rdfreakI've got chocolate! this is good stuff; swiss chocolate Dad bought me back from Dubai; it's just sooooooo niiice! :) Anyway hop to my week of last.
Last weekend was great. B came over and it was the first time him and dog met Joy; they all got along very well!
Monday Joy and i met Jane at Flinders, and we went over some of my leisure routes; to Hayges, to that Flinders Street station subway entrance i use in degrave street, to Timeout (in fed square). Joy just blew me away with her city work; just absolutely awesome stuff!
Jane and I shared a plate of chips at timeout and I had a smarty cookie and a lovely chat. Then I went home and just relaxed for the remainder of the afternoon.
Tuesday afternoon I thought I venture to Boxhill on my own to see if we could do our routes OK; we did I'm pleased to say and it was a great feeling since I'd never really been able to get from A to B in shopping centres before. But on our way back from DickSmith's we ran into problems; silly thing was, it was just one little area; I simply couldn't find this slope I used as my landmark. Fortunately a juice Bar is a good landmark, but from there on, I'd lost our slope. Anyway, I persisted, but it only led to my getting awfully teary as I got so upset and frustrated. Someone ended up walking me back to the station, and I went home feeling sad and sorry for myself.
I did call Jane though and she told me not to bee to hard on myself as Joy and I have done so so well with everything else, and Boxhill is so hard.
Wednesday though, Jane took me and my cane only back to Boxhill and walked me over everything again. She helped me discover where I was going wrong, so I am happy now. will prob attempt it again sometime next week. Anyway as it was 39 that day, I didn't do much else for the remainder of that day.
Thursday was a nothing day. It was a lot cooler; in fact I got caught in a storm in the afo. I was halfway to the shops when it pelted down, so decided in the end I should probably just turn around and go home. Joy was racing; bless her! a lot different from Heartly who just walked very slowly in rain, Lol!
Yesterday morning Dad landed back here after leaving Dubai wednesday. Nan ended up coming over for the day as we would be meeting them for a family dinner that night. So Nan helped me out with some housework, including my shopping which was very handy, as usual.
Yesterday afo at about 4, Nan drove us over to parents place where we met up with heartly and Joy met Ruby for the first time. they appeared to be playing quite well, but Ruby being the typical cautious Chihuahua would snap (noise only) when Joy got too close. Anyway during the meal, Ang went to feed Ruby some spaghetti (that dad made) as she doesn't eat normal dog food, and Joy got a bit close and got bitten on the nose. she let out a huge yelp which had me extremely concerned and cursing at Ruby. But Joy was fine and even got a lick on the nose after that by Ruby and they started really playing again and now they're best friends.
Heartly was the old wise one watching fromn the corner.
Joy had been wandering off outside and really exploring her Grandparents home.
I was told last night that Heartly has a sore eye, but I made an appointment for the Vet this morning which Mum will take her too. I had insisted that I would still be responsible for Heartly's vet bills (maybe even her food); it's the least I can do. I do hope she's OK.
Dad gave me my little acer back last night, which is working brilliantly again.
And later on, Joy and I will be off to B's; first time for Joy.
So I've written a novel and that's about all.
I feel really christmasy now and at peace with the world, and I must say .. finally. Everything is going well in my life for once, and once i find out more about my new job, even better.
Good and fun times! yeah, and did I mention I have swiss chocolate? :)
