today was a good day :-)

i keep on thinking today is sunday... i guess cause today was a public holiday and back to normal trading tomorrow, it sorta makes it feel like a sunday in that way...

work started off quiet... dead, actually... i helped a couple walking around the store this morning and in my circle around the store, i crossed their path about 4 times..... and then out of nowhere.... in a space of 60 seconds, 4 cars rolled into the trade area, and off we went...

it was madness, cars everywhere, a queue to exit the trade area (no thanks to the dickhead who was parking in the middle of the road and never in an actual parking space lol)...... we were flat out for a few hours then it finally started to taper down after about 1.30-2pm... so the afternoon was reasonable from then on...

it was good to be productive though, it helps to pass things along a bit better...

then i had a visitor stop by on their way back to melbourne from daylesford - it was really good to just catch up... wasn't sure if sex was expected, and i am still recovering from the tummy bug, so i messaged back beforehand making sure it was clear that none was on offer...

had a wonderful evening, talking, chatting, conversing..... talking about my situation with work and finances etc, and he mentioning his new job that he's literally just started this week...

then he asked what i was doing for dinner, and i said i was having some leftovers - he asked about having dinner together somewhere, and i just said "yeah that's fine as long as you're paying!" hehehe

found out that the shop next door to the takeaway shop (which has been empty as long as i've lived here), finally opened this week as a proper fully fledged pizza and pasta shop! perfect opportunity to taste their wares when someone else was paying hehehehe

tried a cream penne pasta with chicken and mushroom - wow the ratio of chicken and mushrooms versus the pasta was by far to the side of chicken and mushroom (very impressed) - i said if they keep that up, they'd either reduce the amount of chicken they put in it, or increase the price of the dish, or both lol

their timings are still being ironed out so the pasta came first before the pizza even hit the oven... so we snacked on the pasta, then just as we finished it, the pizza was ready, so brought it home... greek lamb pizza - was seeing if it was anything like the old lamb pizza at big nick's in wyndham vale... it wasn't the same, but it was still very tasty... i'm looking forward to trying their hotter ones next time, meat lovers, mexicana etc

then i took him out the backyard to show what awesome colours in the silence of the evening would appear in the sky at sunset....

wow, the pinks, oranges, cut through the centre with a long strip cloud of dark purple, mixed in with a few white swirls like a meringue...

i really love it here, it's exactly where i want to be

so overall it's been a good day i reckon :-)

be good to see my psychiatrist tomorrow after work - he's a quietly spoken indian dude, and when he talks, i get the warm and fuzzies about it, he's just a really kind lovely man - it helps to have that persona in the position he's in i think.

and i have my review later in the evening with the cute sleep specialist.... see how things go with that appointment too.....

nice one :-)
