vacant

i woke at 4:22 in the morning after a very interesting dream, even though i was falling over in exhaustion i knew i'd better write that one down. this evening i re-read what i'd written and it made me laugh. not only was it an extremely peculiar dream, i'd also jotted it down in a very entertaining way. it cracked me up. i like "sleepy-stupor lesley", she's really funny.

i found it hard to follow the man in our mandatory pension plan presentation today. pensions are a very foreign concept to me, and i don't fully understand them. i know it has to do with money when you're old. as i sat in the front row (because all the other seats were taken) i grew increasingly drowsy and i wondered if "retired lesley" will be annoyed at "sleepy-stupor lesley" for not paying better attention in the pension meeting. well i suppose i'll just have to close my eyes and pin the tail on the donkey, then live with the results. here's hoping that "old lady lesley" will remember what it was like to be "bachelorette lesley" and forgive me if i make a bad decision. right now it feels like i'm trying to figure out which plan has less loopholes, then i'll pick that one.

i wonder if i'm enough of a "lady" to be able to pull off the shoulder bag. hmm.

will i be strong enough to live without?

hi Lesley! I heard you tried the evening primrose oil - how'd that go?

also - you should totally go to new zealand if you're going to be in Australia. Ok, I know, not exactly a stone's throw. I'm just trying to recruit Canadian visitors for the next 2 years. Not that you'd be visiting as a friend since that would be breaking your rules. . . no, we'll call it . . . a visit to your midwife. A check up! Cool?

:)

hey mianh! it's going very well. i'm so stoked, and very grateful to you for suggesting it. i'm so even-steven and not mood-swinging all over the place. it's great. thank you, thank you :)

i WAS thinking about stopping by new zealand, while i'm downunder. man, i'll spend so many days visiting places along the way that i'll probably only be in oz for 2 days! i'll figure some way of maximizing my time. it's not unheard of for people to take all their holidays at once, so i might just have to do that.

all your holiday eggs in one basket. That sounds kinda fun:)

Glad to hear it's helping:) When you run out of Evening Primrose, you might want to try Blackcurrant oil instead - same effective component, but less expensive (possibly harder to find too, which is why I suggested the EPO first).
