You will have to excuse me, I’m going through what is politely known as a phase right now and I’m kinda in a very selfish and demanding frame of mind.

There is just so much going on, and this detox thing has morphed into a total lack of interest in parties or any sort of social stuff, instead I’ve been glued to my laptop working on something old which is about to become something new. And that’s all I’m saying, other than the fact that it is giving me teething trouble and without a bit of help I would have given up already.

In some very exciting news, it appears that I will be getting my very first car quite soon! Not as soon as this weekend as I’d hoped, but next weekend. Which isn’t too far away really, and gives me time to get my gate buzzer fixed, let the people who’ve been loaning my parking bay know that they can park elsewhere soon, and prepare myself for the extremely thrilling but pretty darn scary thought of navigating my way (alone) through the insane free for all that we like to call ‘town’.

The first thing I want to do is drive my new wheels up to Piketberg, where my sister will hand over the fluffy dice she has promised, and to get a bit of custom murg worked in, maybe a racing stripe or something. Then I need to think about serious stuff, like where the hell I’m going to park for work. What fun, I honestly was starting to doubt this day would ever come.

Then there is this headache which has been playing with me for the past week or so. My mom thinks I might have tick bite fever, and that would make sense except I don’t seem to have a rash. It reached a hectic peak on Tuesday, resulting in me actually leaving work at lunchtime, and the rest of the week has been a bit of a blur what with the syndols and all, but today it seems to have subsided a fair bit. I think it’s probably just all the stuff going on in my head right now, maybe I have repetitive thought syndrome?

Last but not least is this damn winter which is finally kicking in, after a few lovely days of sunshine. I have mixed feelings on winter – cold I can handle, to a point… rain, not so much. I hate getting wet, and I hate driving in the rain, and I hardly like even hearing it. It’s just not fun unless I’m wearing my flamingo wellies and jumping in puddles.

So basically, weird as this seems, life is pretty busy and crazy right now – and I’m not even going out and misbehaving! Which is EXACTLY why I wanted May to be a detox month… and also a hetox month, with no booze and no boys to complicate things further.

Anyhoo, The O.C is about to start and I need more coffee. Happy Friday for tomorrow!!!

    Awesome, a car, time to start taxi dodging!

    I still have to figure out the driving thing…

    So happy for you about the car Rox! :-D you better post photos once you have her all dolled up.

    Oh yeah, and I wanted to tell you. I’ve had tick bite fever twice and it never came with a rash. It comes with one helluva head ache, fever, loss of balance, and sometimes chills – but I’ve never had it with a rash. Also I don’t think it’s the kind of thing that clears up on it’s own. You definitely need medical intervention for it.

    @Po – it’s all pretty new and stuff to me, should be quite an experience!!

    @Louisa – the problem is, it’s damn hard to identify tick bite fever… I was up at my sister’s farm almost 2 weeks ago though, and have been having these headaches (with fever, nightmares, chills and loss of balance, lol) for about a week and a bit. Have been bitten by ticks there, and my mom’s had tick bite fever so that’s why she suspects it may be that. Hmm… maybe best to get to doc and see!

    P.S. How disaster prone am I?! Sheesh.
