Autumn
With the changing seasons.. and the wind, rain and cold of Autumn.. plus seeing everyone – including Miss Chin (man this is weird looking at Rach from a totally different perspective – HAH MISS CHIN?? who's dat?) update their blogs.. ive decided to post something.
It seems like Winter has absolutely no regard for Autumn’s feelings, and has completely taken over by storm and chucked her in the loony bin.. Only 2 weeks ago, Adelaide was a raging furnace with the weather temperature going psycho.. the hottest and longest heat wave for afew decades (I think) but right now, its been freezing.. yesterday was so dark, cold and gloomy, and yesterday it actually hailed! And they weren’t small balls of ice either.. they were more like the size of a fifty cent pieces!!
Tonight’s weather would reach about 9 degrees… but im not complaining! At least I get to wear my winter gear and scarves and stuff!
Also with such an emotional start to the neverending busy week (I kid you not – I have not been home before 9pm everyday since Saturday), I couldn’t help but have gotten to thinking.. “What would I be doing to have the most relaxing, comfortable time ever?!” which led me to the even bigger question of “where would I be going to do that?”
Dreams can remain dreams, but I guess to answer that question… “So what would I be doing?” I guess what I normally do when I have a spare moment these days, is just to wear the comfiest gear.. thick wolly socks, house uggies, shorts (or pj , T-shirt, a jumper and maybe a scarf… and bum around my house, watching a movie or two, or any tv series.. which I’ve never seen before, cuddling Milo all huddled up on the couch with a good beer or a hot chocolate..
Add a hot steaming soak in the tub before with scented candles in the background whilst I give myself a facial mask treatment, or a really, really hot and long shower, either which on a cold, wet and rainy day with thundery gray skies.. followed by a home-manicure / pedicure of some kind.. and having Milo to cuddle and hold while he falls asleep in my arms whilst we (well I) watch some TV..
Sounds idealic? I couldn’t get anymore relaxed than that.. it sounds soo appealing to me.. Ill just wait till I have a good hot water system before I attempt to do any soaking or have more than a 5 minute shower..
All this got me thinking to set some goals.. which are simply not achievable right now.. things like.. a new carpet in a different colour.. a plasma TV.. foxtel.. when I get the money saved up, im going to turn my living room into a luxury one.. a place where full relaxation starts by the mere look of it.. cream coloured carpets, a big (I mean big) Plasma TV, couches that you can just melt into… the works!
But right now, im perfectly happy with what I have, and im really grateful that I have it! I am in no hurry because as I said.. I can keep dreaming!! I love dreaming.. :)
deb's outta there..
