Blurry
recollections of June..
2 June
A snow [sick] day..
Minus the snow. Got dressed for work, nixed it, and dove under covers
fully clothed, coat included. It smelled of smoke and braai.
3 June
Stranded between
Grootfontein and Otavi for fours hours wrangling a shredded lorry
tire. Men of the world.. If you are going to refuse assistance,
please loosen the nuts on the wheel hub before you jack up the cab.
We women will judge you less harshly.
5 June
Committed grand
larceny... Or at least aided and abetted. It was delicious, so they
tell me, am not fond of chocolate. Felt guilty immediately. Still
disposed of evidence.
Other surprises as
well..
6 June
Eleven people on two
twin beds shoved together. Top night. Freezing cold top night.
7 June
Chicken Fried Kudu,
and a multitude of beers and ciders waiting for the combi at
Mururani. Disposed of the evidence before they pulled in at the shop. E—
sang Michael Jackson waaaay too loud during drive back through the
bush. We weren't covert after all.
8 June
Every Sunday is like
the last day of summer vacation. I try to mentally compel the earth's
rotation to sloooow down and allow me a few more hours.
11 June
Crisis. Red Alert.
Programs vital to my PC failed after downloading new CAB files. 88%
downloaded into fix and re-install - lost internet access. Lost
progess. Lost all files. Lost mind. I wasn't so much eating my
feelings as carb and dairy loading to make my body leaden and weaken
into someone who didn't have the impulse to throw her pc against the
wall. Saved, sort of, by Libre Office. Still waiting to judge until
have downloaded updated version. I miss my 'Normal' template. Margins
just so.
16 June
Three day weekend
about to end.. Earth stop spinning, earth stop spinning (but don't
fling me into space)..
19 June
It seems no one like
tests. Or reading their notes to prepare for said tests. Children of
the world united.
20 June
Played 'stick or
snake' on the drive through the bush. It was a snake. It's always a
snake. P— turned the car around just to prove it.
21 June
Dog eaten shoes. Not
mine, but worse than the time little kids stole my socks from my
purple plaid high-tops outside the tent at that one UNESCO world
heritage site.. Or the 'cow' that 'stole' the fish. Damned kids.
23 June
First opportunity in
eleven months to have sushi. Inhaled massive order in under five
minutes.
29 June
Forget Romeo and
Juliet. Greatest love-story of all time: Groundhog Day.
