Drifting through life

I didn't have this scheduled, because I didn't have anything that irritated me. So today I went shopping for a couple of new things, because I'm taking a short holiday soon. Here's the breakdown:- undies and socks shopping=10 minutes. time spent waiting for buses=2 1/2 hours. There's an irritation. Oh, you want to know about the holiday? on Friday 5th I'm flying across the country to Perth, to stay for a week with my brother R and his partner V. I've never been to WA. I've heard Perth is similar to Adelaide climate wise, so that's okay, but sightseeing....well there's a lot of things to see and do...I'm having a hard time deciding on that. I'm definitely taking a ferry trip around Rottnest Island,  a day to look around the local markets is planned, the rest of the time we'll decide over breakfast what to do that day. It's going to be fun. But I'm not taking the computer, so I'll be offline for several days....

h-o-l-i-d-a-y And I'm having one. Right now. Left work today and I'm not going back. I booked this holiday a while ago and recently went to the office to apply for an extension. I have a lot of leave accumulated and I think an extended period of not lifting heavy bags and not standing in one spot for four hours at a time can only be good for me. I'll take things easy, get lots of sleep, continue with the swimming until it gets too cold and do some mild exercise of the stretching variety. And some walking too. I'll be able to wean myself off the large amounts of painkillers I take daily just to be able to work. I don't take them on weekends because I'm able to stop and rest or lie down if my back begins to ache. (can't do that at work) All this has to be beneficial surely. The best part? I get to sleep in. Another good thing? I don't have to wait around at bus stops and then spend about an hour bracing myself against the turns and sudde...
