Sunday Hues

Finally I have time for myself again. Was working like crazy this week and after work I had no energy left to write anything. Even though I went to work today as well, I finished up early. Hope the bossman is happy.

I can't say that I really felt depressed this week. I did actually crave a drink about four times, but did not do anything about it, so I'm still clean. Goody, I deserve a noddy badge. Found that sarcasm is a great defense mechanism, but shouldn't overdo it.

I can't wait for Easter weekend!!! Firstly, my friend from Cape Town is coming up for a visit!!! Woo-hoo!!! And we will be going to Swakopmund for a couple of days...Will do me wonders to get away for a while. I realised that even if I feel like I don't have time to write, I should do it anyway, since it is the best way to get rid of sadness and depression without hurting anyone, including myself.

And I should really start studying. There are no excuses left and I REALLY want my degree at the end of this year. Hopefully it will open some doors for me to start getting experience in the psychology field. I don't want to work in accounts forever. That will make me completely and utterly bonkers.

I've had my share of bad news this week. Two of my friends from rehab fell off the wagon and are drinking like it is going out of fashion. Fortunately it is not the end of the world. Hopefully they will both realise why they are trying to destroy themselves and start working on it. All I can do is pray for them and encourage them to face whatever they have to.

My mom's cat died on Saturday. She was very old, but my poor mom is very sad. She adored that cat and the cat adored her. Now she has to cope with my two crazy and energetic cat-mongrels running around. Fortunately they are lovable.

Ha ha, I wonder what Andre will say when he reads this...he had a blog-bitching session about people who blog about their cats...and here I go as well!!!

I'm a little jealous of my Capetonian friend. She seems to have found herself a man, and I'm STILL single. But, she deserves all the happiness life can give her and more. I just wish it will happen to me too, but I know deep down inside that I have way too many issues that any man will want to put up with, and as "they" say, you have to be happy with yourself first...

Anyway, I am going to relax for the rest of this wonderful and rainy Sunday. Maybe make some pancakes, we'll see, cook some dinner for the folks and just really relax.
