One of the ongoing problems I seem to have is that whenever I travel I get sick after I come home…. I thought it was just related to my normal travel itinerary which used to consist of a long 9 hour or 11 hour flight home from the States followed by depression caused by missing My Boy after spending time with him..

and so… that bit of waffle brings me round in a fabulous way to the fact that I am sick as all hell…

I have come home from Turkey.. relatively unscathed by illness… to descend into the grip of the most awful flu… and yes.. the depression is descending somewhat.. but that can be attributed to immigration… forms… arguments and just plain twattishness…. (if that isn’t a word… it should be).

The joke in the office is that Barbie is getting her own back in some sick way by striking me down with flu as I was one of the very lucky few who didn’t get ill on vacation. I am pleased to say that my skeeter bites are almost healed up… I showed them off in Woolworths cafe the other day much to the horror of Barbie and HB and I could see people looking at me wondering what the hell kind of infection I had…

I have spent the weekend doing absolutely feck all… and its been nice… especially after having such a hectic week catching up on all the laundry and everything else that travel brings with it….

I was tempted to just repack all of my summer clothes away into the suitcases… thinking that I wont need them again until I am safely living with My Boy… but sadly arguments and stupidity have made me think I might just hold that thought…

One thing I have been doing all weekend.. to keep my calm chilled state is to listen to shed loads of John Mayer and Jack Johnson… I’ve been a huge fan of Jack Johnson for so long that I’m actually pissy that hes making it “big” now… hes always had a huge following.. but.. and I know this makes now sense whatsoever… here.. amongst my friends and family.. he was my little secret… and now I keep seeing these damn adverts on the tv for his album “In Between Dreams” and it pisses me off.. I don’t want other people to get to know him.. I don’t want him to get all “popular”… ha ha ha.. how selfish is that.. and it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever either….

And something else… John Mayer… how many times have I listened to my John Mayer cd’s and never got to listen to the whole thing… (I know what I mean.. bear with me…)

When I get in the car in the mornings.. depending on traffic I usually get to listen to about 5 maybe 6 songs… and this explains why I’ve never heard “Covered In Rain” from the John Mayer live album “Any Given Thursday“… I listened to it today.. and it BLEW ME THE HELL AWAY!!!!!!!!!.. Go listen to it… now…

Shoo…..
