Today is Tuesday, but my first day of work for the week, so it’s really my Monday. Monday’s are never usually a good day for me, but when I’m tired they’re noticeably worse. Also when I’m worried about things, work things for example, that can make for a long, unproductive day. But having a decision made to set things in motion to change my current situation makes me feel a little better.
Napoleon kitten is in love with my computer. He’s in love with the cursor, he’s in love with the text running across the screen as I type, and he’s in love with the menus that magically appear when I click on things. Also I think he just wants to be a part of whatever anyone is doing at that point in time that appears mildly interesting. He’s grown a lot since I first got him, but I thought he’d appear heaps bigger when we got back from the weekend away. He’s so soft and purry and beautiful.
Today I feel like staying home, sleeping, and reading. I’m reading Catch 22 at the moment, by Joseph Heller. Noelle is reading it as well, which is what inspired me to go buy it. She got her copy from the shelf at her work, because she was bored and had nothing to read on the train. When she was over at my place, she started telling me about it, and it sounded so weird that I had to get it. It’s so funny! And weird. Here is the Book-a-minute version of it (not that I agree with their summarisation of the entire thing, because I’m not even thinking about the anti-war aspect of the book, I’m just enjoying the odd conversations and ridiculous things everyone does and says.)
We’ve been at Yamba all weekend, and it rained for two & a half out of the four days we were there (Saturday, Sunday, and half of Monday). Still, on Monday Christian managed to get some nice shots of main beach, while the sun was shining for at little while. Also we drove to Grafton, and had a look at the Jacarandas in full bloom. We went to See Park. I haven’t been there in ages, and was trying to remember where it was. I didn’t remember it being right next to the Waterslide, but there were lots of things that surprised me about Grafton. The huge new Bunnings, for example, and the new Catherine McAuley College… I guess the kids won’t be able to sneak out to KFC anymore, or wag off and go to Shoppingworld!
