it's been five days since i posted...

which is not like me but there has been a STACK of stuff going on...

so i was sick, and i guess i say was in a hopeful kind of way - i'm still not 100% and find myself now trying to wean myself off the nurofen (which i was taking like they were smarties) in the hope that the headache (and/or whatever is causing it) will take care of itself...suffice it to say, it's not working exactly but i am slowly starting to feel better

then there's the fact that the weekend was a big one! not in terms of late nights, lots of alcohol, no nothing like that! more like it was the weekend that ben and i decided to introduce each other to the respective 'parents'....good thing is it went well and all the anxiety that had been building up turned out (as i knew it would) to be for no good reason! i'm relieved! this is someone i really really like and taking him home was as big a step as i've taken for well over a decade...am now pleased to say that my mother is no longer in denial - not only did she introduce ben as 'my boyfriend' on saturday night but she said it on the phone tonight when telling me about a conversation she had with another lady who was there...

the other really cool thing that happened (and you already think i'm insane or sport obsessed, or both) is that the blues posted their 3rd win for the season (they've won 3 and lost 4) which doesn't sound that great really, but since they only managed 3 wins in the entire 2007 season, it's looking kinda good! juddy was fabulous and it's great to see nicko back in some sorta pre injury form - go blues!

work is completely out of control - being out of the office for 4 consecutive days is not exactly the way to have a good monday - if there is such a thing, which i'm sure there is not! i got to work to find 9 voicemails (which is good, except that late thursday afternoon when i logged in there were 19...) and in excess of 150 emails...can you hear me groaning out loud? so it was a very very very busy day which given the news i got from ben around lunchtime was probably a good thing :-(

spoke to one of my dearest friends today as she had been silent for over a week...turns out she and her husband had a big fight last week and she toughed it out on her own...thinking of you babe (as always) and want to let you know that even though i know sometimes we wanna work through things on our own, i am ALWAYS here for you :-)

thinking of another of my good friends who i haven't spoken to in ages and made a mental note to call her now that pesach (passover) is over - i didn't even know it was coming up so i guess i felt bad about that as normally i wouldn't let it pass by (no pun intended) without calling/seeing her :-(

so now i'm left wondering if since i met ben i have become one of those bad friends that nobody ever hears from or whether in fact everyone is just really busy right now??? i hope it's the latter...
