In absentia...

It feels as if the world has passed me by this last week. I have no idea what my blog buddies have been up to. I have no idea what the latest Chucky jokes are and by the way, what is that all about? I feel as if I have lost the plot somewhere. I have been so busy at work and work and home. I don’t think this thing with holding down 2 jobs is working for me. Tuesday was a public holiday and I didn’t even have the time to sit back and relax for a couple of hours. As I mentioned before, I have 2 jobs now and the second job is not paying as well as the first, but boy is this man keeping me busy. Out of the goodness of my heart and because I am always stupidly not wanting to hurt another’s feelings, I went ahead and told him I would help him. I even dropped my rate I normally charge. Now, just before some of you get the wrong idea, this “work” does not involve sex. I’m a pretty darn good accountant if I might say so myself. I have the ability to sort out other people’s messes and implement systems that work. I spent all of 2 days just trying to explain to him what his filing system should look like. He is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. The staggering thing is that he is making an extreme amount of money and after finalizing his year end accounts, I have realized that he can afford to pay me more than I even asked. The problem is that I rush to work in the morning and finish at 13h00 and rush to his offices and rush home to get home in time for the nanny to leave. Then I have to make supper, bath the little ones, spend time with them and before I know it, I’m asleep on the couch in front of the television.

I have been to the gym all of 6 times this last month. It just isn’t worth it. I have been working out so well. I had my routine sorted and now it is all messed up. I have convinced the owners at the gym to open at 7 in the morning. I managed to get there 4 times this past 2 weeks. Either I will have to start taking drugs to get me awake and keep me awake to do all that is needed or I will have to quit something.

The good news is that I bought myself a little car and I am so happy with it. She drives like a dream and even though she is a 2000 model, she purrs like a kitten. I had an alarm and central locking installed yesterday. It is a Fiat Palio Weekend. She is officially the fourth car I have owned in my life. It is a wonderful feeling to be so mobile again.

I will be catching up on all your news over the weekend and hopefully next week won’t be so hectic and I can keep up to date again.
