My days here are numbered..

Hahahahahah, well true as it may be, it's not filled with the demise it sounds to be. My days in the land PE-ness and South African soil are numbered. Yip, 5 sleeps (as an excited child might say) Who counts days these days anyway? If you're in the day things are gonna happen, the feeling living inside of you that day requires no further countdown. So yes, on Wednesday my sleeps will be over, and my flight will be ready.... I don't have anything exciting to talk about and anything I write I imagine will just piss everyone off coz I'll try talk about things of human interest and somehow it'll lead back to convo's of of my trip. I'm sorry, not much else is on my mind. What's going down though in this bit of time though, Quinsley and a couple of the guys are in Welkom, well - shortly arriving - for a mad event.. Can't wait to be a part of the next one, it's been far too long, what with work and travel etc of my own, these things kinda stand in the way, :/ Next time for sure though... anyway..... they're gonna have an insane time, pity not all hanging out my last weekend here, but while everyone's doing cool things, we must be happy for one another.. Good luck QS :) Speaking of cool things, dancing, oh my word.... got a corporate gig hooked up for few of the girls from class for an SAB event, and it went down very nicely. Big up to you guys.... love arranging that stuff and dancing too - when it comes to our rehearsals. Flip, and do we have rehearsals! So many happening now that it's tough keeping up, but ask me where I'd rather be than dancing in studio preparing for showtime.... nowhere.... honestly. It's my 'thing' dig it, nothing's gonna change that. barring, erm, old age and knee pain at some point, hahahahaha, whatevs, still long before that's a concern, I hope! :P 28 is looming.. but don't tell a soul. So yeah loads of dancing, planning for holiday and tying up work vibes - and going out with a Bang on the work vibes. A long cape town trip, which successfully came to a close yesterday. Now for the last minute errands and Dr 'hugs' to make sure all is in order before I say 'Thanks for your email with issues, it is welcomed.. but will only be tended to when I return from my Eiffel tower picnic in Paris, gondola ride in Venice, castle visit in Germany and all the amazing things I can't mention here due to you not giving a shit' But I'm getting it done..... and its Friday - which means packing vibes this weekend. Life is good.... very good... for now.  :) This I know, coz my mind tells me so.

It's not always easy..

Pumped

Excitement's running through my veins, so much so that I'm not sleeping through the night... It's either up super early or up in the middle of the night, and God forbid I try fall asleep once this happens. :/ Not concerned though, I'm convinced I sleep too much anyway, hahaha, I need to start using more of my time to literally do more. Good plan I reckon. We'll see how it goes, i'm sure that concept will be perfect for my holiday, whereas upon return I might be so keeshed, sleep is all I need! Even more exciting, Bron, my closest mate from school days is going to be the roof over me head and a mini tourist for 2 days before the tour starts. She has been begging me for yeeeears to come overseas and spend time with her, I am happy to say that any tiem prior to this probably wouldn't have been ideal, but the spaces and places we're both at now, I'm looking forward to it so much... and at least now I don't need to wonder around London like a lost child in a giant supermarket. Though that would be an experience in itself. But given the time I have there, I'd like to be guided for the most part. So ya, super keen and super ready for that! Works' crazy as expected, so many loose ends to tie up.... but I have booked my groupon voucher for a massage the day before I leave, so I can get on that plane with no tension..... anywhere! It was borderline expiring, so it seemed like perfect timing. Anyway nuf' nonsense talk... still counting down.... and I don't have any any pics of relevance for now that I care to share, but I have a couple cool ones nonetheless of things that still linger on my mind all the time.....

Look at THAT BIKE .........!! (not the chick...) hahahaha !

At long last... a sigh of relief

The stressful wait is finally behind me... now to sit back, and count down.. 14 days..

Awesome

Luxury of light

Ever imagined what it might be like to finish after a long day at work and go home to no light other than natural light, no heat other than the clothes on your back and how ever many blankets you may have, hot water to make a hot drink to warm you up or shower? Well this sounds quite familiar of the lifestyle of a vagrant... and day 3 of mine... yup, no electricity for 3 days now and counting. I have realised the definition of luxury and the importance of warmth in order to survive, because you can take TV and radio.. but warmth in these cold times.. motherfucker. I am close to my deathbed. Ok, well mildly exaggerated as per norm.. but you get the point.

Now this might be quite valiant if I were doing a charity outreach program or entertaining and informative - were this a fully operational documentary trying to allow others to envision the difference between how a suburban female might take to the fatal winter without any feelings in her hands and that of a rural somebody or other that has come to know his life this way. Well......... guess what? It aint a fucking documentary, and if it were for charity, I'd sure as hell like to be recognised for it, or at least get my name in small print somewhere noticed.

Not only do I not have a hot shower to get into, but I'm also sporting wild hairstyles, due to hair drying - au natural, and lets not even entertain the idea of hair straightening. :/ So I come to my office and enjoy the luxuries on heat, tea and light (and the internet) and am seriously contemplating camping out here tonight if there is no elec when the working day is over... Because I cannot take my contact lenses out in the dark one more night or stumble around by candlelight and potentially burn shit any longer... I'm a hazard like that. hahaha. Come on municipality get your shit together, I pay my rates and taxes, well minus the rates - it just sounds cooler when you say the whole thing... haha. Watch this space, if day 4 kicks in - the post might be a little less humorous. Though on the upside.... there's reason to light candles <3

Plug in and tune out

brrrrr

Wow, the cold has crept in........ winter's here, and its started with very little feeling in my fingers and a lot of shivering. On the up side, very soon I'll be feeling a bit of summer again on the opposite side of the world.. can't wait! Until then, I guess I'm just going to have the pump the heaters, drink copious amounts of tea and hope that these things keep me warm until I really feel warm again.
