I havent posted in while, as some of my readers might have noticed (that is, if you havent left for greener blogs yet!). I’m not too sure why but I havent felt like blogging for some time now. I think I blogged about this a little while ago. I think maybe I put too much thought into my blogging, so from now on, my posts will probably be shorter and more concise. Actually, I blabber a lot, so I doubt it.

My latest news is that I resigned from my position at ASUS. The logistics of the position just didnt fit in with me. I wasnt too fond of working alone, and I think they need someone with a more business-orientated mind, rather than a hands on person like I am.

They were surprised when I resigned, but they were understanding. I felt bad because I was supposed to fly up to JHB this coming Tues, and plane tickets had already been booked, but I felt I needed to give them the option if they wanted me to come to JHB knowing I will be resigning afterwards or not. They chose for me not to come through, which I was relieved about (news follows about Wormy). I didnt want to go to JHB, do all this planning and strategising only to come back to CT and resign. That would’ve wasted everyone’s time. I do feel a lot lighter, though, as this job had started affecting other areas of my life. Anyway, now they’re on the lookout for someone new for Cape Town which I’ll be helping them with as much as I can until my last day on the 30th.

Gonna miss the bf who is going to JHB for rAge this year again

Some more news (and why I am relieved about not going to JHB) is about Wormy. Edit: after writing the Wormy-story, I felt it needed its own post, so click here for that post.

About a month ago the bf and I bought a dishwasher. I can hear some of you saying, “welcome to the wonderful world of technology!” or “sheesh, only now?” but let me tell you, I always hated dishwashers because when I was younger, it was my sister’s duty to pack the dishwasher and mine to unpack. Unfortunately the dishwasher always needed unpacking at the most inopportune times. Like when I was just about to watch TV, or just about to read a book, or go out or something. Mom was pretty strict that the dishwasher was not to sit with dishes inside it for days, so it had to be unpacked within an hour or so of it being done.

Anyway. So finally I caved and said, “ok, let’s buy a dishwasher” and we did. I can happily say I’m a changed woman! I love the dishwasher! And the best part, I get to pack it and the bf unpacks it! Yay! For weeks now, I’ve only had to do a select few dishes, as some things we dont put in the dishwasher. For example, knives from our Nikkai Titanium set cant go in because the gold stripe will fade off, as well as our highball glasses as the patterns are fading. But it’s been bliss, not having to wash dishes. Pure bliss.

Until it broke. Yes, not even a month old and it leaks water onto the floor. Its not the tap, we checked, it’s definately the dishwasher. So now, we cant use it because water is coming in from the tap but not entering the washer itself. The good news is they’re coming on Monday or Tuesday to look at it, since it’s still under warranty but the bad news is, as I type, I try not to think about the load of dishes we had to unload from the dishwasher that are now sitting in my kitchen waiting to be washed. Yes, you’re probably pulling a face and saying, “eww!” but I just cant bring myself to go back to washing dishes. To think, I survived years without a dishwasher, but now a week of not having one sucks!

It just sucks! I’ve become spoilt haha.

LOL it appears I was the only voter this week. Ah well, the next poll is about your Christmas shopping…please take a peek and vote.

Life has been so hectic lately, my new job draws near as the New Year approaches…and my poor Orlith has been so very sick with Head Tilt, but by the grace of God has pulled through! It’s been a very stressful festive season for me as I’ve been nursing her back to health with Baytril for the infection and Prednisone for the swelling of her one eye (from the infection underneath it). She also stopped eating for a while, so it was mashed potatoes, pronutro and rice for dinner and breakfast: all soft things to help keep her nourished.

On top of that, I went away for a much needed weekend (pics later) and V kept my babies for me while I was away. When I went to collect them, on the way home Orly suffered from heat stroke and after a frantic drive at 100km all the way (please dont let me have any speeding fines!) and a frantic phonecall, the bf had a bowl of tepid water at the ready when I got home. After an hour or two of keeping her in water, syringing Energade into her mouth for rehydration, she finally recovered but the head tilt was so pronounced and she couldnt even keep herself upright and kept falling over. It was so scary to watch and I felt so helpless, all I could do was cry and pray that she’d recover.

There are also two litters I’ve put myself down for next year, the mom is a wheaten burmese and the dad is a black eyed cream. They’ll be ready for adoption at the end of Jan. The next litter is due at the end of Dec, and are Husky rats, like my Ramoth was. I’m still indecisive about this litter, as I’m not sure if I’m ready for another Husky just yet, but I’ll see how I feel next year.

Christmas is almost here and I still have much to do. A few gifts left to buy, and then everything needs wrapping! I dont know what happened this year, but normally by now I’m done with gift buying and wrapping. Hell, usually I’m done by Dec 5th! Ah well, hopefully all will be done in time and I will destress soon.

And finally, my car repairs have been approved by the offender’s insurance, and my Bluebetty will be getting repaired soon. Yay! I was in another minor car accident the other day when someone drove into the back of me in bumper-to-bumper traffic. My bumper is dented and I had a bit of whiplash but I honestly have no time or energy to claim on their insurance. The guy was very nice about it though, and his car needs more work than mine, which he said he was happy about since it was his fault.

And that’s about it. Hopefully I’ll make another post before or on Christmas Day, but if I dont, please have a wonderful and safe Christmas!!

This Christmas song by Stevie Wonder really warms my heart and gives me a lump in my throat. Please do listen to the YouTube video-song!

Maybe, just maybe, one day we will indeed have a Christmas where no one is hungry or alone….
