Monday

Second week of vacation starting.  Getting a little bored with being home.  Between Kayla and I, we can't do too much.  I'm just sitting here watching the sunrise on the cameras.  Hard to believe I can sit here at nearly midnight and watch a sunrise thousands of miles away.  So cool.

We had 3 fantastic thunder storms late this afternoon.  The rain was so hard you couldn't see across the street.  There was small hail too.  Really neat. 

My neighbor was down.  I was showing her the picture of Dika and all the orphans.  She said "all I see is a picture, I can't get into them".  She does like animals, but I don't think she would do much of anything to help one.  She is a bit strange.

Anyhooo, it is just coming up on midnight, so I have to close down and get to bed.  Have a great week, my friends.

It has been 24 degrees today, very warm for early August, it is usually wind. It is only 10 degrees this evening and I'm rather chilly. Jackie and I have been for our usual outing and walk down to our local reserve at the end of our street this afternoon. It was more enjoyable that it has been for a while due to the warm day, all the wattle is out in full bloom. Been up to Integra Coal Mine with Jim today and meet two men I used to work with but haven't seen for a few years. It was nice catching up. Hope you are doing OK with the patches and not becoming too bored with yourself. Julie xx

Julie, I have itchy red spots everywhere I put the patches. Annoying but not too bad. I am wondering if those were the reason for me being up at 3 a.m. and not being able to sleep.

It has been a strange day, weather wise.  Woke up to pouring rain, then beautiful sunshine, the pouring rain again.  Weird.  I am really missing Mumbushi this week.  Loved that little guy.  FB is getting a little weird.  We had a really nice group, then it grew.  In some ways it is a little better, in some ways, I liked the group we had.  Can you tell I don't like change too much?  I think I am just feeling too sentimental tonight.  Missing all my babies and can't wait to see them.  Mumbushi was only with us a short time, but he touched a lot of lives.  I am so sorry I never got to meet him.  Oh, Lord, the tears are starting. A little upset tonight.  Maybe I am being a little petty, but I don't care.  My son's girlfriend's family want to throw a birthday party for him tomorrow.  This is great.  However, for his birthday, he borrowed my car to go to a wedding, and stayed there overnight.  Just came back this evening, so no time to really do anything for him.  Now t

Ah, another week has gone by.  16 days left before I leave.  I realized today that it is not traveling that I am nervous about.  I think I have this fairy tale opinion of Africa that I had had since I was a kid.  I have dreamed of going for so long.  But with all that's going on, my views have shattered.   I always thought of Africa as deep jungles, lost rivers and exotic locations.  Maybe it was like that when I was a kid, but that was 45 years ago.  A lot changes in that time. Back to work tomorrow.  The weekend was a complete write-off.  Pouring rain, cold, miserable.  But I got a lot done.  Washed all the bedding from the guests last week.  So everything is good. Long weekend next week.  Our Thanksgiving.  I am invited to the "future in-laws??" for dinner.  Am looking forward to it.  Such a great family.  I am so glad Greg met Allie.  She is a wonderful girl (woman). Anyhow, I am all packed.  I think I have my luggage at the good weight.  I had to fix one of my

Have been doing a lot of thinking tonight.  I realize I can hold a grudge.  In my life, I have been abandoned by 2 mothers and a father.  However both mothers decided to come back into my life around the same time.  And it was a case of "let's forget about what was and there was nothing in the middle".  Everything is normal, we go on as if nothing happened.  Excuse me, but FUCK THAT.  I am not going to forget everything and just act like everything is normal.  I hate swearing, but there are a few times when it is warranted and this is one of them. Sorry for the rant.  It just really ticks me off that they expect me to be available when they decide to show up, like it's a family obligation.  There has never actually been a family situation. O.k. I have gotten it out of my system.  Deep breaths.  Relax.  Done. How are all my friends today?  Hope you are having a great week.  Just took Kayla for her walk.  We had a storm a little earlier this evening and when we we
