Thursday

Struggled to get motivated to get out of bed, but still left for work relatively early. Early enough to get to work well on time.

Only ... it took me an hour and a half! Most of that time spent on Soutpan road! Police were along the side of the road, but they clearly didn't mind all the drivers passing us in the on-coming traffic lane! Solid white line - so they couldn't see oncoming traffic, but just took a chance and hoped ... and when they see traffic, they force themselves into the queue - with no regard who they push off!

90 Minutes! For a 20 minute trip! I read there were taxi's barricading the road, blocking all traffic ... obviously, by the time I reached the location, it had been cleared. Or I wouldn't have been able to reach it ... 

Yeah ... better shut up, now.

I got so busy, I almost forgot to get groceries! Didn't get much, though - meat, carrots, milk and the new Gardener. Cigarettes are still a problem - fourth week in a row!

Well, at least it's obvious why I'm happiest at home, eh? Even with Mister Piddles in active mode! Yesterday he left a piddle in the kitchen ... the day before, he marked my garage door again. In the lounge. I've been washing the floor piece by piece this week! With only a moment's irritation - all Mewly has to do is come running at top speed and jump up against my leg - his way of hugging me - and nothing matters! Each mip has its own way of erasing all negativity with their cuddle attacks. Although it sometimes gets too much ...

Back at home, chores, dinner, cuddles ... I'm just so tired ... it's been a whole week at work. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!
