ROFL Mari.

Indeed, it is still the 23rd at the moment, even my side of the ocean. But if we consider the long weekend Sat-Sun-Mon as a single entity, then you can get away with calling it the 25th How's that logic for ya?

i was up (at only 11am) and had just got dressed and fed before heading to the P.O. when my parents called me back in the nick of time from the elevator saying the P.O. has changed hours. it is now only open until noon (used to be 12.30. grrrr). well. saved me a trip. i only had to pick up something.

this weekend i will attempt to write a letter back to my soul-sister and then re-attempt the P.O. on Monday (not public holiday here). then i will have to get there by 2pm which is when the P.O closes on weekdays. Why can't semi-state offices here have NORMAL business hours. grrr. By NORMAL i mean ... like, 9-5 ISH, crikey, at least on weekdays! ok, i suppose what i really mean is NORMAL by US standards (which is standard for me). grrrrrr.

other than that nothing different. i will try to do a bit of clearing up. my area looks like a hurricane hit it.

if i can get past the psychological resistance to my environment i would like to sing some this weekend. perhaps even take the guitar outside and see if i can find a fairly lonely corner (not easy - people everywhere). i dunno. big if. but i woke up from a dream where i was singing The Spy Who Loved Me by Carly Simon, in a very pure, clear, high voice. The dream reminded me that i do have one of those that needs to be exercised.

At 3.00pm today my usual appointment with Hercule Poirot on tv. not sure if it will be a single 2 hour episode or two 1 hour ones. after that, at 5pm is MONK! yeah! hopefully i will be able to enjoy it this week...

i am in better spirits than last weekend. last weekend when i watched those same shows it was actually exhausting and i barely appreciated it.

that's about all the plans i have. oh yeah, i will wash my big fluffy blanket if the washer doesn't get taken over by my competitor before she leaves the house. i do not intend to compete overtly (i.e. argue). i will just wait... in ambush... for the washer to be free. whenever that may be.

that's it for me.
