Thats What Friends Are For

As the old song goes: "in good times and bad times, I'll be on your side forever more, That's What Friends Are For".

And you guys are my friends. Thanks for all the support about everything. It is also so great to know that half of us all suffer from the same sorts of things. It makes you feel not so alone.

I went in and signed my contract today. Clause 10.2 states:

"Because the company's business requires constant client contact, it is expected that you will maintain a professional standard of presentation in your dress and your manner in dealing with clients."

Uh oh!! My last job was pretty casual and I don't really have professional attire. So, I am going to have to do some money wrangling and get myself a few essential items. As it is coming into spring/summer, I will have to find a few snazzy shirts and a few nice pairs of dress trousers. Don't think I am ready to share the joy of my oedema laden cankles to the world of business just yet, so skirts are out. And there is my other problem - shoes. How the hell am I going to find a nice pair of shoes that fit wide blowfish feet?? I wish this health would all sort itself out. I think I am going to take a leaf out of Mary's book and start yoga and meditation. I used to meditate all the time and loved it. Really zoned out and it was just out of this world. And I have a Yoga video sitting here that I have not even opened. And, coffee may just have to piss off. I may just limit it to a treat scenario. I love real coffee and am not a great fan of the instant shit I drink at home anyway. Would be much better to get into my herbal teas.

Walked the midgets to school yesterday morning. They were a bit reluctant to get too enthusiastic about the idea, but I think they did quite well. We walked 2.1km in 29mins which is pretty legendary for those two dawdlers!! And then I walked back in 22mins. The shoes are really an issue for me. Currently I am wearing size 7 Mens Warehouse jobbies and they just give me such sore feet.

Enough with the whinging - I don't live in New Orleans so, really, I should shut the hell up.

Have a great night people and I will too. I am going to enjoy watching the performance show of INXS: Rockstar. I think I am addicted!!
