Waiting

I am wishing my life away.
All I seem to be doing is waiting for something to end and
rushing into the new activity only to discover that I am waiting
for that to end as well.
I am waiting forthe day at my work to end
people to drive faster or to get out of my way
for the light to turn green
for the kettle to boil
for the wine to freely flow.
I have been waiting for my sons to grow up and
now I am waiting for them to come home.
I am waiting for my boys to call or to come around and to give me a hug.
I am waiting for the checkout chick to speed up
and for the old lady to hurry the F.. up.
And than I am waiting, stuck in the traffic, wishing I was more patient and more understanding.
And one day the day will come, when I will be waiting for the End.
And that will be the moment I will look back with regret and wish
I had enjoyed the moments while I was waiting for something to end.

I did it - No TV for 8 days

I did it. 'Survived' 8 days without TV! Ok, I cheated a bit and spent a bit of time (actually quiet a bit of time) on Facebook but it was mainly for 'research' purposes. 😜 My evenings were filled with: 🇦🇫socialising with other backpackers, 🇦🇽going for beach walks with my husband, 🇦🇱taking photos of the full moon, 🇩🇿catching up with our son and asking him 1000 questions 🇦🇸continued on my embroidery 🇦🇩read two books 🇧🇼went to bed early Yes I admit I spent a bit of time using my IPad and on Facebook.  🇦🇴But even there I made some friends, learnt something new, 🇦🇮made plans for the days ahead, 🇦🇬found a couple off apps that are relevant to our son 🇦🇹learnt something new about the Pad Time to go home and slot back into reality. Find out who is still on Survivor, what Brook and Ridge are doing and see what insanity is happening around the world. Have I missed watching TV? In one word - NO I read the paper, listened to the radio and focused what was clos...

All by myself

My three Musketeers, One is in Brisbane One is in Bali One is in Boronia And I am all by myself.  Once upon a time, a couple of years ago I would have sold my kidney for a quiet night on the couch by myself, the TV and two glasses of wine. So why I am whining now? Because... I won't see the one in Brisbane till November I won't see the one in Bali for 10 days And I won't see the one in Boronia for 14 hours. So I have to be very careful what I wish for because the Universe always gives me what I am asking for. But I didn't factor in missing pieces of my heart and the quiet echoing through my mind. I think I will have the third glass of wine and wait for the sun to rise.

One more Sleep

One more sleep and I will be on my way. I will be flying across the vastness of this land to see one of the pieces of my heart. One more sleep - I am counting the hours. The plane is booked, my bag is packed and cameras are charged. The excitement is growing and the butterflies in the pit of my stomach are wildly fluttering. I am only one sleep away from taking him into my arms. Only one sleep away from seeing him and observing how much he has grown, changed and matured. Once there, I will be counting how many sleeps I have till I have to say goodbye to him again. Every night's sleep will be begrudgingly surrendered to my tiredness because I don't want to miss a minute with him. Every moment is special and to be stored in the depths of my memories for it to be pulled out and analysed at a later date. And than the cycle begins once more. Counting how many sleeps till I can see him again. But at the moment I am fo...
