is a fairy tale! I just cant do it!

At the company I work for, it is unacceptable to be late for work, even by 5 minutes. I have already received a warning for my tardiness and if 2013 continues this way I will be getting another one!

 

What time do I have to wake up and leave for work to get to work on time? Maybe I should just sleep in my car at the office, then at least I will be early.

 

I work in Kyalami and I live in Northriding so I have to approx travel 16km - 20km to work and the only way to get to where I am going is 1. on the freeway or 2. on main roads both of which are packed with traffic each and everyday. And to add to the frustration, you have to deal with wild cards like taxi's, vehicles broken down and accidents!

 

I just wish I could work from home but this process of getting the business up and running and making enough profit is taking so long.

 

I should be thankful I have a good job, I should be thankful I have a car to get to work, I should be thankful that I owe a house, but I just feel so negative today about not being about to get to work on time.

We are 21 days into 2013 and almost finished the first month of the year.

This small fact is significant to me because I have yet to achieve or start the process to achieve some of my goals for 2013 (I sewed the dog chewed crotch of my tights this morning, but that does not count, I am just going broke replacing all the items my dogs eat!) 

My biggest personal goal of 2013 is to weigh 60kgs or less (me and the rest of the women on planet Earth) and I am about 20kgs away from this goal. Tonight I will be going to visit my old friend Jim for a good old work out and to start my “New Years Resolution” 21 days after the fact.

I will also be stepping onto the truth machine (scale) and see exactly how far away I am from my goal weight.

These are my feet, in my shoes this morning. Now some may think it is very strange to wear 2 different shoes to work, but  I don't.                

You see, the black pump was part of a pair and they happen to be the last pair of shoes (besides for a pair of boots and bright pink heels) I own that my dogs have not destroyed!

Sadly my black pump's life came to an abrupt end as Krillin, my min pin, stole my shoe while i was watching TV and murdered it.

And so today I am sporting 2 different shoes on my feet!

The quote 'you hurt the ones you love' rang true this morning when I was attacked with love. My wonderful pups were so ecstatic in the morning they can not contain their joy at the sight of me in the morning and as a result. . . . . . . . . . . . .

My brain feels as messy as my desk today, I have so many ideas and plans I cant seem to focus on one thing.
I am missing the holidays, missing being at home everyday with my dogs, waking up when I wake up (normally at 7am). It is motivating me to get on top of my business, expand it and make it work. My dream is to work from home doing things I enjoy, trekking to a desk and working with nasty people 5 out of 7 days a week is not the life for me!

So I have busy with all kinds of different ideas and research today, website ideas, app ideas, logo ideas, craft ideas, so many ideas where do I even start............................

1 NOVEMBER 2012

With October done and dusted, November is here and with it a new set of problems.

This morning we received an email from our land lady informing us she is giving us notice to move out of our cottage by the end of the month. Now moving out for us is not a problem, we are planning to do that in any case but we are still waiting to hear about our house and when (being positive) when get our house, when will we be able to take occupation??? We can not rent another place in the mean time, it would cost too much to move twice and be a waste of time.

On top of this, she is trying to back date charges for a rent increase we were never notified about and extra money for my mom and brother staying with us. She is really crazy if she thinks she is getting a single cent from us as the toilet has been broken for over a month, the whole house flooded on the weekend damaging our furniture.

On a more positive note, the Standard Bank assessor has gone to assess or house today so holding thumbs they are going to offer us something!

Last night for Halloween we went to Bright Water Commons with the peeps from my boyfriends work. They had a whole festival where the kids could trick or treat, a haunted house and lots of goodies to waste your money on. We all just dressed up and went to Miginty's for a few drinks.

My Granny

My Granny has been very sick, she has a mass on her ovaries which looks to be cancerous. It was such a great relief to me speaking to her today and she sounded very upbeat and happy.

She has been in and out of the hospital the last few weeks having an op and scans and tests but today she was finally released and is now an out patient and she will be starting her chemo on the 13 Nov.

It has been very difficult for her in the hospital, she has spent her whole life sleeping next to my Grandpa every night and now to be sick and sleep in a strange place with 7 other women. I am glad she is home and think she will have a faster recovery in her own house her and my Grandpa built when they were newly weds.

XxXxXx Please pray for my Gran and everyone else with cancer.
