hump day

that is wednesday
when the work week reached the midpoint
and expected to go downhill til the weekend

i also learned that macdonald's is maccas

purple trees

it's the time of the year when jacarandas are in bloom
if trees were words, jacarandas punctuate paragraphs beautifully.

thankful for the clean, crisp smell of rain.

not late for work anymore

waking up to a ready breakfast
bringing proper packed lunch
coming home to a hot dinner ---

thankful ma's in sydney
up by 3 pounds, yay!

this is not courage

thankful for the luxury of choosing jobs
and for change that keeps me on my toes

finally have the clarity to write down the realization:
i can't live with "just a day job"
i want a job that i like doing to fund for other things i like doing

to rosemarie, who never tires of searching with me
my ever-changing soul

bean bug

i am not a big fan of the tellie
but once in a while, i enjoy sitting in front of the tube
these days, aside from the evening news, 20to1 on tuesdays and border security on sundays
i watch flash forward on mondays
last night was the apprentice australia
thankful ada is here to tellieducate me.

spring interrupted

thoughts that occupied me on this morning train ride:
what makes one read another person's story in a magazine?
or what is one trying to find while going through items in a newspaper?

thankful i was awoken in the middle of my night by a call from ivy.
the hour chat's was delightful.
