• The cat cafe! OMGZ!!
• Had delicious ramen at Yuzu.
• Only one sleep til we go to the cat cafe for the first time!!
• The wind smelled like Spring for the first time. I feel a strange sense of anticipation and excitement. I wonder if this is what plants feel like when they're coming out of dormancy?
• Husband made an enjoyable hotpot.
• This adorable couple on India's Dancing Superstar: she's 61, he's 75. Their families opposed the marriage because of the age difference, but they married anyway for love. Now he has dementia and she has trouble walking, but they look after each other, and still look adoringly into each other's eyes. She did a traditional dance for him to a song about a beautiful nymph who visits her lover by moonlight. To him, she is still beautiful, and she still feels beautiful when he watches her dancing. Both Husband and I were crying by the end of the dance!
• India's Dancing Superstar!
• I keep having dreams that I'm potting up my beautiful flowering fuchsia cutting into a pot, and feeling happy. =)
• Even though I worked a nearly 12-hour day on Friday, I finally got those files finished, and had a good chat with my work-bro (acting boss atm so probably shouldn't call him that!); a bit of team bonding.
• "You and your delusional personality can suck it!!"
• After discussion, I felt better about several things.
• I have a booking for the cat cafe next week!!
• There's a cat cafe opening in Melbourne??!
• Captain Liberty: why do you always hide behind sex? Batmanuel: I can't help it - it's so big.
• It was so beautifully foggy all morning.
• I feel like I have more energy when I walk at the moment.
• The gum tree in the courtyard next to work is blooming.
• My friend asked me to help him out in his shop on Saturday mornings. Why me? Because "I want someone that I know and trust." Aww.
• I wore a co-ord completely different to anything I've worn before. It was very difficult accessorising it, especially as it was cold and I needed outerwear, etc, but I think I did OK.
• The sky was the most amazing colour this morning. The clouds collected into fluffy bunches of bluish-grey in one direction, and greyish-pink in the other. As the train came into the station, I could see that the city buildings were picking up the blue of the sky from somewhere, and they were a bright turquoise colour. The whole city skyline was a dream in pastels. Having picked up my copy of the weekly newspaper, I was still admiring the sky when suddenly an icy gale began to blow. Brown leaves and bits of debris hit myself and my fellow pedestrians in the legs. The wind was so strong that it pushed me along. How the pomeranian managed to stay upright, let alone his owner, I don't know! As we were waiting to cross the road, the rain began. It was light at first, though stinging, but as we were crossing the road, it became heavy and intense. I ran across the road, and stopped at the first overhanging eave I came across. I put my newspaper in my backpack to save it from getting any wetter. Then I paused a while, just as much to admire the sky as to wait for the rain to pass. On the other side of the Yarra, rain was sheeting horizontally across the front of the buildings. Behind, the clouds were now a brownish-pink colour, and being pushed fast by the wind. Three or four pedestrians were huddled under the eave now. A man with a duffle coat on and carrying a skateboard passed; he stopped and turned to look at the sky, just as I was doing. He saw me and we smiled at each other before he continued on, two strangers connecting in a moment of appreciation for the beauty of bad weather. The rain had eased a little, so I decided to continue on as well. There were still two blocks to go. As I came up the hill, I noticed that the upper floors of the skyscrapers were a softly-glowing golden colour. The sun was peeking out from behind the clouds in the east while it was still cloudy and raining up above. As I walked, I looked up at them, with their pastel pink bodies and golden crowns, and I felt a sense of elation. Appreciation for nature and the weather in all its forms filled me with joy and put a silly grin on my face. I took my last chance to admire the sky through the bare branches of a row of trees, before crossing the road and going in to work.
• I had pho as it rained, and it finished raining right before i finished my pho.
• I saw some promising letterform inspo in my research.
• Really great wakeup call!
• I did some glueing in my art journals. The striped tissue paper looks really awesome on a painted background.
• I feel really inspired as a Mori Girl at the moment. I feel it's very important in my life to keep me happy amongst everything that's going on at work.
• I came back to reading C's blog after a while away, and I'm very happy to see that she followed her heart and moved overseas.
  • A total stranger! The fact that I even know about that - let alone care - is quite surreal. The 21st-century is a very odd place, but I do like it.
• C gave me a gift and told me she'll really miss me.
• The way my body felt all warm and comfortable after my stretching session.
• Hearing two guys sitting opposite me on the train speak a completely incomprehensible language, catching the words 'Brazil' and 'Neymar' in the middle of it, and suddenly it being clear what they were talking about.
• Husband and I saw a person trying to park their car at the train station. It took them so long to do it, crawling back and forth on ever more crazy angles, pausing each time as if to try and remember which way the car will go when they turn the steering wheel. Even though they arrived at the station just after we did, they were still backing in and out as the train was leaving.
• I solved the Rubik's Cube!! (using the children's instructions, eheheh)
• The delicious breakfast quiche that husband made!
• I still remembered all the Spanish from the Chains Episode of Blackadder. =)
• I played in my art journal.
• I did the stretching.
• I found my old Four Rooms document and I made it into a List.
• "No person, idea, or experience is worthless. You can always use them as a bad example."
• I made eggs for breakfast, and they were only half shabby.
• I didn't go on the computer all day Saturday.
• I've started reading the weekly newspaper.
• I had a long and thought-provoking discussion.
• I had to type a long word and pretty much pressed keys randomly and I spelled it correctly.
• I went further than planned on my lunchtime walk.

just because this is all a dream, doesn't mean it can't be a happy one
