My part time job – taxi

I am running the son to Jeeralang today. I used to hear parents complain about running their kids around and dismissed it. I never realised how time consuming and interupting it is. A parent should be able to ‘just say ‘no” but in reality you are then stuck with a long faced teenager behaving like a two year old. It is emotional blackmail. It works effectively for them as it did for me when I had the services of my parents. Actually my kids are pretty good really. They walk around town to many of the places they have to go and although they sometimes complain about this, most of the time they accept it as reality.

Henna Powder, reading and lack of chocolate…


I have bought some henna powder. I remember back in the early nineties I used henna to color my hair. It wasn’t grey then so I wonder how it will go. I know, all this obsession with hair is so unlike me. I wonder if the moon is in Leo or something, thus affecting my hair concern.
I have been continuing to enjoy my reading and have a pile of books that are distracting me from corrections. I really do find reading an effective way to cut off from stress. I love it.
I have ran out of chocolate tonight. I usually have a stash somewhere. The only chocolate in the house is Andy’s dark chocolate Bilby that he has hoarded since Easter. I want to eat it …. it might go off!! I won’t though because I respect others chocolate boundaries. I mean I couldn’t very well scoff the bilby down and then expect that my own stashes would remain safe. I mean it is a fragile trust we all have with our individual pockets of chocolate.

I really ought to be correcting……

Ooh I found the Jedi Series funny. Yep, these are the kinds of things I do with my time when I should be doing mounds of correction…… Oh but this is really funny. Watch it and cry.

Can’t say what happened to episode 2, but I promise, when I find it, I’ll bring it to your attention. Ahhh procrastination, such a lifelong habit, difficult to break.
