Channeling the Zen

by Veronica on May 16, 2008

in Life

I am channeling my inner Zen.

I am thinking calming thoughts.

I am not stressed anymore.

My period was due today, and it isn’t here. Today is almost over.

I am conveniently ignoring the fact that my cycle can be a complete arsehole sometimes and sneak unexpected things on me (like super long cycles and super long periods and strange bleeding and cramping and… well, lets just agree that my cycle is an arsehole who likes to play with my head).

Tomorrow is CD31 and I am ready for it.

Nat’s parents are going to visit, so I am going to take the oppurtunity to let Amy show her Nanny how she goes down the slide (very fast, needs her hands holding or she eats dirt at the bottom, and trust me, it isn’t fun and it isn’t pretty) while I try to dig some of the front fenceline.

I want to plant a hedge of mint along the front fence, just because mint is lovely and it smells beautiful and it deters mice. Apparently.

And yes, I do know that mint is a weed and will spread. GOOD. I want it to spread. Along the front fence line at least. I want a pretty smelling hedgy bushy thing there and I want to be able to not worry about kids eating it.

So, digging, mint, slides, zen and no period.

Yep, that is about it from me today. Hehe.

Oh the other thing? I won’t be getting broadband. No way, no how. Apparently it is ‘too costly to repair the line for only 1 family to use’. Some arsehole on the mainland made the decision.

If you work for TELSTRA and you made the decision for me, revoke it okay? You are mucking up my blogging.

Very exciting. I am thinking fetile thoughts for you (NOT ME Body you hear that)!! Mint sounds really nice. You could make a good mint julip with that too.

New reader to your blog. Love it . Fingers X’ed for the no-show period.

WTF? can’t believe you can be the ONLY family in Tassie that wants Broadband or am I missing something here? Are you on a island off Tassie?

katef May 17, 2008 at 2:51 pm

Mint is good… sliding is fun.. telstra sucks (if you are on any kind of dial-up have they told you what they will do once they discontinue those services at the end of the year???) and I have all my fingers and toes crossed.
