Not wired up for the 6 am starts

Fortification - soy latte and savoury muffin.
It has been all go today.
I have managed to negotiate a later start to work tomorrow - my system can only handle so many 6 o'clock wake ups - I am not wired for 6am.
Have had so much criticism coming my way, unwell people, cranky people, stressed people.
Processing how I can do better with all this.
Time to go home...............................................

Family is all.

I am NOT enjoying this week at all.
It is hard to find satisfaction when progress seems minimal.
Things seem to be in total retrograde.
Looking forward to my time at Take Ten tonight for some meditation.
I don't want answers - cos there is no complete answer.
Right now I would trade my spot in a heartbeat to be winging it to London.
But that is many weeks away.
Looking in to investigating options on that side of the world.
Books sustain me,
friends support me,
my dog loves me,
- this I know,
my faith runs deep,
my family is all.
Thank you.

Spearmint Choc Top investigations

While sitting in the cinema a while back eating the said spearmint choc top, I felt like a nail hit one of my molars. Resulting in pain and the gradual realsiation I needed a visit to the dentist.
Something else to fit into my life.
I am finding it very difficult to write at home and don't have loads of time at work - being as I was acting manager for a week and things were needing to be done(!)
So here I am in the local library with 29 minutes to burn.
I have made a reservation for the double birthday dinner.
Jaz is 21! and Julian is 18 and at schoolies as we speak.
For Alphutte resturant on a set menu.
Grandma is coming and Jasmine's new boyfriend - David.
Have got practically no info on David other than he is a third year art student.
Need to do a proper invite and a further round of phone calls.
Travel - where is my passport??
Need to get passports sorted and further bookings made, plus cash passport.
This week it will all happen(!)
Program for Christmas festival - some fall out heard this morning following organizational blunder about using the hall, no doubt I will hear more about this.
King Lear - Are we speaking the same language?! I read a synopsis yesterday, which I should have read before the play.
Someone two computers down is talking as she is typing.
Also meant to be getting things ready for an AGM & BBQ next Sunday.
Invited to a housewarming tommorrow at Port Willunga.
November has almost slipped by with its Jacaranda's and hay bales, Valedictory speeches and record heat.
Final round of TV shows and reports that need to be written at work.
I guess it will all get done.

Willunga Christmas Tree Festival - record entries!

Christmas Tree Festival preparations are in full swing for 09.
This year there are so many new entries - Wow!
Children, families, businesses, wineries - I can't wait to see what people come up with.
I have also noted more collective input.
Thoughts about what to put on a tree - and how this fits in with what Christmas is about for them.
Giving to others is a theme that comes through louder and louder.
People who have been visiting and thought I would like to contribute.
One lady today has even offered to cook for the stall.
Radio websites etc are my next port of call.
Did some libraries yesterday - putting in fliers.
Will I be brave and call the Messenger?
It has been a lot of work in the past - and I wonder if it was really worth it.
Perhaps I will tell them that?!
Need to finalize the list of contributions this week.
Getting the 'girls' geared up for our meringue tree - will look divine I'm sure.
