Fffrrrriday!

Load shedding affects my sleep as well. Even when the power goes off and on while I'm 'asleep'. This morning, I woke around quarter to seven! And I went to bed early - courtesy of load shitting. I had cleared my mind of all work-worries. I had watched two reunion shows - one for Buffy, one for Angel - during load shedding. And I had changed to a different audiobook - one I also know very well, so it wouldn't buzz my mind.

And yet, I woke up late. And I woke feeling groggy. Coffee soon dissipated the groggy feeling ...

What I haven't mentioned before, is, that my aunt has sent me another gift! Same amount as last year - only, the exchange rate is more in my favour now, so ... it just arrived, and I'm so excited! I'm so relieved - given my current financial constraints ... and I'm indulging several fantasies!

Just fantasising, though. No more. 

One of my fantasies involved my favourite chocolate treat: Peanut Butter Cups! They are absolutely divine! And that is a low-cost fantasy, so I can actually indulge ... and then a freaky thing happened! I received mail that a delivery is on the way! Huh? I have not even so much as opened their website, yet ... some careful checking ... they're talking about delivering an order I placed, paid, AND RECEIVED 8 months ago!

Well, I've written back, asked for verification - and IF a delivery really is en route, I'm happy to pay. If not, I will be placing an order shortly.

Here's one of my favourite meme's - it always makes me laugh:

My mippies have a similar approach to 'loving' my plants!

Back at home ... complete change of behaviour! No project, no gardening, I did none of the things I would normally do on a Friday. Instead, I sat down with a cookbook and read! A meat cookbook ... and I have some interesting ideas buzzing around my head now!

When the power came back, I had difficulty extracting myself from the mippies-and-me puzzle on my bed, then turned on the PC, turned on my audio book ... and struggled to find space for myself in the bed again.
