HAPPINESS IS...

Right, the craziness that is work has calmed down to a mere panic and I finally have some time to voice my thoughts and do a quick catch-up session. Right now, in this moment in time, I am happy. I have been happy for a whole week, I haven’t cried once and have managed a quiet equilibrium. I’m rather proud of myself, as is my head doctor, so now all I have to do is find a way to maintain in the long term.

I have been running a lot lately too, a crazii bunch of us got together on Saturday morning at sparrows to run 46kms, it was awesome! It was the most amazing mental head rush I have ever had. To finish off on the beach in Hout Bay and run into the ice cold water knowing my little stick legs have just carried me from Hout Bay through Newlands, Constantia, Kalk Bay, Fishoek and back was something else! Not withstanding the mental boost it gave to know that actually all I have to do now is run an extra 10kms and Oceans is totally under the belt!

I unfortunately also managed to break The Chef’s heart again seemingly in the way I do best. By being completely crazii, nonsensical and all round as nutty as a bag of peanuts. He seems to agree with that synopsis as well and although there were tears, this time round I at least managed to keep my comedy of errors under wraps. That was last Sunday, so no tears since then. I’m totally giving myself a Noddy badge.

The GBF has been wonderful and treated a bunch of us to Goldfish at Kirstenbosch yesterday. It was a truly wonderful day of good friends, champagne and much laughter. The heat was near unbearable and within 30 minutes Kirstenbosch started looking very much like a Nudist colony with bare chests and teeny tiny bikini’s all round. Not that I’m complaining mind, there were a number of extremely good looking eye candy’s strutting around to complement the champagne just perfectly!

But alas, here I sit on Monday morning losing body mass as we speak due to the amount of water escaping my body and trying to devise a plan to teleport myself into the pool! I'll let you know how it goes. I’m not hellavu confident but I have to try something to keep my mind from melting onto the floor with the rest of my body!
