It's been a long day - Can you tell?!

Never a dull moment in the life of anyone with an ounce of passion, right?! Lol. This last week+ has been an absolute shit show, an emotional rollercoaster and also simultaneously a really positive shift in gears (if I am honest).

Went away for a week with family… yay! Grab your safari hats, open your mouths for cocktails and take photos of like ten thousand moments you will unlikely ever look at on your phone again. Don’t get me wrong, it was an awesome time - for the most part. What I mean, is… if I wasn’t the overly “thinking and feeling” individual I am - it would have been just SUPER… but alas, I am forever stuck with those “demons” - as some may call them.

For me, thinking and feeling so deeply is probably my greatest blessing. However, I am frequently faced with individuals who are so emotionally and consciously shallow that I am made to feel like my depth of perspective is a problem. I have one word for that and them… EISH!

“Eish” as much as I like - unfortunately, it does not change anything about another's perspective - and I am more okay with this than I thought I would be.

I love how maturity offers this sweet, kind of comfort where absolutely ZERO FNCKS are given any longer… and I feel quite privileged to be a part of the mid 40’s club now… not that I have any actual friends - because, well… people suck for the most part and I have better things to do with my time than squander it on them and those who would unlikely even remember that one line I said to them when they did meet me.

Oh look! My Cape Honeysuckle is flowering! Now there is something worth savouring. Give it water and alas, a bloom… no, not just one - an entire orchestra of those beautiful orange little trumpets!

Seven days away and I came home to be greeted with a power problem. An electrical box which had been propped up by a stick (thanks to a local) after a Cape Storm approx. two years ago, was FINALLY being changed… I was happy - WAS!!!! This was Friday late. Saturday morning started with a nice 280V electrocution from my kettle, lol. I am convinced the only reason I am still here is because I had my right hand wrapped around the plastic handle and my left was gripped around the smaller metal “water access” lid.

The only reason the electrocution stopped was because the little lid in my left hand finally detached from the kettle itself. It was fun! I don’t even begin to assume knowing what those geniuses did, but everything in my house that was supposed to be earthed… was live lol.

Happy days! - Five, to be specific. Not to add that on the afternoon we arrived home, before I knew about all the electrical incompetency… I had asked the man of almost 13yrs in my life to leave. Oh, and this was on Valentines Day, lol. Pales by comparison Oscar, I know… but each to their own. It was truly a FML day - which turned into a FML week truthfully.

Life has a seriously twisted sense of humour, doesn't it?! All I needed at that point in time was to be distracted by “being busy” - but no, EISHKOM said FNCK YOU… you WILL sit completely ALONE with your thoughts and LITERALLY nothing else to do for the next 4 days. Agh! It wasn’t that bad… twitch twitch, haha! Life moves on. Adapt or die. As you can see, I am adapting ;)
