My good day out

Well today I had a day out (a bit of a rarity for me these days)!!!
I went into the city today to meet up with my cousin for lunch. Now that might not sound too special, but I only got back in contact with her last year after not seeing her or hearing from her in about 7 years, just due to different problems and being very busy on both our parts.
Anyway, we've only been able to meet up 2 times before today, and I've been kind of bugging her for a couple of months now wanting to meet up with her. Unfortunately her work means she often can't plan to have lunch because she doesn't know if she'll be able to leave work, and on the weekends she is so busy catching up with other stuff, and her friends are always asking her and her partner out, so she can't do much on weekends either!!
Well, she was finally able to work out stuff with work to be able to leave for an hour or so for lunch, so I went into the city to see her!!!
I was so happy that we could meet up, because she is my favourite cousin and also a very good friend, and I love her to bits!!! (Luckily the feelings mutual!!)
So even though I am a bit tired now, and I know I'll be more tired tomorrow (and quite possibly sore as well!!) I have to say that it was truly worth any pain and tiredness!!!
She said that she's going to have to try to come out my way soon!!! Hey I could have a little dinner party.....maybe we could get takeaway??!! :P
When we're together we don't do anything that special, but just being able to see her is so great for me....stops me from feeling like I don't get to see anyone!!! And we just talk about everything, like what I've been doing at Tafe, my family, her family, what she's doing at work (she's in research and just started her Ph.D!!!)
So all up, a very good day, and now I want to do it all again!!!

Ah, the holidays.....

Don't get me wrong, I like Tafe a lot, but I'm so glad to be on holidays for 3 weeks....mind you, it's late in the first week off and I haven't done anything other than usual stuff so far....also, it's been raining like mad, which does make doing anything special or going anywhere a bit hard....oh well, I'm sure I'll find something to do...I've got to start making things with my beads, I gathered them all up the other day and discovered exactly how many beads I have, and that I don't need to buy anymore!!! Except for if I start selling things I make out of them, then I'll have to buy more beads to replace the ones I've used!!!
Feeling a bit "icky" lately, just all over not feeling well. Especially tonight...Usually I'm sitting up until at least midnight, but tonight I've had to lie down and have my laptop with me to do stuff.
Still no luck with finding any work at a vet clinic....maybe things will start to pick up soon...
And I need to make some major purchases....like a new bed (why are they so expensive??!) and find a computer...but I doubt I'll be buying a new one of those.....leasing one, maybe, but not buying....I'm not sure if I can even afford to buy a used computer....they're expensive too these days, at least if you want a computer that can do more than type a letter!!
One good thing that might happen though; I might start to groom some horses that are agisted on some land fairly close to where I live (ok, 20-30 minutes away!!), and if all works out, I might even be able to start riding, and properly, so I can re-find those muscles that I used to occasionally have!!! Yay!!!!
Anyway, I'll try to keep this updated more than I have been....my computer is so slow it takes it awhile to get things done!!!
