as i opened up my blogger account this morning, my log registered that i'd last posted on the 21st of april. oi. my bad dear ones - i know i have left it late, and i have no other excuse but to say it was pure laziness... *ahem*... i do do apologise!
on the up side, i'm EMPLOYED!! a real job with a real contract and a real salary! how cool is that! the company is called Hi-Performance Learning (www.hpl.co.za) and it's a type of training company that deals with long term learning solutions - somewhat on an organisational development level. it's interesting work, and i'm really grateful for it, however i do recognise that it is a stepping stone to where i want to be ultimately - studying for my masters!!!
so, this is my story. madame fifi rises at 5am (bright and somewhat breezy), leaves home by 6 (although this is rarely the case). arrives at work (traffic permitting) at 7:15 ish and leaves work at round about 4pm. i gets back home at about 5:30ish, put my feet up for a while and get cracking in the kitchen. all going to plan - i'm in bed by 10 - latest 10:30!! phew! what a day!
no complaints - i'm learning so much! i'm learning about what i want in life, how far i can push my boundaries, organisational skills, multitasking - shucks, the list could go on and on!!
ba (mum) is doing ok. she had a hysterectomy exactly 3 weeks ago - and is recovering well. last night, i almost killed her - forgot why she was in bed and pounced on her belly - oh god. you have no idea what an absolute idiot i felt like. after lots of gentle rubbing (yes, i am capable of gently rubbing) and kisses and coo's, everything settled down. but not after i had given myself the fight of my life and promised to keep my hands, knees, elbows, toes and any other protruding body part away from the vicinity of ba.
ta, i should run now - procrastination is a wonderful thing - but not so wonderful in an officeful of people.
adieu dear ones...
