Wednesday

Aaaarrrrgggg.  Why do hot flashes always happen when it's warm.  Why can't they happen when it is -10?  Hate them now.  And it says they can hang around for 10 years.  I think I am on year 12 now.   They don't last long, but wow, uncomfortable.

Just saw a promo for this reality series called "Real Housewives of New Jersey".  Sick.  Not a show I would watch.  They are not real housewives.  Doubt they have ever picked up a dust rag in their lives.  Pathetic.

Just realized I am down to 40 days before I leave.  Really getting antsy.  Want it NOW.  Haha.  Can you tell I don't like to wait for things.

Nothing much happening.  Kids are driving me nuts back at school.  Especially the new ones.  How did they ever get to university?  Haha.

Have a great rest of week, my friends.

TTFN.

Sympathise with you. One of my girl friends has been going through this for about 4 years now. She gets all red and flushed in the face and says that even her legs feel all hot and sweaty. When I was in hospital in May this year my gyno did some blood tests on me and he said that they showed I had gone through menopause (even though I still bled) and asked if I had been having hot flushes. When I replied no he said well lucky you dear, if you haven't had any by now you won't be getting them. Not sure what I did to miss out on them. My mother had a terrible time having children (full hysterectomy at 31 and my brother was lucky to be born alive) but I just seem to have sailed through it all, no problems really. We had a program like that here, it was produced in Sydney. You should have seen these 'housewives'. Expensive clothes, facials, lunches out, jewellery everywhere. Definitely not housewives, they talked about the gardener and house keeper. Why do they make crap shows like that, who watches, not me. Doesn't take much to get to university here anymore and if you miss out from school you can do a six month intensive course that gains you entry as a mature age student. You have to be 20 (real mature) to do it. Thursday arvo here enjoy your day. Luv Julie xx

You are lucky. When I had my hysterectomy at 40, I was overjoyed. No more 15 day cycles. Noone warned me about the hot flashes. Never ends, does it? Although having Greg was a breeze. We have the same here, you have to be over 21 and out of school for at least a year to get in as a mature student. I did that. Problem is, I am not very good at math and every program I would have liked to take requires it. Oh, well. Have a great evening. Must be late there, I think around 11. Getting better at the time zone thing, haha.

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
