Time.....

Where does time go?
Im pretty sure the older im getting the faster its going.
Last night was Halloween.My favourite night of the year..did a few spells and cast them out into the night with a hope that they work.
Today im starting a creative writing course..i figured it would help with the journalling on my scrapbooking if nothing else.Oh and you get free coffee and cake so its worth going just for that.
Im currently reading Terry Pratchett's Wintersmith..its a very entertaining read but lacks meat in my opinion.Im more your crime fiction reader so this book is so easy to plod thru without thinking too much and funny in places.Its an escape from reality for a while. I think that reading is brilliant for forgetting the crap thats gone on during the day.I can generally get right into the book as the main character and disappear for the time im in there.I dont think about bills or problems and it helps to get me to sleep.

Latest worries are ...Money or the lack of it..Christmas..its coming too fast..and my little Fiesta.

The Fiesta i have had since Chloe was small..its been places with me that no other car has..it got me escape when i was getting divorced..It was fought over and won..i lost everything but i still had my car and Chloe..It got me out meeting people and it got me to Andy and a new life so parting with it is going to be very hard.Its on its last legs and to be honest i know its not very safe to drive anymore.So we are going to get a car to replace it and i must kiss goodbye to the only thread of our past thats left.

Christmas is getting to be a pressure as the kids get older they need /want things that their friends have and Chloes very materialistic. have her main gift but i still need to get little bits and everyone Else's.
Andys birthday is in two weeks and i have no money to buy him anything yet.I have a list of bits he would like and you know its going to be a non surprise as i may get the wrong thing so he will have to pretend to be suprised for the kids.
Boo turns 3 in the beginning of December..i dont know what to get her for xmas let alone her birthday. She doesnt play with the toys she has and prefers to be creative with playdough or paint so maybe something along those lines..i have no idea..could always let her loose in toys are us and let her choose her own i suppose..

I have a friend who isnt very well and to be honest hes so far away i feel helpless.Im trying to keep him cheerful but at the end of the day he has the big C and dont know whats going to happen and neither does he. I sat thinking last night of all the young people i knew who had died and most of them were tragic in one way or another.Having the big C is your own body fighting its self basically and to me thats nonsense..why would your own body want to give up??
Penance it is not.Its just bloody bad luck.......
Fingers crossed the whip it out plan will work and all will be fine..i did jokingly say he should ask for a tummy tuck at the same time..i cant be serious when its really serious... i have to see a funny side..its how i cope.

Oh well more housework awaits so id better get my arse in gear and get it over with.
I do admit that buying the slow cooker was the best thing i did as it cuts down on loads of prep and clearing up..i just throw it in the pot and wait..lol.
Having the dishwasher is a bonus too.
Right slavery awaits
