And, because it's Friday that means it is time for Things I Know with Miss Cinders from Saturday Morning Ogre Mum.
This week I feel like I know so much it's hard to try to pick what to tell you about !!! Here goes :
- I know that I was extremely happy to get up at 5am this morning to go to the airport to pick up the old people who arrived safely home from South Africa. I always worry when they are there. It was soooooooooooooo good to see them.
- I know that I couldn't believe the amount of traffic on the freeway at that time of the morning - so much so that when we weren't stationary, we were only doing about 10kph. Thank goodness for having to go through customs otherwise we may have been a teeny tiny bit late.
- I know that there are thousands of parkings at the airport parking but when you get there at 6.45 after everyone has parked and flown out for the day - you have to drive up a fair few levels trying to find a parking.
- I know that they have skimped on the sizes of their parking spaces - we don't have a big car but if I had been any bigger I probably wouldn't have been able to get out of the car.
- I know that even though the light above the parking is green, it doesn't necessarily mean that the parking is available.
- I know that I have found (what appears to be from the quick look I have had) a great paleo blog.
- I know that, in the four stores I looked in last night, I could only find one paleo cookbook and when I opened it and had a look, it frightened me so I closed it, put it back on the shelf and hauled butt out the store.
- I know that there is going to be some adjusting happening in our home over the next couple of days as we get used to having K home and she gets used to not being "queen of her domain".
- I know that I am especially pleased that today is Friday which means tomorrow is Saturday and the next day is Sunday and that means I have more hours in the day when I can sleep.
- I know that Mrs Flannery's nearly lost me as a customer after taking 5 days to advise me whether or not I can take the adrenal support or not - who would have thought it would take that long ?
- I know that I am loving the V8 veggie juice.
- I know that my life is about to change in a big way and I am looking forward to it (there is nothing like a medical scare to make you take stock and change your priorities !!)
- I know that if the weather is miserable on Sunday I will probably pike on the colour run and just see my race fee as a donation to charity.
- I know that even if the weather is good, I won't be running the 5km.
Have the bestest weekend everyone and take care !
What do you know today ?

Lol I couldn't help but chuckle over the parking woes, but it's so true.
ReplyDeleteWe laughed about it on the way home - it was so funny at the time !!!
DeleteHave a great day.

Oh parking! Glad the old lovelies got home safe and sound, I'd worry too. Hope the weekend's readjustments go well and here's to change and renewal.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling a bit terrible at the moment which I why I just stopped this afternoon and set up the candles and flowers. Not feeling good nor feeling normal. Might try an early morning swim in the sea to cheer me up tomorrow... if it's sunny!
I thought that the candles and flowers were a great idea. I have got some really lovely smelling candles that I have been burning at night recently and I love walking in the room when they are lit.
DeleteHope you are feeling better by now - have the best day !

I know that I love coming here and reading such a positive happy post. I can already see the weight that you feel has been lifted from you with the news you received earlier. I am so pleased for you lovely.
ReplyDeleteSending some fairy wishes and butterfly kisses your way. Good luck with the colour run, I hope you go
Thanks Rhianna. Unfortunately (or maybe fortnately given how I felt after the 1.4km walk) the color run was cancelled because of the torrential rain on Saturday which was a pity as the weather was just beautiful on Sunday.
DeleteHave the best week !

You know, I have NEVER been to an airport to pick anybody up or drop them off. So I have no clue at all about parking there! lol
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear the old people arrived home safely. You can tell your brain to mellow out a bit now! Have they - the old people - any idea how much stress they cause you when they're off adventuring?lol
I know I wish you LOTS of luck having Miss K home again. A weekend away is enough for my kids to come home feral, K has been gone for ages!
So how IS the new diet going so far? I'm off chocolate again, it feels like I've lost a limb! Waiting for OgreDad to break, I know he will and then there will be chocolate again!
Have a fabulous week chicky!

LOL - yes, the old people know how much I stress - they just tell me not to worry !!!!
DeleteLifestyle change is going well - for some reason the fact that it may land up killing me as opposed to just losing weight seems to make it easier for me to make the right choices. I still have choc - only it is the 85% choc - 2 squares a day !!!
Have the best week !

You had me at traffic and parking - almost as irritating and warring children. Almost.
ReplyDeleteOh yes - they are definitely on a par !!
DeleteHave the best day !
