Moved the house

changed the phone number

and I was all set to walk away..( I hold a master’s degree in vanishing act..I have done it so many times!!)

Perhaps this is the first time, I actually thought if I am doing the right thing.. will I regret making my decisions later.. ( Normally I just do the things and regret at leisure!!!)

The fact that I need to write

and the fact that this blog is the only connection that I have with the rest of the world..is what prevents me from shutting this down.. I can’t do it..

So here we are

School has started

Yaya joined high school, she is doing spanish immersion. On the first day of school I forced her to wear jeans, when she wanted to wear shorts, for I was worried that there may be hazing and didn’t want her to create a wrong impression amongst her peer group.. She was the only one wearing jeans!! the rest were in shorts..( and I didn’t know where to look when my daughter gave me THAT look..)

The biggest hassle as a single parent is trying to be in two different places at the same time. I missed toothless’s and baby’s first day at school as I had to take yaya to her new school..It was heartbreaking not to have been there for them..

Yaya now has to take the bus and also has to walk almost 2 km to the school from the bus station. She is directionally challenged like me and I am afraid to let her travel by herself..I know I have to let her do it..I will eventually let her..till that time comes, I will drop and fetch her to and from school

I am still jobless..I am perpetually in the highly overqualified or stupidly underqualified category..

I have not been reading much lately..because I was busy shifting the house..currently the house looks like Katrina has been given a free run inside..and I keep looking at all the boxes that needs to be opened and the stuff that needs to be put away and hoping that the magic fairy might come and just clear the mess..

i also found some of the books that I had brought from Canada when I was packing and am tempted to just lay down in my hammock and read..

I have a nice bottle of red wine chilling in the fridge..perhaps.. I will drink my wine and read my book and say to hell with the world..

I am still alive.. I can still read.. and when tomorrow comes and my life is still screwed up, I shall bitch about it here!!!!
