i got KO'd

let me tell you about how i ended up having a swollen temple/cheekbone yesterday.

it all started with me and tristan getting dressed at the same time. i had just put on a tank top and wanted to see how it looked with my shorts. i knew he was a couple of steps behind me because i saw his reflection in the mirror. whilst i was doing the vanity thing, he was struggling to get his fist through a tight armhole.

and finally, with a bit of force (though it felt really powerful if you were to ask me) he got his fist through the left sleeve of his sweater. at the exact moment i turned around to face him.

bam! (i heard a very loud CRACK)

i just got punched in the face.

and there was... nothing.

next thing i know, everyone at home was in our room, i was on the floor, someone was massaging my feet, i had a makeshift ice compress (ice cubes in a sock!) against my right temple, and my baby was staring at me curiously.

and tristan was laughing his ass off.

just because i am...

compelled to blog.

* for the first time in eight months, i have stepped inside a movie theatre again. lovely date time with the husband. going gold class next time.

* discovered scrape marks on the rear left passenger side door of our beloved honda civic. so pissed. but i guess that's what i get for parking in an unmarked bay. still pissed.

* got a $58 parking ticket for parking in said unmarked bay. discovered flapping parking ticket against the windshield while doing 100kph on the eastlink. couldn't be bothered to pull over and grab it, half-wishing that it gets blown off so i can feign ignorance. but the thing was too stubborn. drove home with it. damn adhesive held. all 35kms of the way down the peninsula. tsk.

* one more week and i become a full-time stay-at-home mum again. one more week and i become a statistic. i'm psyched.

* on queue: books to read, crafts to learn, skills to hone, a business to run, recipes to try, ideas to test and trips to prepare for. it's so good to be alive.

* me being very blunt: you can run, you can hide, but you're still a copycat. i am me, and you're just you. deal with it. hagisan kita diyan eh --- ng love and friendship.

* gotta catch some zzz's. i haven't slept in 11 months!

i realise i have been markedly absent...

... but i guess it's time to rekindle this flickering love affair with writing. i'll be back pretty soon.

someone will have words to steal again. but. that's just how it is.

much like how friday always follows thursday. it's almost the weekend! let the good times start rolling.
