I got up this morning with my day mapped out. I was to head up the coast to the beach with McSeen to enjoy her Christmas Family Reunion (this happens every year). I headed to the kitchen and peered out the window. It was pissing down and not a sun ray in sight. Of course I thought to myself 'why drive all the way up the coast with shitty weather like this', so I decided to stay in the comfort of my bed. This kind of overcast sky is what I call 'baby making weather'. My husband questioned my plans and I told him I wasn't going. I don't like the beach unless it's hot as hell, and the water is warm. My husband quickly invited me on a date! He'd decided that we were going out for a healthy brunch then off to the movies. I didn't complain, but I knew by the time we got to the movies, he would conk out on me and fall asleep (he always does). Somehow he managed to stay awake (I was shocked).
During the movie I got a message from my Best Fag Friend, asking what I was doing and if I wanted to do lunch with him and his new boyfriend, I explained that I was already at the movies with my hubby (who doesn't care much for my best fag friend and certainly wouldn't want to go to lunch with him and his "boyfriend")
My best fag friends knows this, and text back that we should have "doubled dated"......I nearly lost it. What a funny buggar.
I quickly moved into reschedule mode and made plans for Tuesday. I can't make any plans for Monday because I'm scheduled to work a 12 hour day shift. O JOY!!
Christmas is well and truly over when you have to go back to work. Luckily for me work is like a vacation too (with meal breaks ever 2 hours, so no complaints from me on this one). My biggest problem is staying awake and not taking a 'Nana Nap', that way I can head to bed early tonight. It probably won't happen and I'll be up all night and wind up completely exhausted at the end of my shift tomorrow but I'll deal,,,, I always do!
I logged on to Facebook and read my friends daughters post saying that she was at work waiting for her mum to finish. I quickly glanced at the clock, it was 315pm. if I hurried I could make it to KK before she went home (if I had realised earlier that Ling was working today I would have been camped out in the dinning room, lol). I grabbed my handbag and flew out the door, yelling back over my shoulder to my husband that I was going to see Ling at KK. I don't think he believed me because of my earlier text MSG with my best fag friend.....I'm sure he thinks I planned to meet him......but I didn't plan it.....not until I was zooming down the road towards KK. I figured 'what the heck, send him a text invite'.
I arrived at KK just in the Nick of time. Ling was just about to leave. We gave each other Happy New Years hugs and kisses and had a quick conversation. I've missed her over these holidays!!
My best fag friend and his boyfriend arrived and I quickly introduced him as the Penrith Parasite. Ling had her kids waiting to go home so she couldn't stay. :-(
I broke down and ordered a small aka regular Vanilla Chai, with skim milk of course. I'm was sadly disappointed 1. In myself for ordering it (I've abstained for 3 weeks and 4 days until now) and 2. Because it tasted like shit!!
My best fag friends boyfriend told me that when ever he gets a shitty coffee at KK Penrith they joke that someone "slow" must have made it and call it a "Forrest Gump Coffee" I found that fuckin hilarious cause there are a lots of Forrest Gumps working at KK Campbelltown, none of which I hired.......ROTFLMAO!!
